Hello everyone!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We've made it to day THREE and hit the midpoint of the week! Thank you again for your support so far. Today we have our second lunchbar with Stephen speaking on 'Coming Home: Finding Belonging'. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For today, please pray:</div>
<div>- For our first contact evangelism! We've included a picture of the blackboard we have up on campus this week encouraging people to think about what 'home' is to them. Please pray that people would stop and engage and that God would be working through
the conversations had and that the CU members would be pointing people towards Jesus.</div>
<div>- For our lunchbar today, that Stephen would speak sensitively on the topic of belonging and that those who come would feel welcomed. Pray that those currently struggling with a sense of not belonging would find a comfort and a peace in the teaching that
they are yet to find elsewhere.</div>
<div>- For Stephen as he prepares this second talk.<br>
</div>
<div>- For boldness for those inviting friends to events today and later this week, and for those being invited that they might be receptive and convicted to come along.</div>
<div>
<div>- For one of our CUGs as they meet up to chat through some more difficult questions of Christianity with a girl who came to the lunchbar yesterday. Pray for wisdom in answering questions sensitively and lovingly without obscuring any of God's word.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are also enjoying seeing the fruits of God's work only two days in and have some great encouragements to share with you!</div>
<div>Praise God:</div>
<div>- For the friend of a CU member who came to the lunchbar yesterday off the back of another event, and found it provoked deep questions on faith, truth and the benefits of trusting in Jesus. Please pray that we lovingly and sensitively work through their
questions with them and that they might come to know Jesus.</div>
<div>- For a full room in the lunchbar today (pic included)! Thank God for everyone who came along and stayed for the Q&A and to chat through the talk.</div>
<div>- For the amazing space we have available for the lunchbars this year! Praise God for his wonderful provision (a true answer to prayer) that we have this space where we can welcome people to stay and chat and offer them free tea, coffee, cake, and lunch!
Pray that people would be making the most of this with their friends and that good conversations may be happening as a result.</div>
<div>- Another fab prayer breakfast this morning. Pray that it may continue as people begin to grow weary.</div>
<div>- For the evening talk on suffering by John Wyatt. Praise God for a great turn-out, pray that John may have been sensitive to those hurting and that they may have found comfort in his teaching. Pray that they may seek Jesus in their suffering and that
God would be drawing close to them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are endlessly grateful for your support and hope that you, like us, find joy and encouragement in the answers to prayer we have seen so far! </div>

</div>
<div>In Christ,</div>
