Prayer Requests from church members:

• Prayer for our children, that they would follow Jesus and walk with Him in their daily life.
• For the Holy Spirit to convict our unbelieving family members of His love and mercy and that they would be keen to be one of His flock.
• Give thanks for Jonathan's faithful leadership over many years, and ask God to fill him with a deep sense of joy and hope in Christ.
• Prayer for our political leaders, especially with the upcoming election in mind.

• Praise God for His faithfulness in answering our prayers by providing an Assistant Minister. Please be praying for St Matt’s as they farewell the Vella family and adjust to church-life without them. And also pray for Andrew and Hannah and their kids as they join us, that we will welcome them and be ready to grow with them to maturity in Christ.

From Chenny, our CMS prayer partner working with uni students in Tokyo:

In the past months I've been spending time and energy in connecting with students to establish KGK Crossing International Fellowship.  A Christian community of inter-campus international students and English-speaking Japanese students. 

Praise and Prayer points: 
- Thanking God for new academic year 
- Thanking God for students who are willing to serve as core people/student leaders for Crossing Fellowship 
- Pray that first-years students can join KGK in their campuses
- Pray that international students will join Crossing Fellowship 
- Pray that God will use Crossing as the bridge between Japanese and international students, for the glory of Jesus 🙏
