Prayer & Praise

Pray that the Lord would heal Jim Baker of all his cancer and other illnesses, and restore the strength of his youth. Please pray that our churchs neighbours would be favourable to having the proposed Child Care operating in our facility Pray for the Catalyst ministry to university students in Paris. Tim and Rachel Meier are asking the Lord for another location where this group can meet. They have outgrown their facilities and need a strategic place that is accessible to students and will encourage the growth of this ministry. Pray for a team from Tokyo Alliance churches that will minister with Harry and Jane Landaw to those in the area where the tsunami destroyed homes and churches in northern Japan. Pray for hearts to be prepared to receive the love of Jesus. Are you new to this facility? We know that it can take a lot of energy to attend a new church, so please note that:

WHAC AGM
If you understand that acronym, you should probably go to it, but even if you dont, the churchs Annual General Meeting is an important part of our annual calendar, and everybody is encouraged to attend. Matters to be discussed include a proposed new By-Law, this years budget, and the strategy for growth at WHAC. It really is important for all to come for our 7:00 start in the church.

A financial Update
The numbers are in, and it is wonderful to report that despite having started the year with a $7,000 deficit budget, we ended the year with close to a $12,000 surplus! Wow! Praise the Lord and good for you! As you know, we dont give to a budget, or even to the church, we give to God as an expression of love and worship, and with a 41% increase over our previous financial year, I truly trust that the Lord has been honoured in that!
