Prayer & Fasting Day
On Monday 7 April we invite you to fast and pray with us. If you are able, we encourage you to come to the prayer hub at South Perth (book in using the link below to let us know you're coming)
This months focus is: Seeking God for more labourers for the harvest
Respond to what Jesus asked us to do in Matt 9:37 to pray for more workers to be involved in the Kingdom harvest. How often do you and I pray for this direct request of our Lord? Will you fast a meal, or two or three, or abstain from something?
Can you join with others to pray for this need in the Prayer Hub for a time between 7am-9pm? If not, pray at home with family, or at work or wherever is possible.
Our suburbs in Perth have many who don’t know Jesus. Australia needs to be saved. People need to hear the good news, and so we need to share this gospel of Jesus. Can you bless your colleagues, neighbours and friends with Jesus’s love?
The below verses reflect this theme and so read and meditate on each to see what God may reveal. Read each aloud and put the verse into a prayer applying it to your situation, your family, our church family and its ministries.

| Genesis 8:22 | Acts 16: 9-15 |

Pray for:
- Pray that we would each take the opportunities God gives us to share His story with others. That we would use the B.L.E.S.S. principles to befriend and share the love of Jesus.
- Pray for the B.L.E.S.S. Prayer gathering on 7pm Sunday 13 April and come along.
- Pray for Easter services (Good Friday, Easter Sunday) and that people who don’t normally come will attend, and that they will have an encounter with Jesus.
- Pray for the effectiveness of the church’s outreaches through Lifestreams Community Services (Multicultural services, Life Conversation Circles and with those coming for emergency assistance), along with other programs.
- Pray for more workers to support the startup church plants that Lifestreams is involved in.
- Pray for the Gen Z young adults to engage and find Jesus and workers to reach them.
- Pray for our people to engage in the Prayer Hub on our Mon – Fri 7-8am and 12-1pm corporate rhythms of prayer.
