Last week we gathered leaders from our UK based churches in Sheffield to pray together for our churches and our family of churches. It was a wonderful time together led by a variety of different people. As has become a highlight of these times together it was fantastic to also gather leaders from across the nations in our afternoon session on Zoom. This time we were led by Joseph Mwila as we prayed for the many situations we are involved with across the contentant of Africa. 

Here are some of the things which we prayed for during our time together:
