Postcard from Dongara

Hi prayer partners,

Thanks again for your partnership in prayer for the Lord’s work in Dongara and Mingenew.
We’re back from holidays and straight into all sorts of opportunities to love Jesus and our community. A few things we’re looking forward to in 2008 include:

• the birth of our third child in July (Tyler and Penny’s second due
in May)
• HOLIDAYFEST mission in April school holidays
(a team from St. Matt’s 5pm service will be helping us)
• beginning a refined ALPHA course after mission

Yours in Christ,

Matt and Corinne Malcolm (and Kate and Sam!)

Give thanks and praise:

• For Corinne and Penny’s pregnancies
• For the new couples, families and other faithful folk at Dongara church – who continue to be a great encouragement in their desire to grow in Christ
• For the faithful few at Mingenew church (services now twice a month)
• For Tyler, Penny and Elijah Swartzentruber – who continue to be a great support and encouragement to us
• For Corinne and Penny making great contacts with young mums through
playgroup
• For Mark’s enthusiasm to get to know and understand Jesus in the
Bible (meeting with Matt each week to read the Bible)
• That family life is lots of fun in the Malcolm household (mainly due
to kid’s sleeping well)

Please ask God:

• That we might be faithful to Jesus and to his gospel truth
• That the little ones forming in Corinne and Penny’s wombs would be
healthy and safe – and that they might know the Lord Jesus and as they grow up
• For help by God’s Spirit to share our lives and his gospel with our community
• For Mark – that he might come to know Jesus as Lord and Saviour
• For HOLIDAYFEST – that many would come and be interested enough to join APLHA
• For the ALPHA course (running on Tues nights in term 2) that people
might become Christian – from in the church and outside it
• For good habits of Bible reading and prayer together as a family and
individually for Matt and Corinne – that Kate and Sam might grow up to know and love Jesus
• For perseverance with the faithful few at Mingenew church
• That the new couples and families at Dongara church might be regular
in attendance and might grow in the truth of the Lord Jesus
• For wisdom and faithfulness as Matt visits the elderly and those with pastoral issues
• For help in our continued meeting of people from the community, that we might be a light among the darkness
• For strength and faithfulness in Tyler as he continues to serve at Geraldton Grammar School
• For faithfulness and perseverance as Matt teaches SRE (Scripture) at Dongara and Mingenew Primary Schools
