We also give thanks to the Lord who has supplied all our financial needs, and to the many groups and individuals who have given amazingly generously this year!

Please pray for:

• Transformed lives: our great desire is that people will encounter the Risen Christ as they tour the Garden. The following testimony was shared by one of our volunteer guides earlier this month:“A young man from London followed a number of groups I guided. Asking him why, he said he liked what he was hearing, and style of presentation. Asked “are you a believer in Jesus?” he said he wasn’t but was seeking. He later asked if he could come to church and on Sunday he joined a group of us going to a local Baptist church. Something was definitely going on with this man, a Chinese Malay from East London. After a further chat with him two days later we said the believer’s prayer together”.We pray for many more testimonies like this!
• Pray that the tangible presence of the Living Saviour will be felt in the Garden – bringing glory to the Father, and Salvation to all who enter our gates. “[He] wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.”

Colossians 4:2-6: “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ… Pray that [we] may proclaim it clearly, as [we] should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone”.

Blessings from Jerusalem!
