Planning Ahead- Autumn 2010
Summer Recess: Christian Broadcasting, Youth Outreach and More
Our students have plenty to keep them busy over the Summer recess! During the Czech holiday season (which runs in some shape or form for the whole of July and August), there will be no official meetings of Potenciál, but they will be working in groups on their various developmental projects as well as the challenge to study and report upon the development of their own spiritual potential in the service of their local churches.
The organisations they have chosen to contact and study over the holiday period are quite exciting, including a Christian school, a youth outreach initiative, caring for the needy and a Christian broadcasting company. There is so much potential for widening their experience and vision. Let’s pray that it will be a good time of hearing the Holy Spirit say, ‘Have you seen this? What about you getting more involved?’
Back at base: already we are reaping rich rewards in the reports we are getting on the way lives are changing and new heights are being reached. But that is obvious anyway, from the way in which we see God at work when we are together. Click on the title to read more...
Prayer For the Future
- The end of the course is already in sight now (late November – yes, enjoy your summer holiday first!) What happens then? One of the most urgent answers to prayer we need is direction: a word from God about future planning. What he brought to us in this course is something special; an opportunity for those who don’t often get much chance to develop their own spiritual muscles and we should like to offer the same chance to many others. How do we do it? We don’t just feel we should simply attempt to duplicate what we have already done, but wait for the ‘now word’ from God. That’s certainly a prayer request.
- We had an unpleasant surprise last week: the hotel where we hold our meetings have double booked for the weekend 10-12 September – and are very apologetic! But it means we have to bring our next weekend meeting forward by one week. Happily it only rules out two students; it could have been much worse. We believe God will overrule anyway and somehow his purposes are going to be fulfilled in all this. In any case, we anticipate a good outcome for your prayers – you haven’t failed us yet, God bless you!!!
