Supporters: September 2006 Archives

As I type this, 50 of the key 24-7 leaders from across the nations are meeting to seek God, worship Him, tell stories of what He is doing around the globe, and pray.

We have two gatherings at 24-7 each year - the Roundtable, and the International Leaders Gathering. I'll be making a few posts over the next few days, and we would really value your prayers for both of these gatherings. To begin with, I'm going to concentrate on the former, the Roundtable.

We've just had an amazing God filled weekend here in Reading. My church, Greyfriars, has been holding regular outreaches to people in the town centre, specifically around a vision to offer prayer for healing.

As I mentioned in a previous post, these times have been an incredible encouragement to me, due to the team of people from the church being released into their many different giftings. This mix came to the fore again this weekend, with many examples of the team working together to see God glorified.

One of the main characteristics of this particular weekend was the presence of New Zealander Craig Marsh. Craig was miraculously healed of cancer in 1999 - and I mean miraculously, God giving him a new stomach after his own had been surgically removed - and he was at Greyfriars to teach on healing and evangelism.

Craig had some great insights to share with us, and the weekend ended with him preaching and praying for people's healing on the Sunday night. People were still being prayed for when Shirley and I left at 10, the service having started at 7. Definitely the longest service I've been to at Greyfriars, and probably one of the most memorable.

If you're interested, you can hear Craig's testimony here.
