Prayer for the Bride...

There are some men who for the last five years have been trying to take over our church. These men live in the apartments attached to the church and have been causing increasingly more and more problems for anyone associated with the church. From yelling at the children to trying to break up our youth group meetings, it has been a continual strain on everyone. Tonight at youth group they continued to disrupt our meeting, claiming that tomorrow they would hold a meeting in order to "Take their church back". There will in fact be a meeting tomorrow, Saturday morning at 10am (Saturday at 1am West Coast Time) with all of the leaders involved. Please be in prayer for this important meeting. Our pastor Zvonko Turinski who has been faithfully shepherding our church for the last few years will be meeting with them and speaking for our church. He will be setting up an ultimatum, saying that if these men do not leave then he will take this situation to higher authorities. Pray for Heavenly wisdom and strength that comes from the Lord as this is very challenging for him!! Although many of us are hoping that these men will be forced to leave and move out of the church building, it might also be an incredible thing for our church to walk away and start afresh! Pray that whatever happens the Lord's name will be glorified and that his Bride, the Church will be strengthened. I will keep you posted! Thank you!
