Please pray for the EMA today (Monday)
Please, can we ask you this week to pray for the EMA? You may well not be coming, but even so, we still covet your prayers. Each day this week we will post a particular topic to pray for. Today we're praying for the EMA delegates.
We have something like 1,100 people coming to the EMA next week (Monday through Wednesday). We have prayed and planned this conference so it will encourage those in Word ministry, and the test is, of course, whether it does just that. So, please do pray for the Spirit's work:
- pray for safe journeys and the ability for people to arrive freshly enough to benefit from the three days together
- give thanks for those who are encouraged in ministry, that during this EMA they will be able to encourage others and be enabled to walk even more closely with Christ
- remember those who are struggling in ministry for all kinds of different reasons. Pray that this EMA will be just the tonic for them and that God would ordain meetings and encounters which will be just what they need.
- please pray that people will be able to sift well so that they can remember, reflect on and apply that which is useful and discard that which is not.
- pray for teachable hearts. It is remarkable how battle hardened ministers can be when we get together. We tend to listen critically and we are praying that those who attend will listen with hearts ready to receive what the Lord intends to teach. Join us in that prayer.
- please pray for newcomers. We have about 300 people coming who have not been before. We long that they would feel right at home from the off, benefit from the conference and discover and build relationships that will last.
Thank you for your prayers.
