Prayer Update
July 2007
Roger & Gaynor Ridley
Praise Points
- Extension of our visa, yet to be officially pasted into our passports. As yet we don’t know how long it is for - but probably 2 years.
- Good conclusion to the 6 week S.H.A.P.E. course we did with our Mosaic Team.
- We asked you to pray for us as we met with the team to discuss ‘Where to from here’ last month. Thank you. Praise God for a profitable Team Meeting last Sunday to discuss important core issues (theological basis/missional practice) as we move forward.
- Roger had emergency surgery by an Oral Surgeon in Lörrach on 10 July to have a back tooth removed that was very infected. We want to praise God for the skill of the surgeon and his follow up treatment of Roger.
- Our family in Melbourne – Tim and Amy, Jocelyn and Glenda & Tom. Thank God that Jocelyn has found permanent accommodation in Thornbury and seems to be happily settled there now.
Prayer Points
- Our ‘one off ’ support is dropping. If we don’t maintain this we are going to have to look at ‘creative ways’ of raising money to keep us here in Germany!
- We begin ‘Fridays at Galerie Weibel’ on 3 August from 18:00. We hope to run these every Friday with some Mosaic Team members who will also fill in when we are not able to be there.
- Gaynor continues with her ‘Girl’s Night’ once a month and the next one is this Thursday. Pray that Gaynor will be a real shining witness of God’s love to these women as she seeks to serve them in this way (preparing a dinner and sharing our home with them).
- Glenda began teaching again today (23 July) at Brentwood Secondary College in Melbourne. Please pray with us that she will settle back into teaching smoothly.
- We have been asked by our Youth Pastor at our German Church to go on the 10 day Youth Camp at the end of August. Please pray as we prepare for this.
- Gaynor has not had good health this past month. We think the shingle virus is still in her system. She has just started to see a Doctor who also practices homeopathy. So this will be a lengthy process, but hopefully very beneficial in the long term.
