5th week opportunities

Hello. Please pray for 3 big opportunities this week:

1) Da Vinci Code - students are talking about this in their masses and there is an urgent need for Christians to be setting forth the truth plainly. As part of our Big Issues talks on a Friday lunchtime, we have Richard Brewster speaking on "What they didn't want you to know" this Friday at 1pm. Please pray for lots of non-Christians to be there and for the gospel to be explained clearly.

2) Rowing - this week is Eights - the intercollegiate rowing tournament. Lots of people head down to the river this coming Saturday to watch, and some of us will be doing some questionnaires and giving out doughnuts. Please pray for good weather and good conversations that are full of grace and seasoned with salt. Pray for boldness and courage, and for more Christians to sign up.

3) Barbeque - this Sunday is our annual BBQ. Please pray for good weather and enough volunteers to make everything happen. Andy Robinson from Woodstock Road Baptist is giving a talk - please include him in your prayers too.

Thanks for prayers for the pub quiz - it went very well!

Updates

Very sorry for lack of updates over the last few weeks. Things have been very busy. Let me fill you in on a few things to be thankful for and a few prayer points:

- Prayer meetings are still really encouraging, still being well attended and are happening in Oxford colleges too. Pray for a continued reliance on God in our evangelism and daily lives.

- Friday lunchtime Big Issues talks have been great so far this term, with the gospel explained clearly and faithfully. Please pray that more non-Christians would come to these, it's great that Christians are coming to help them answer their friends questions, but it would be even better if all of us would be bold and invite our friends along.

- College groups have started well. Give thanks for a series of evangelism training seminars that happened last Wednesday, and pray for a Contagious Christian course that our UCCF staffworker is running over the next few weeks. The course will help people to communicate their faith in a style that fits them.

- Please pray for our pub quiz, Friday 19th May. Tim Guest is giving a short talk. Pray for tickets to continue to sell.

Thanks again for your prayers.
