Testimony - <i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">My
husband and I worship at our local Baptist church and began praying for our
neighbours. We started to invite a neighbour aged 74, who lost his wife a
few months earlier, to supper, approximately twice a month.</span></i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">In February
2013 one Tuesday evening, we expected him to come at 6pm, but that morning
I woke at 6am to sense a picture of our neighbour on the floor.</span></i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I was so concerned in the afternoon, I
phoned him to see if he was OK and remind him of our<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>supper (I didn't mention the
picture). He assured me he was fine and would see us at 6pm. </span></i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> <i><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">When he didn't arrive at
6pm, my husband went to another neighbour who had a house key, to check if
he was alright. After knocking on the door and getting no reply, they let
themselves in, to find our neighbour on the floor. </span></i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 22.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">He was taken by ambulance to
hospital where it was discovered he had had a small stroke and was awaiting
surgery to unblock a neck artery (one artery was 100% blocked and the other 95%
blocked) so the operation was very serious and naturally he was very concerned.</span></i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">Two
days before the appointed surgery, I woke to a sensing of a very large Biblical
angel whose wing tips spanned from our car park across the road to our
neighbour's home and a sensing that all would be well. </span></i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 22.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I told his daughter of these
two Godly events and she asked me to phone her Dad in hospital and tell
him. I phoned him to tell him what had happened assuring him to go to the
theatre calmly, as he was in God's safe hands and all would be well.</span></i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">The
operation was successful and he was home a day later to recover and is now back
to enjoying his life again. This experience has had a massive effect of
strengthening our neighbour's faith! My husband and I have a deeper sense of
thankfulness that God would use us, two very ordinary people, to help our
neighbour!</span></i></span></div>

Halifax is taking place on 18th May and is a family festival organised for the
local community. Last year 10,000 people took part. We were able to share the
vision to pray for streets and quite a number of people were interested. What
was striking at this meeting is how much is going on in Halifax as a whole.
They listed many projects such as Street Angels, youth work, healing on the
street, food drop ins and many more. Halifax used to be a no go area at night
time, but in recent years has been transformed into a much safer place, in
large part due to the work of Street Angels. </span></span></div>

Please give thanks to God for the work of the police, government, youth

preventing domestic violence and of course, all the prayers for our nation!
There is still more to be done, but this is welcome news! </span></span></div>

opportunity to invite your neighbours to events already organised or to
organise an event of your own. We are starting to think about it for our

<i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">We are a small group of Christians in Cookham, Berkshire, from
different local churches, who have known each other and prayed together over
many years. Some of us attended the inspirational event at Wembley last year
and got to hear about the Neighbourhood Prayer Network. We started praying
again for local people and particularly those who perhaps did not get out too
often. After a while, some of the team had a feeling we should invite
some of them to an occasional 'Old English Tea party'. We deliver personalised,
hand-designed invites with suitable scriptures upon them. We then purchased a
lot of old tea sets from that era, hired a small hall, laid it out in a homely
setting with suitable table-wear, and background music of that era, and served
tea, cakes and (triangular) sandwiches and sit folks down in fives and sixes.
Really, after that, they just get on and natter whilst we beetle around in the
background. </span></i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 22.5pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">We've held them about quarterly ever since, and now regularly
get about 30 each time, and have extended invites to include relatives etc. The
team's children and grand-children like to help with serving so it has a
'generational' component which seems to go down well too. At the most recent
one, we decided to include a 'thank you for coming' card, and thought we would
add a line inviting prayer requests if they wished. We had our first request
come in this week! Even better, the prayer was answered! </span></i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span>

consultation on <u>how the church can engage with civic authorities</u>. This
meeting was inspiring and showed how much work the wider church is doing to
address problems locally. There were several presentations showing how
difficult it will be by 2020 for councils to fund many social projects as our
population ages and money declines. This meeting served to remind me, <u>just
how important the role of the church is going to become in meeting our nations
needs</u>. Please consider visiting their website over the coming weeks to find

is in <u>encouraging Christians to find other Christians on their street</u>
and pray together for their streets. Clearly this is something Neighbourhood
Prayer Network fully supports. We encourage you to read this testimony of how
they began and what has happened since and perhaps consider using their model
in your area. We believe that God has been speaking to many of us about the
same vision and this is another part of the jigsaw puzzle of what God is
saying.

Christian neighbours to find each other, eat, sing, pray together and sow a
seed in their area that will grow into a large tree!</span></em><i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> <em><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">Streetprayer began in Edgeway Road,
Oxford, in September 2007. Since then, many new people have joined and in 2010,
we launched Streetprayer across Oxford and about twenty breakfasts were held
around the city. The idea is spreading and Abingdon, a nearby town is the next
place planning to start the project.</span></em></span></i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<em><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">In the beginning, a team of
eight of us called on every household on Edgeway Road, inviting them to a
prayer breakfast. Surprisingly the response was positive from most people, and
on the day, twenty came. We chatted, sang and prayed. Everyone said they'd like
to meet up regularly, so every month, two or three different homes opened their
doors to their street. In a city like Oxford there's a wide choice of
congregation; on our street of about 100 homes there are at least six different
churches represented! </span></em><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<em><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">What has been the fruit of
that initial breakfast? Firstly we've grown to love one another more and more
as neighbours, and we believe that love is spilling out. A core group pray
together every week and have a praise time early every Thursday morning. This
Saturday we're holding an impromptu buffet meal for the street, inviting
various neighbours.</span></em><i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">There have been a great
number of unchurched people coming to events and some joining churches. There
are several stories like when we put our last flyer through a door and as a
result a young couple came who hadn't ever been to church. They are now reading
the Bible and seeking the Lord. Several foreign students and temporary visitors
have also come and are keen to find churches in their home countries. In fact
new people come to every area breakfast and it's thrilling (currently we hold
an area one every two months and street events in between).”</span></em></span></i><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

how to do this? Everyone is so busy. Prayer seems to slide to the bottom of the

spent a lot of time with Jean Black from "Pray for Scotland" and
found it to be a refreshing and encouraging experience. I shared the vision of
Neighbourhood Prayer Network, which is very similar to the great work, our
partners, "Pray for Scotland" have been doing over the last few
years. They have had a vision to see Lighthouses of prayer all over Scotland
and a Prayer, Care, Share model! I had learned about this after I had already
written the outline for "Neighbours, Transform Your Street" around a
Prayer, Care and Share model ! God is speaking to many of us about the same
vision and we all have an important part of a jigsaw that makes a bigger
picture! They have much to teach us and we spent some time talking about a
closer working relationship.</span></div>

the "Well" in Bury, St Edmunds, at the invitation of Caroline
Anderson who was one of three people who wrote the "Keep praying and
Bless" prayer guide used during the TORCH relay for the Olympics. I was
able to share the vision for Neighbourhood Prayer Network with people from East
Anglia. It was an inspiring experience and there is so much prayer going on
here and so much beauty in the people who attended. It was a real privilege to
spend time with people as we sought God in prayer and worship. We will be
adding the "Keep praying and Bless" prayer guide and a newer guide to
our prayer resources soon.</span></div>

<em><span style="color: #2b3133; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Just thought you might like to hear of the following experience
I have had since praying for our street. We live in a small cul de sac of 10
houses. 2 weeks ago our next door neighbour decided to let their 18 year old
daughter have the 2nd mid week party this year. During the summer this had
entailed partying and loud music going on until the early hours when most of us
had to go to work next day. I felt angry and resentful and remained so for
several days afterwards. This time I still felt that it was not a repectful
thing to do as the party was supposed to go on until 1am. I prayed about the
situation and my own attitude changed from one of annoyance which could lead to
a falling out, to an attitude of acceptance. I also prayed that the young
people who attended the party would be safe as they made their way home, as
from the noise it was evident that most were very drunk. I believe that this is
the attitude that Jesus expects us to have and aided by the Holy Spirit this
can prevent a situation turning from one that can start neighbourhood disputes
into one of loving your neighbour, even though a lack of precious sleep was
involved! yours Bonnie</span></em><br />
