HOLY WEEK AND EASTER

Holy Week and Easter is always a special time for us here in Ashford. Please pray for the following:-
  • our focus throughout Holy Week is going deeper - we want to encourage people to step out of their comfort zones and experience new things about God
  • please pray people would attend the evening sessions and that the Spirit of God would be allowed to touch peoples lives
  • please pray for a united service we are holding at south ashford baptist church on maundy thursday, instead of at our centre. during this time some of our members will be baptised - which is not practised within the army but is something people have asked to respond to God in, to help them be obedient and go deeper with Him
  • please pray for the united witness of churches together as we meet together in the morning of Good Friday and hold a witness in the centre of the town - this will be different to other years and we pray will be effective
  • please pray for our own Good Friday reflection - last year it lasted a long time, because God did some amazing things. Please pray that we would see God's Hand on this meeting and for those who come, will be ready to meet with Him
  • please pray for the cadets from the william booth college who will be travelling down to ashford on saturday and sundayu - pray that their ministry and outreach on the saturday would be well received and that they would be encouraged by the contacts that they make
  • please pray for the sunday meetings led by the cadets, for our easter feast and for the new soldiers of Jesus Christ in The Salvation Army that will be enrolled
  • please pray for our easter mondy event, this year being held at the school, that this will be effective, that it will draw people in, and that we will be able to build positive and lasting relationships
  • please pray for salvation, healing, miracles and more - because this is all about Jesus and Kingdom ministry and authority

MARILYN BAKER

Please pray for the visit of Marilyn Baker to Ashford this weekend, and that we will see the work of the Holy Spirit among us. Please also pray we are able to bless Marilyn financially from this weekend, as it comes as a cost to her and her own ministry team.
