Mission Partner Prayer Focus
Our last week of praying for Scripture Union this week.
Please pray for Geoff Brown, supported by Holy Trinity, and working in a team for Scripture Union in the North East and Yorkshire.
Geoff asks for wisdom, as he works in Schools and Churches with many opportunities to give the Gospel to the 95% of children and young people who never go to Church.
Pray for the young people who heard about Jesus at Scripture Union camps and houseparties in the Summer. May they grow in their faith and commitment to Jesus.
