For
Your
Prayers
The BU Prayer Guide says:
As the ’40 Days of Home Mission’ draws
to an end, give thanks for Home Mission
funding which enables churches to make
Jesus known around our Union and
beyond. www.baptist.org.uk/40days
BMS World Mission:
Chad remains one of the most hostile
environments where BMS works.
Experiencing desert conditions, searing
heat, some of the world’s worst maternal
and child mortality figures, and wracked
by political division and grinding poverty,
Chad is not an easy mission placement.
In spite of this, a small team of mission
workers oversee the work of Guinebor II
Hospital (G2), which continues to provide
both life-giving witness to its Islamic
community and life-saving medical care
to the people of Chad. Pray for BMS
mission workers Malc and Sue White.
Sue is a nurse mentor and Malc works as
the hospital’s Chief Operating Officer.
The YBA Prayer Calendar asks prayers
for Darnall Road Baptist Church,
Sheffield South Yorkshire and Dayspring
Church, Garforth Leeds.
The Ark (Reported in The Baptist Times
A retelling of the biblical story of Noah
will air in a primetime BBC slot this
Easter.
The Ark, a one-off special written by
Tony Jordan (Hustle, The Nativity) will air
on BBC1 at 8.30 pm on Monday 30th
March. Written and produced over a
period of three years, The Ark is Jordan’s
unique insight into the story of Noah and
his family, a story that is found in Jewish,
Christian and Muslim scriptures.
Thoughts on Holy Week
As we go forward into Holy Week we
remember Jesus upturning the tables of
the money lenders in the temple.
A prayer from Rev Phil Jump, Regional
Minister Team Leader of the North
Western Baptist Association
Jesus Christ, ruler of all things,
You invite us to pray for your Kingdom's
coming;
Your heavenly will to be done here on
earth.
Forgive us if we seek your presence
Only for our own comfort and ease;
Refusing to be disturbed
By the challenge of your Gospel.
Overturn the tables of our self-interest;
Scatter to the floor the wares of empty
religion.
Release us from them and grant us
courage to follow you,
Through the realities of our own world,
On that precarious road which leads to
Calvary.
AMEN
Its stars include David Threlfall
(Shameless, Master and Commander) as
Noah and Joanne Whalley (Wolf Hall,
Scandal) as his wife.

When BBC1 screened Tony Jordan’s
drama Nativity in 2010 it was watched by
over five million viewers and garnered
some of the best feedback the BBC has
ever received for a popular drama.
Like Nativity, this film focuses on the
human aspects of the narrative. It’s a
powerful, moving film that not only retells
the story for a new generation, but also
raises contemporary questions of family
loyalty, self-doubt, and what it means to
live as a person of faith in a world that
doesn’t believe.
