Sabbatical - Day 8

'When he had said these things, he knelt down with them all and prayed' - Acts 20:36

Reading Michael Green: A Prayer Journey with the Apostle Paul. Very struck by Paul's public prayerfulness and dependence on God. May I be prayerful and model such prayerfulness in all ministry, beginning with the time in India. There is a humility about public prayerfulness which is some of the answer to all pride and self-dependence.

This is also a place where individual and corporate prayerfulness can be encouraged. I m reminded of Bishop Stephen whom I have often observed beginning a sermon with a lengthy moment of prayerful silence.

I pray for those we will meet at
Gurukul Theological Seminery, Chennai
Tamil Nadu Theological Seminary  Madurai
St.Stephen's church, Vichoor Village.

United Theological College Bangalore

Bishop Newbigin College of Education.
ESanthome Cathedral

Kancheepuram where Bishop Newbegin served.


St.Peter's Church, Vyasarpadi
 where we visited in 2012
Madras Christian College, Tambaram.



May my prayer not be brief or embarrassed. May it be and model total dependence on God.
