Chin Prayer Update – 28th April, 2011

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Bronwyn’s father sadly passed away early on Easter Sunday.  Although he never professed to be a Christian, he read a long letter from Bronwyn explaining the gospel a few days before, and prayed with us in response to Psalm 23. He even asked God to have mercy on Bronwyn with regard to her cancer.

His funeral is on at 1:30 pm Tue 3rd May at St. Matthews Anglican Church, Manly. Bronwyn will be praying and I will give a brief talk from Psalm 23 at the service.

In the mean time:
* Bronwyn’s mother is still recovering from a triple bypass.
* Bronwyn is well enough to receive chemotherapy
* Her sister (Michelle) will be with our family whilst I am speaking at a convention for medical students and staff in Queensland this weekend (on  the theme of suffering – teaching the
book of Habakkuk).
* Our children started back at school after a busy and fruitful break.

Please pray that
* the funeral service will glorify God and turn Bronwyn’s wider family back to him.
* the chemotherapy keeps Bronwyn’s cancer at bay and she has enough energy for the funeral.
* Richard will speak faithfully and well this weekend.
* Our children keep looking to Jesus.

Thanks for loving us,
Richard Chin.

DAC at Prayer

The week just gone was our Dapto Anglican week of prayer during which we held two parish wide prayer meetings to come together to give thanks to God and to ask Him to be working His kingdom purposes in our community. We used our DAC discipleship pathway to inform our time together, praying for
1. our connecting activities;
2. Each other who gather together throughout the week;
3. Our growth in the Lord;
4. Our care ministries which seek to meet both spiritual and material need throughout Dapto, Australia and around the world.

It was an enormous encouragement to see so many people come along, but also to know that many more were praying throughout the week in their Growth Groups, prayer triplets, and by themselves.

Prayer is such an important part of what we do for it expresses our fundamental dependence upon the Lord who works in and through His people.

Here are two simple ways to help you be a praying person:
1. Meet up with a trusted friend for the purpose of praying for each other.
2. Read a psalm every day, using it as the beginning of a time of personal prayer.

Prayer is the most basic expression of our trust in God and our desire to live according to His pleasure and purpose.

Assistant Pastor
