Mission of the Month: Bush Church Aid
Pray for the Nungalinya College Chaplaincy Program.
Pray for the chaplains when they are asked to deal with difficult situations. May they have confidence in their own abilities and trust in God’s wisdom to step into these spaces, confidently managing their reactions and those of others. Pray for opportunities for the Chaplain to provide insights from their own experience and practical feedback from conversations with students to teachers and deans about college courses and processes. Pray for a continued reliance on God in prayer for big things and everyday occurrences. May the enthusiasm of the Chaplain to pray, provide an encouragement and example to others.
Pray for Pat and Issy O’Keefe, in Katherine. Pray for them, for the flourishing of new relationships and those already formed, and the forging of deeper fellowship. Pray that their ministry would be shaped by sharing the Gospel and their lives.
