Mission Partner Focus – Church Mission Society (CMS)

Our new prayer focus this week is CMS – Andy and Kati Walsh in Florianopolis, Brazil

For more information visit churchmissionsociety.org/walsh or see the Mission notice board in the Arches coffee area.

Prayer points

• Their work in prisons is hampered by the various restrictions imposed on them in terms of access and what they’re permitted to do once inside. Pray for the Lord to cut the red tape and open the doors to them.
• Pray they will continue to be encouraged by what they’re seeing the Lord do in people’s lives.
• There is a significant shortfall in their funding, which puts their work at risk. Pray that they will receive increased funding from supporters. If you can help to close their funding gap, please go to churchmissionsociety.org/walsh or call 01865 787489.

This year they will be in the UK between May and July when they plan to meet up with supporters and family. They will be visiting Holy Trinity on June 9^th.
