JANUARY 2010
God’s timing
The eight years in getting the bus may seemed to have
whizzed past, but the last eighty days since the bus has
been on the road has seemed to have gone so slowly!
Modern life demands us to have things done yesterday.
But looking at the history of God’s people gives us some
perspective – the ark, with only a few lads, must have
taken a while to build, 40 years in the wilderness must
have seemed a long time and “with the Lord a day is like a
1000 years and a 1000 years are like a day”. We, as a
project and as individuals, need to be reminded of God’s
perfect timing and sovereignty in all things. A project is in
its early stages of development, needs to be patient and
seek God’s timing, building solid foundations.
Points for praise and thanks to God
- Charlotte Doddrell, despite the
cold, has finished her Stairwell
art work and it looks great.
- Our initial church tour has
resulted in a possible 40
people volunteering to help
staff the bus in the near future.
- Wrangle churches, Fishtoft
Church, Boston Baptist,
Friskney Church, Kirton
churches and Frieston Church
have shown an interest in
starting bus teams. The Baptist Church and Wrangle
Church, and Friskney Church have started their training.
- Supporters are currently donating regularly 56 tickets a
month (target by September this year is 100 per month)
and we have received 87% of funds needed for our first 3
years and have received many wonderful donations large
and small from generous supporters.
Prayer requests
•
Pray for the young people we will meet this year in
schools and on the road. For wisdom to earn their
respect and find appropriate ways to minister to
each young person.
•
For Boston Baptist (South Boston), Wrangle,
Fishtoft and Friskney as they start their bus team
training.
•
For the first visits in February in South Boston and
Wrangle.
•
For 2010 that we are able to support 5 local
schools by the end of this year and have 5 bus
teams up and running by Easter.
•
The bus has been in sub-zero temperatures for
over a month now and has struggled with
excessive condensation. Pray that we might find a
garage to accommodate the bus in future years
temporarily when the weather is really bad.
•
Pray for Directors of LYM as they seek to serve the
local churches in our area.
•
Pray for our Steering Group as their role changes
from building a bus, to running a bus ministry.
