Prayerlines – April 2019
“And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Luke 11:9
Praise God . . . Answered Prayers
1. The Rising Above Band had a very meaningful time ministering to the inmates at the Stoney Mountain Penitentiary. There was very good turnout and the men were very receptive. The band members had some very good conversations with the inmates after the concert.
2. A young man recently released on parole and doing grief counselling with Johan has made some significant steps in his healing. He said, “In all the counselling I’ve done I’ve not worked on my issues like this.”
3. The faith circle in Parry Sound will resume again after many months without a leader.
