There was something different about him. He's a bit religious - we can't work out that side of him; but there was something really different, and good, and we liked that person. Influence the life of God.
Father, I just pray that in these coming days, that what we've laboured many years to build, will impart progressively and more deeply into people here; and the church will grow out into the community.
We pray Lord for grace on Dave and Kate, as they lead the work, and begin to find their feet and their strength; that Lord they will go much further than we did, and take what we did and take it where it needs to go - out there; that Lord the price we paid wouldn't be in vain, and they'll run with those things, inspire the church, carry a message of hope to our community. Amen.
I'd like you to pray for the person next to you, if you're comfortable to do that. Pray for a need, if they have a need - they could tell you the need; but why don't you pray that they will begin to grow like they've never grown before. That this next season in their life will be a time of growth, expansion, enlargement, increase. That God's hand would be on their life - giving them grace to do it. God bless you.
