Report from Prayer time in March 2009
As a church we spent 24hrs in prayer and fasting from 8:00pm on March the 28^th to 8:00pm on March 29^th. Everyone fasted for the whole 24hrs and also signed up to give an hour or two in prayer in the church building.

We set out a number of different stations around the church to help people focus their prayer. Most people found that one hour was not long enough and several people stayed for 3 to 4 hours praying.

Below are some of the comments that people wrote as they responded to God.

Oh Lord My God

How can I ever thank you for what you did for me on that cross?

You bled and died that I might live and have eternal life.

You removed my sin as far as from the east is from the west and remembered them no more.

You are my Saviour Redeemer Lord my life, light of the world, magnificent, wonderful, amazing ‘Jesus’

Thank you Lord

Thank you that you meet all my needs

I pray that you will meet the needs of all your faithful people also to those who don’t know you but cry out for someone to help them and those who don’t ask I intercede for them.

Eph 3:14-12 the love of Christ.

Bread, a staple food that is a good foundation on which other things can be added, right for breakfast, right for lunch, right for dinner and supper, right for a snack. So is the Word of God

John 6:51 (NIV) I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Jeremiah 20:13 (NIV)

Sing to the LORD!

Give praise to the LORD!

He rescues the life of the needy

from the hands of the wicked.

I love you Lord Provider of all things

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand and it gives light to those in the house. Jesus Christ the gospel according to Matthew 5:14

Deuteronomy 11:13-15 (NIV)

From now on if you listen obediently to the commandments that I am commanding you today, love God, your God and serve him with everything you have within you, he will take charge of sending the rain at the right time, both autumn and spring rains, so that you’ll be able to harvest your grain, your grapes, and your olives. He will make sure there is plenty of grass for your animals. You’ll have plenty to eat.

Colossians 3:16 (NIV)

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
