PRAYER REQUEST FROM PAUL FUNNELL: I have asked the Church for prayer support and I am convinced this has really helped, so many prayers were and still are being answered. I have a new project starting and I would again request prayer support for this .It is in West London Portabello Road and I will be working with Ex Gang members from 16-30. Like most projects I have no idea who will be there and it is the first one aimed at young people. I am really excited about this one and really looking forward to it but can see challenges ahead .I pray God's blessing will be on the course and Richard (my colleague) and myself will say the right things, I pray lives will be changed.
