Praying For Laos

by Colin Dexter

The human rights situation in Laos is poor, with all religious activity heavily monitored and restricted at both the local and national levels of government. 

The government is also not consistent in how it administers the freedoms it provides to those groups who are officially registered. 

For example, in February 2024 a church building was destroyed in Kaleum Vangke village on the orders of one of the village elders despite the fact the government had granted the Protestant group the right to gather.

We can respond by praying, in faith, knowing that it can and will make a difference.

FREE BOOK LUKE & ACTS

by Colin Dexter

Have you ever wondered what’s in the Bible? Have you wanted to read it but found the number of books in and its size just too daunting.? We are offering a free book which contains the books of LUKE and ACTS . The format makes the books very readable.

LUKE & ACTS were both written by Dr Luke . Like Doctors of today he would have used his skills in history taking, observations and record keeping as he presented his findings to a man called Theophilus and to the many billions of people who have since read these two books.

Please feel able to use the contact form and request your copy.

Seven National Calls to Prayer in World War II

by Colin Dexter

The first National Day of Prayer was called for by King George VI on March 27th, 1940. The miracle
took place during the week following. Most people have heard how the English Channel was
absolutely calm all the days during which thousands of private boats and yachts, including my
father-in-law’s boat, went to and fro rescuing from the sands of Dunkirk 338,000 men of the British
Expeditionary Army, leaving only 12,000 sadly to become prisoners or killed.

The second Day of Prayer was on Sunday, August 11th, 1940. This was a national youth call to
prayer. The King had called all the young people to pray. I was walking past a large area of tennis
courts on the way to church. The tennis courts were deserted except for a perplexed young man
holding a tennis racket. He was completely alone.

The next national Day of Prayer was only a month later on September 8th, 1940. Calling for another
Day of Prayer so soon showed how desperate Parliament knew the situation to be.

The next National Day of Prayer was only six months later. It was called by
King and parliament for March 23rd, 1941. The guidance of God must have been evident, for we did
not know at the time that this was Hitler’s next date for invading Britain

The fifth National Day of Prayer was on September 3rd, 1942. It was the third anniversary of the
outbreak of war. The very next day at Palermo in the Mediterranean, the whole Italian fleet was
sunk. Very significantly, the next month in the North African desert, the Eighth Army under General
Montgomery saved Egypt (and therefore Israel) from being invaded by Hitler’s powerful tank
commander Rommel.

The sixth National Day of Prayer was held on September 3rd, 1943. It was a weekday, chosen at the
time because it was the fourth anniversary of the outbreak of war. Italy surrendered to the allies
that very night, and the dictator Mussolini was murdered.

. In the spring of 1944, the seventh and last Day of Prayer was called by the King.
