A thought about prayer and our mission .
What we do...
Point to the Lord
Jesus, with Bibles
open, in the
power of the Holy
Spirit
The results we
look for...
Loving fellowships
of committed
believers,
worshipping God
together, seeking
to reconcile
people to Christ,
to mature them in
Him, to involve
them in service to
one another and
the world.
I remember once being asked what I thought was something that was key to
being on mission in my home, family, workplace and community. The
answer was the same for each, PRAYER. If prayer is not a key to a Christian
life on mission to those around them, then the focus has shifted and it
reflects our desire to be in control of the situation. This means I will focus on
having a perfectly constructed argument for all occasions and if not, then I
will find one. Instead what we need to do is come before our great God and
pray for miracles, open ears and open hearts. This is handing over control of
the situation to God. This may sound scary for some, but this is the way God
wants it to be and how it is meant to be, so we need to let God be God.
So here are 3 things that we can be doing together as we make prayer key
not only for mission but for our life in Christ:
1. Get together with people to pray about life, church, being on
mission and asking big things from God. And doing this regularly.
2. Pray with people whenever or wherever, don't put it off. It is by
far more encouraging to have someone pray for you there and then, that
say they'll pray for you later (especially if you are prone to forget).
3. Offer to bring prayer needs to our Christian community.
A helpful way forward: when unbelievers talk of problems, we will say things
like:
‘Would you like me to pray with you?’; ‘I’ll ask my church to pray about that’
We can also ask people a follow-up question: ‘We’ve been praying for you;
what’s the news?’
I hope you find this encouraging. In Christ, Jai McMordie
Prayer
The Collect Lord, give your people grace to withstand the temptations of the
world, the flesh, and the devil, and with pure hearts and minds to follow you
the only God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Diocesan Prayer Almighty God, we call upon you for such an outpouring of
your Holy Spirit upon us, that we as your people may be assured of your love
through your word, seek to please the Saviour in all things, manifest the godly
life and be filled with prayerful and sacrificial compassion for the lost in the
entire world. In the name of our Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen

Last CMS meeting held on the 6th November
This is the last meeting of the CMS Illawarra Mission Connection
for the year.
The year has gone very quickly, but it has given us good
opportunities for meeting with missionaries who are about to go on the
mission field, or who are already serving God cross culturally in various parts of
the world.
Thank you for your support in encouraging churches to look outside of their
ministries to the wider mission field.
CMS missionaries are thankful for, and depend on the support and
encouragement from people at home.
For your information and prayer support
Prepare for ASCC’s car boot sale!
Wendy Wilcox (well-known to many of us) has gone to South Sudan (she left
Australia on 1/10) to volunteer as a nurse at a hospital that is run by a mission
organisation. The hospital caters for women and children and is located in the
small southern city of Yei. The purpose of the hospital is to provide medical
support to women and children in South Sudan to reduce morbidity and
mortality, especially around childbirth and the early life of the infant. The staff
working at the hospital do all of this being compelled by the love of Christ and
wanting to share this in their action as well as words.
She has set up a blog so that you can keep in up to date with her life, work and
be encouraged to pray for her over the next 2.5 months.
The blog address is salaamfromyei.wordpress.com
Saturday 29th November
All Saints' Community Care is planning a car boot sale again this year in the
church car park.
Now is a good time to start looking around for those bits and pieces cluttering
up your garage or spare room, and setting them aside to go out at the car boot
sale.
More details will be available closer to the date.

Safe Ministry Training
Saturday the 25th October
8:30am-1pm
I will be conducting Safe Ministry training Part A and B for Parishioners of All
Saints. If you are someone that assists with children’s ministries at All Saints,
whether that be in a teaching or supervision role, you should make an effort to
be there. I understand this is a Saturday and a large commitment so thank you
for taking the time to ensure All Saints is a safe environment for our children.
