Lawrence of Arabia
Having prepared our maps in Kro as usual, we headed outside to start the hunt only to immediately bump into someone else from church. We got to pray for healing for his foot and bless him as he went on with his day - always an encouraging way to start an afternoon of street ministry. We walked down towards the Library in the direction of a crane and a ladder, two location clues that our team had....

Mohawks
We left Kro and headed up towards MMU. A guy with a mohawk appeared, we went and chatted with him - he’d literally just had it shaved, so it was perfect timing. He was called Nurul, from Singapore, and we prayed for energy for him and for warmth to get through his first winter outside of the tropics! He was a such a amazing guy, and even stayed to chat after his friend had to leave - always a good...
Healing
A friend who I knew years ago contacted me on Facebook and we’ve started talking fairly regularly. She’s not a Christian yet and mentioned that. She has been having really bad back pain. So I said I’d be praying for her. A couple of weeks later she posted that she’d been out for a meal and then been violently sick afterwards - followed by her back being totally OK! Turned out it had been a...
Local
I’ve been praying a lot more recently for God to really come and move more in my local area and in my friends and family. Today I spent some time with a friend who, years ago, I took to an Alpha course but who doesn’t know Jesus yet. She has had good contact with church over the years but doesn’t go regularly. I decided to be proactive and ask her about her and God. So I asked God to show me where...
Neighbours
Also over the last few weeks I’ve felt God’s prompting to make an effort to get to know my neighbours. This week we had a social at Lifegroup which is in my house and they were invited, they came and even brought friends. It turns out that one guy was an acquaintance from abroad, he had only been in the country 3 days and when we were talking he found out we were Christians and then...

Treasure Hunt
I went treasure hunting on sunday. Having not been sure whether to go, I was asking God, and he replied: ‘do you want to be blessed?’ So I went.
We started our on our map, but quickly felt like we should buy some bread and started handing out bread to people - telling them we were Christians and that we just wanted to say ‘God loves you’. Loads of people were so surprised by it and...
Training
Yesterday, I went to prophetic training because I am joining a team on Sunday mornings. Not sure if I had done the course before, I decided to do it anyway so I was fully prepared to serve on the team the next day - I thought I was going to this training to learn to serve better (which was true) but I ended up getting more out of it than I had imagined.
That morning I had been stressing about some...
Fasting
A couple of weeks ago, Sarah gave a talk on fasting and it made me realise that I had never really taken fasting seriously because I didn’t understand how it could be beneficial for my relationship with God. I decided to give it a go that week, the day before I had a job interview. I have been trying to get a job for many months, becoming increasingly disillusioned and frustrated with the...
