Dear IBC Family

We trust that wherever you are you experienced a blessed Christmas!  Let us pray for a New Year that will bring us all closer to Christ and His purposes for us and the world.

Please note the following:

Our 24 hour prayer will take place in January over the second weekend (9 and 10 January). This is due to our call for a week of prayer and fasting in conjunction with pray4 Belgium 11 to 18 January.

• This means that the church prayer meeting will take place (not on Sunday 3 January as is normally the case), but on Sunday 10 January.

• However if you are in Brussels please join us on: 3 January at 10.00 am as Frans Meintjes leads a session before the service on the subject of  ‘Fasting – Why and How?’ (see earlier Quick Guide to Fasting)

• Apart from our Men’s Prayer Meeting on Wednesday 13 January at 7.15 a.m., we plan two other prayer meetings (for an hour) over the week. Wednesday 13 January 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm and Friday 15 January 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm.  Please make every effort to join us for at least one of these times of calling upon the Lord.

E.M. Bounds said:  “The Gospel cannot live, fight, conquer without prayer—prayer unceasing, instant and ardent.”

May Christ be glorified in our lives, church and in our needy world

In His grace
