Natania's Prayer Points‚

Pray for Natania and the whole church as they grieve the loss of a young member of the choir in a tragic motorbike accident last week. Pray that God would use this to draw other people to himself.
Pray for her teaching schedule, she teaches English to all ages from young children to adults and needs to be creative in her presentation.

BRAZIL (taken from the Overseas PCI Prayerline)
This year, the number of children coming to the Christian Centre of Help for the Family (CCHF) has increased and they now have 80 pre schoolers (2 - 5 year olds), around 100 at the homework club (6 - 12 year olds) and 19 teenagers.
Give thanks for the increasing numbers of children coming to the CCHF.
Pray for all who attend the CCHF and for the staff who work there, including Naomi Keefe.
Pray too for family visits over the Easter period, when staff hope to share the
Good News of Easter to the families connected with the CCHF.
