It’s a joy to see how God continues to refresh, equip, and encourage leaders and their spouses through the ministries of Living Leadership.
As we enter the closing months of the summer term, we wanted to pause to give thanks for what God has done in recent weeks and to invite you to join us in prayer for what lies ahead.
Praising God for…
Refreshment Days Across the Country
In recent weeks, we’ve hosted Refreshment Days in Penrith, Oxford, Lutterworth, and Otford, as well as dedicated Days for men and women serving in Family, Youth & Children’s Ministry.
We’re so thankful we were able to create space for around 80 Christian leaders and spouses to step back, rest, and reconnect with God. One participant described the impact beautifully:
“Refreshed! Spiritually revitalised. It was a blessing to set aside a day to reflect and focus on God.”
We’re grateful for your prayers and support that make these moments of rest and renewal possible, and we are looking forward to serving even more people in the next month.
Praying for…
More Refreshment Days in June
Please pray for the upcoming Refreshment Days happening in:
London on 18th June
Near Doncaster on 19th June
North Hampshire on 19th June
A special Day for Couples in Family, Youth & Children’s Ministry in Sheffield on 24th June
Pray that each day would be well-attended, well-resourced and, above all, that through the Days the Lord might meet leaders and spouses exactly where they are and bring the refreshment they need for the season ahead.
Our First Annual Ministry Check-Up
On 11th June, we’re hosting our first ever Annual Ministry Check-Up, an online event for leaders and their spouses. It’s designed to provide space at the end of a busy academic year to reflect on ministry and life, using our Leadership Self-Assessment Toolkit as a guide.
The event includes:
Guided reflection through the three areas of Character, Competence and Compatibility
A one-to-one mentoring conversation to help participants go deeper and make practical plans for the future
This is a new venture, and we’d love your prayers for clarity, participation, and impact. We’re trusting God to use this tool to help many grow in faith and service.
Spouses Seminar: Seasonal Soul Care
Finally, please pray for our upcoming Ministry Spouses Seminar on Monday June 2nd, on the topic of 'Seasonal Soul Care'.
We’ll be exploring how the different seasons of life (and even hormonal changes!) impact how we nourish and care for our souls, particularly during the busy summer months.
One of our Associates, Roz Arnold, will be leading the session. With many years of ministry experience, serving in ministry herself and alongside her husband in the local church, Roz brings deep wisdom and warmth to her teaching. We’re especially praying that those attending would be built up and spurred on in their faith.
Thank you for your prayers! Your prayers, encouragement, and partnership continue to make a real difference in the lives of those we serve.
If you’re considering coming to an upcoming event, we’d love to welcome you along!
