Pray for believers \n to humbly and lovingly represent Christ despite the pervasive stigma \n against Christians. \n • Pray for churches in NSW who have been hit with confusing rules \n about singing and meeting. Many pastors and staf at churches are \n tired from making arrangements to meet regulations and following \n up those who are struggling. Pray for patience and wisdom for church \n leaders. \n • Pray for Josh Montzka and Power to Change in Melbourne. Pray God \n would encourage Josh as he faced some disappointments recently. \n Praise God for providing for Josh with his new place to live and the \n fact he can still participate in church in person. Pray God uses Josh’s \n eforts to reach many people for Christ online. \n • Pray for Australians to be humbled: Psalm 107:39 says, “When they \n are diminished and brought low through oppression, evil, and sorrow, \n he pours contempt on princes and makes them wander in trackless \n wastes; but He raises up the needy out of afiction.” Pray that we as \n Australians (including Christians!) would be humbled and realise our \n need for God and God would have mercy on our land.","bbox":{"left":0.040337,"top":0.285189,"width":0.406773,"height":0.509594}},{"text":"What’s Happening? \n Focus for July – Commitment \n How do we show our commitment to one another in the midst of a pan- \n demic?
