England are playing the USA on their opening World Cup game next week and I predict a 2-1 victory to England! It'll be a tough game but I think we have what it takes (even without Beckham). But seriously whoever wins our church is hoping to see a victory in building bridges and reaching our local community. A few months ago I posted a blog about a World Cup Family Funday we were praying to run. I'm happy to say that all the money, help and almost all the volunteers we needed to run the day have been provided. God has brought us help though More Than Gold, the Mustard Seed Foundation, Transform Newham, and even Barclay's bank. Even our promotion of the even has been really blessed. The other day we had free advertising on BBC News. No one knows how they heard about it but we're glad they did.
"Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you!" 2Thessalonians 3:1
They think it's all over... Well it isn't yet! There is still a loads more to do. Please pray with us:
- Praise God - for all the answers to prayer and miracles so far.
- Leaflet distribution - please pray we get the rest of the leaflets out.
- 1000 people - please pray in faith with us that we can reach 1000 people through the day.
- More teams - pray that we get more teams for the five-a-side tournament.
- Table talkers - For the people who will be sitting round the tables at the BBQ meeting and greeting people and talking about life and faith.
- Volunteers - please pray the final volunteers are found.
- Safety - please pray for our team of security so that the whole day goes without any issues.
- All the rest - All the little things that need to get sorted by the day that are too numerous to mention.
- God's glory - that He would be put first in everything on the day!

Your table talkers are really important. Just hanging out, and chatting up with folks. They are key people, and valuable as they wait around for to chat with whoever shows up.
