Friendly Word
8 February 2015
When you come on Sunday
morning (8 February) you’ll hear
the story of Mike and Dani Potter
and their long-term relationship with
Kenya. They lived in Kenya for 13
years before returning to Australia to
continue their service in Christian
education.
As Principal of Tyndale Christian
School, Mike oversees a mission
programme that involves regular
student and staff visits to Kenya.
The school has a particular
relationship with an orphanage in
Kenya. More than 200 students
have worked as volunteers there on
short term mission.
10am service

Kids Programs: parents/caregivers
can sign up children on sheet in
foyer.
Refreshments served at conclusion
of service in ‘Pavilion”
GLOBALLY:
Praise God for 200 years of the
Bible in New Zealand. On 25th
December 1814, at the invitation of Maori
Chief Ruatara, Reverend Samuel
Jackson preached from Luke 2:10,
"Don`t be afraid! I bring you good news
that will bring great joy to all people."
Please pray for the teachers & students
of a secret Bible school in South East
Asia. They continue to meet & study all
over the country, despite constant
monitoring & visits from authorities. Pray
for the Lord to bless their faith.
The destruction in Gaza has cut deep
scars in people`s emotions, relationships
&, in some cases, their faith. Please pray
for healing & restoration of relationships
& those who are active in the field of
reconciliation.
LOCALLY:
Please uphold the politicians
of our nation as they make
decisions about our States, Territories
and Country. That our politicians show
respect and unity as they govern
Australia and its people.
How do you learn?
Some are visual people—some are aural—
some learn by rote—we are all different.
Something I learned as a child and I still
remember is to THINK. No not just to
exercise the power of reason, to ponder, to
judge etc (although that does help!)
T.H.I.N.K. it is an acrostic—which you
probably have seen around. I hope I am not
the only one who needs reminding. I still
find these little prompters helpful. Not just
for electronic use but the old fashioned
way as well. Weighing up before I speak
and analysing is it True, helpful, Inspiring,
Necessary and Kind will assist me to keep
my lips tight when I need and enables the
focus to be turned back to the people
around me. Hope this help you this week
also.

So then, while we have opportunity, let

faith. – Galations 6:10
FAMILY:

serious health issues; for those who

We ask for peace, perseverance and
healing.
For those grieving we offer our sympathy

“When I pray for another person, I am
praying for God to open my eyes so that I
can see that person as God does, and
then enter into the stream of love that
God already directs toward that person.”
