This week for the first time since my stroke I was able to visit Stephen Loader at the docks, what a joy to have an hour's fellowship and catching up on all what is going on. Two items for urgent Prayer, there are many more but these two are on my heart.

1: - A very urgent prayer request for a young seafarer who has been promoted to a officer, he is still holding Bible studies on his ship as well as by social media with seafarers on other ships. He is finding it very hard as one higher rank officer is giving him a very hard time. Stephen has been encouraging him to keep pressing on. So let us uphold this officer in our Prayers.

2: -Let us lift up all the Captains, Officers and the seafarers who are caught up in this situation in the Gulf and living on the ships, I don't think any of us can really imagine what they are going through and not knowing how long this situation is going on for. Many of these ships would have passed through Portbury and Avonmouth docks . As I said, this lies heavy on my heart. More Chinese seafarers are coming through the docks and are receiving The Missing Booklet readily. Besides other things on your hearts, please Pray for these seafarers
