Pray that home churches will begin from these outreaches.

Despite rain the previous week, our prayers for sunshine were answered with two rain-free days, praise God!”

• “Thank you for the Sept/Oct Prayer Guide. I've known DPM for years, having attended a church in South London with one of Derek’s daughters. Derek would occasionally lead services. It is a great privilege for me to follow the activities of DPM as it spreads across the globe. I'm reading his book Secrets of a Prayer Warrior and have been immensely blessed by it. Derek's clarity is unmatched. May our Lord continue blessing DPM in these increasingly self-centred times.” — Esther
