Over the last three years we at the Gwent Baptist Association have had a focus upon praying together and seeking the Lord for his blessing and favour in various ways, writes the Revd. Jonathan Forman of Blaenau Gwent Baptist Church, Abertillery.

The first year was the year of prayer that the Baptist Union of Wales initiated and we took up in the Association.  After this we felt the Lord leading us to a further two years of prayer where we have used the resource, Pray without ceasing, the different Lent and Advent journals and other prayer initiatives with which we have been able to link.  This has been a great blessing and we trust many of you have seen the fruit of this focus in your own churches. 

As we come to the end of this latest two years of prayer we want to invite you to join with us in 10 days of prayer. Promoted on the 18th of May on Ascension Day with a meeting at Tabernacle, Newbridge, we shall also be holding our final 24hr prayer event on the life of Paul on the 23rd-24th of May and we will be concluding the 10 days on Pentecost Sunday with a simple resource to use in your Sunday service(s).

The flyer outlines the different events coming up and we plan to send out a couple of prayer pointers to keep us connected. 

Thank you to all who have joined us in the journey of prayer over the last few years and we look forward to how the Lord will lead us as a community of churches in the coming years. 

God bless you all and we look forward to seeking the Lord alongside you between the 18th and 28th of May.
