Prayer notes from Friday 20 June 2025

​

Pray for the Sunday services. The service in KILWINNING is to be taken by C McPherson and in AYR the morning

service is to be taken by A Cowie and the evening service by P Barrow.

​

 

· Give thanks for the, for us in Ayr, huge turnout for the Sunday morning service last week. They were not all

relatives of the preacher, there were a number of other visitors too! For a small congregation it is such an encouragement to see the church so full. Please pray that we will benefit from visitors in the coming weeks as well.

​

 

· Continue to pray for the young people in Kilwinning, Lucas, Murray, Francesca and Gabriella as they will

be going to Free Church camps during the summer.

​

 

· Give thanks for the encouraging number at the prayer meeting in Ayr this week. James M spoke at this meeting

on the parable of the prodigal son and included some of his own testimony. It was good that a couple of James

friends were at this meeting. Please do remember James in your prayers.

​

 

· Nader P asks prayer for the safety of his family in Iran. He mentions that the internet has been cut off.

This is a very worrying time for the people in Iran and obviously concerning for their families in other parts

of the world.

​

 

· Please continue to pray for those in care homes – Isobel S, May K and Irene B also those suffering from physical

and mental health issues as well as those with addictions.

​

 

· Free Church Youth Camps Please pray for the Free Church Youth Camps as they prepare for the camps programme beginning shortly. Give thanks for the leaders, volunteers, and young people who will be attending.

Pray that the camps would be a place of gospel transformation, joy, and that friendships would be formed.

Pray that the Lord would bless all practical preparations.

​

 

· SU Scotland The first SU Holiday starts on Saturday 28th June, and we are hugely grateful to God for giving

us so many quality volunteers. Pray that God will empower and equip them as Team Leaders,

Assistant Team Leaders, Group Leaders, Chief Cooks, Assistant Cooks, Minibus Drivers, Travel Leaders and Trainee Leaders. Ask God to supply any volunteers still needed.

​

 

· CARE, ARMED FORCES’ DAY Sat 28th June Give thanks for those who defend our country and its interests,

working across the world promoting peace, delivering aid, tackling drug smugglers, providing security and fighting terrorism. Ask God to watch over these sailors, soldiers and airmen and grant them wisdom and courage.

​

 

Dumisani

· Give thanks to the Lord for the blessings from the Tiyo Soga Conference held at Dumisani in the Eastern Cape,

SA, in June, with 75 participants and for the four speakers who spoke. The new edition of Soga's Xhosa translation

of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress was launched in the Eastern Cape and sold out at the conference.

​

 

· Pray for Dumisani as plans are being made for it to be a distribution centre for the new Soga translation.

May much spiritual good come through this book as it enters new homes for a new generation across the

Eastern Cape.

​

 

Free Churches

Greenock

· Please pray for the weekly informal Bible study and time of prayer on a Wednesday morning. Please pray that

this time would be of great encouragement and fellowship to those who attend.

 

· Pray for the believers gathering in Greenock, pray for spiritual growth, faithful witness in the community, and encouragement for those serving faithfully week by week.

​

 

Rogart

· Please pray for this rural congregation currently without a minister. Ask the Lord to sustain them

in faith and unity.
