Monthly 24hr Prayer Meetings
Produces God Results.
Christian Churches in Brent gather on the 3rd Friday of every month
for 24 hours of prayer for Brent and London.
Participating churches are testifying of the good changes they are
seeing in their congregations and the community.
Some Comments:
Pastor B: “The 24hr prayer has released something fresh in
our centre. People come in freely to drink from this freshness.
We now run a youth club, free lunch club, a mothers and toddle and
English as second language course. There are more projects in the
pipeline. We are making some good friends and building trust in
Stonebridge.”
Pastor IB: “We have seen our congregation
grow in number. Not only have our members come to love prayer, we
have seen people just walk into our sanctuary wanting to know more
about Jesus. Prayer works. The spiritual atmosphere in our area
has changed. The response to our community barbecue & concert
was overwhelming. The community turned up in their numbers. We are
loving this and will not stop praying for our community.”
Pastor L: “People walk in here, receive
healing through prayer and go to tell their friends. Someone walked
in the other day and said: ‘I hear there is a healer here’.
‘Of course there is’ was my reply. Jesus is the healer
and He never fails. Thanks to the 24hour prayer. Not only do we
preach the Gospel, we demonstrate it.
Youth Ministers Join Forces To Bring God’s
Goodness
After a series of exploratory and planning meetings,
several youth ministers from churches in the Stonebridge, Harlesden
and Willesden areas decided to pull their resources together to
launch youth projects in the community. In the late 90s, this area
was known as the murder capital of Europe. The church has been key
in throwing this reputation overboard. The Christian churches have
more youth clubs than any other group including the Council. This
plan to work together is bound to unleash the great force of goodness
and hope on our community. Watch this space for more.

Church Service In Paradise
The
Junior Church in Joy House is catching on with church outside the
4 walls. Sunday 20th July – Anointed Youth and Power Kids
decide to have their service at Paradise Wildlife Safari Park in
Hertfordshire (1.5 hours by coach). They have their Praise &
Worship, Prayers and Word amongst the lions, tigers exotic birds
etc. They come back so full of praise and awe at the mighty hand
of God. They testify of the favour of God on them for the day, the
friends they made and miracles of healing. A painful ear pops open
after prayer; an ear infection is healed after prayer. ‘T’
(10) joyfully demonstrates how he could run, jump and play perfectly
in spite of the fact that a specialist doctor had said he would
not walk properly again after a serious accident.

God’s Miraculous
Hand at Work
•
P is overwhelmed with despair as she receives information that her
elderly father is seriously ill in Zambia and may not survive. She
had not seen her father for some years and was desperate to see
him. However she had difficulty travelling out of the U.K. as her
application for regularisation of stay was still with the Home Office.
Things were made worse when the Home Office refused her application.
The Church offered prayer and encouragement. Well, God showed up.
She appealed against the Home Office decision and won. Her Dad did
not die but made a remarkable recovery. Her Dad and Mum, out of
character, made the long journey from Zambia to London to visit
her. She now has her indefinite visa; her Dad fully recovered; Dad
here in London. She did not need to travel. All this in the space
of 6 months.
• ‘A’s high court case was so
difficult that her lawyers had given her no hope. ‘A’
had quoted Mark 10:27 “that with man it may be impossible
but with God, all things are possible.” You guessed right.
‘A’ won the case. The experienced barrister was deeply
moved at the unusual judgement. The barrister needed a cigarette
and disclosed that when she woke up that morning, she clearly heard
the word UNUSUAL and did not know where it had come from. Now she
knows it is about this case and that voice could have been God’s
voice The solicitor could only say: “Your God is God”
and asked for prayer.
• A few years ago ‘P’ had come
into ownership of a large piece of Land (10 plots) in a good location
in the city of Accra, Ghana. There was litigation on the land and
he lost this land and had forgotten about it. He had moved on and
is now living in London. A prophetic word of ‘restoration’
was released in church. ‘P’ holds on to this word but
did not even think about the lost land. Well, God does not forget
like man. Out of the blue, he receives a restoration letter for
the land in a better location than before. The land has been restored
but since the old one had been built on, he has been given a new
one of much greater value in a better location in the city.
• “I wronged and abandoned my children
at a desperate time in my life,” says ‘AC’. “When
Jesus found and restored me, my prayer was that He would restore
my family back to me. They hated me for what I did. Jesus never
fails. My children are restored to me. They love me and I love them
and we can’t have enough of each other. Thank you, Jesus.”
• L says: “ When I was diagnosed with
breast cancer, the spirit of death shouted at me telling me I was
going to die. After prayer and counselling from my pastors, I knew
deep inside me that death was not my portion. Jesus has paid the
price of death for my life. I started attacking this foul spirit.
My doctors were amazed at my response to treatment and recovery
rate. They diagnosed a failed kidney. God restored that kidney to
perfection. I know without a doubt that I am completely free from
cancer. I have no pain and I am very strong. I am now just waiting
for an appointment with my consultant to document this miracle after
all their tests. Thank you Jesus that you heal ALL diseases including
cancer and kidney failure.”

Helping Hands Volunteers
Get Thumbs Up
Our
volunteers are much sought after all over Brent. The usual comment
about our volunteers is ‘they love what they do’. Of
course they do. They are agents of God’s goodness. Apart from
the work we do independently as a church, we have teamed up with
Brent Mind (mental illness), Age Concern (for the elderly) and Brent
Autism (help autistic families). Each week our volunteers are bringing
smiles on the faces of some wonderful people who deserve it. 84
year old Mrs W says to a volunteer “I look forward to our
conversation each week. They cheer me up greatly”. J, one
of our volunteers, has been called the best shop window designer
at the Age Concern shop in Harlesden.

Kilburn Breaking
“Kilburn
is breaking.” This is official from our street evangelists.
Kilburn has been a spiritually heavy place. This simply means that
the atmosphere is not relaxed and friendly. Though there is a lot
of activity, there is very little to genuinely smile about. United
Evangelism in Brent has risen to the task of bringing some cheer
on the streets of Kilburn and Cricklewood. They have joined with
churches from these areas to go on the streets. They bring the Word
of God, heal the sick and bring cheer to the people. They have noticed
some joy returning to beautiful Kilburn and Cricklewood. The churches
in the area have committed to changing the atmosphere completely.
United Evangelism is committed to working with them.
