Prayer Week 2019

The prayer week is planned for Saturday 11th May and Monday-Saturday 13th-18th May. Location, as last year, is the Sandhaven Holiday Park at South Shields, near Marine Park. Address is Bents Park Rd, South Shields, NE33 2NL

Please join us for prayer anytime between 9am and 9pm.

All of you that have visited this website over the past few years, will have noticed that there has been a short comment on one of the Psalms every week. Having recently reached 150 the plan is to move on to something a bit different for the next few weeks. The team hope and pray that you enjoyed those contributions, and will be encouraged by what comes next.

Plans are well progressed towards the Summer activities, so your prayers are sought as the Trustees meet in the caravan on the Friday just before the Prayer week. May God speak and lead GOI forward in extending His kingdom over the coming weeks and months.

Any questions you would like addressed at this Trustees meeting, please email to info@goi.org.uk by 8th May 2019
