Give thanks and praise:

 

  • Thanks to God for all that has happened this year in Bradford in His name, for how He has blessed us with opportunities and togetherness.
  • Give thanks for a year of Bradford Street Angels and for recent funding received for them by the police
  • For a more united approach to evangelism and serving
  • For the schools week with Christian girl band TBC, for the invitation from the schools to do whole school assemblies rather than just to the Christians as we had expected!
  • Thanks to God that the posters on the back of the buses were noticed by thousands and that still two buses have them on, even though it's a month after they should have taken them down!
  • For those who have given their life to Jesus, remembering to pray for their early days as Christians
  • Thank Him for all who strive to show and share His love in Bradford
  • For new links between His church and the people of Bradford on every level. Thank you God.
  • Our young people, their great potential and all those who work to protect and nurture them

 

 

Please pray for:

 

  • A continuing momentum for God's team in Bradford, that we can be more inclusive, more outwardlooking, more united in our efforts to help the poor, struggling, ill, lonely and unloved.
  • Further funding to continue what we're doing in Bradford - several big applications are in hand and we are waiting to hear if they are successful.
  • All those on Alpha courses (or follow-ups) and the people running them.
  • Plans for our public Christmas celebrations to be well attended and that they will be a magnet for shoppers and passers by to receive the blessing of God's truth.
  • For people to be warmed to God by the love and care shown to them during the Hours of Kindness Campaign..and photographer Tony O'Connell as he logs what's been happening.  
  • The safety of the Street Angels and their witness, also provision for them - financial and volunteers.
  • For the young people attending the Youth for Christ event in January - that they will be be all-ears to God's great love for them.
  • Please pray we can bear with each other, as the Bible says, as diverse Christians seek to work together more and more and for God to bless many new friendships.
  • Further publicity both in Bradford and beyond.
  • Hope to grow! and grow! and grow!!!
