Cancer
Since August 2011, we have been letting you know on our old prayer blog about a friend of Del Bostock’s, Neil, who was diagnosed with cancer in his lung, pancreas and liver. We have been praying for healing for Neil, and also praying that his wife, Joyce, and daughter and son-in-law, Ruth & Ash, would know peace, comfort and hope through this situation.
Treatment has been ongoing for a...
New Car
We acquired a new car a few weeks ago (that’s another story, but I just tell people “God got it us!” and if they raise their eyebrows then never mind eh?!) which is a bit bigger than our last one. Reversing has never been my strong point and I had a visit coming up to the hospital with my Dad. Last visit, the parking was horrendous and I think it might have been an angel who got me my space...
Mission Week
This past week, Manchester Uni Christian Union had their annual mission week. Here are four testimonies from different people who attended the events:
Person 1 - He didn’t know anything about Jesus and he had no Christian friends, but was handed a flyer and decided to come to the lunch bar on Tuesday. Here he met some Christians and came to BaaBar in the evening to hear more about Jesus. By...
Keys
I lost my keys on Saturday night, and had been looking for them all the next morning. I had turned the kitchen and my room upside down, almost resigning myself to the £70 replacement fee. I went to see a friend to ask if they had seen them, but they weren’t in his room, so he encouraged me to pray for them (It’s awful how forgetful I am of God’s goodness!).
I went to the kitchen...
Teeth
I was recently attending a conference and during the first session on Friday evening I was having some pain in one of my front teeth which has had a clear coating to protect a groove at the top of the tooth. When I touched the tooth I could feel a crack in the coating. I did not want to miss the next day of the conference and would not be able to get to the dentist until at least Monday, so I...
Influence
After the amazing talk at Reach on Sunday night, I was pumped to go out into life and influence for God. It turns out God was just as eager! I was in uni on Monday and we had watched a video about Globalisation. The only question my classmate had afterwards was, ‘What is pentecostalism?’ The teacher began to explain, but then just turned to me, in front of the whole class, and said...
Date Night
We have been trying to get into the habit of having a regular date nightand had planned part of an evening in a nice pub in between doing something else. We’d also worked out our weekly budget.
Looking forward to the lovely surroundings and time, we got to the bar and asked each other if they had the money for the evening. Both of us said said that we thought the other one had it in their weekly...
