Under the direction of our Global Movements team, many of our staff are hard at work preparing for student summer projects.  Pray with us for an amazing cross-cultural experience for our students.  Our desire is that God will use these projects powerfully in the lives our students, even calling some to long-term mission.   

Agapé's Global Movements team are sending two of their staff, Diane and Kimberley, to a conference run by Gobal Connections in Spain from 23rd-27th March. The conference will be looking at the area of member care, which covers everything to do with supporting staff and their families. Please pray for God to further equip Diane and Kimberley in their work, that they would learn from the good pratice of other organisations and be a blessing to all they meet.

Early in March fifteen students involved in leading movements on their local campuses around the UK gathered together in Birmingham for a weekend of training. Praise God for this weekend of encouragement and sharing of ideas. Ask God to continue to bless our Student Leaders and use them to lead powerful movements of Jesus Christ across UK universities.

The University of Birmingham Student Life society hosted a lunch time talk on Thursday 4th March with the provocative title "Jesus, prostitutes and the best sex of your life". The talk addressed some common issues amongst student culture from a Christian perspective and involved discussion afterwards. Praise God for the interesting and thought-provoking discussions and pray for those who came to be continually challenged in their thinking.

Praise God for the tremendous response to the www.doustibakhoda.com evangelistic website in Farsi. The First Acts team are training fifteen people to be online coaches. This field is so huge and there are very few workers. Pray for more Farsi-speaking workers to join the First Acts team.

Give thanks for those who financially and prayerfully support the work of Agapé, whether that is by supporting staff or projects.  As our supporters bless us, we want our partnerships with them to also be a blessing.  Pray for great communication and lasting relationships between our staff and their support teams.

When2Pray is a collaboration of a number of ministries including FamilyLife. We ran a prayer challenge for couples at the beginning of this year which has now finished and we’ve just heard that out of the couples we have been praying for over the last 7 weeks, 2 affairs have been stopped in their tracks, with one husband now reading his bible and praying again, and an unsaved husband has given his life to the Lord. PRAISE GOD!

Do pray that many people would attend the special day of prayer for marriage on 24th April.

The Birmingham Student Life student leaders are planning a St Patrick’s Day party in March. Please pray that many non-believers would come along and that God would provide many opportunities for them to hear the gospel. Please pray for the community being built in Birmingham, particularly that Christians would practically demonstrate Christ’s love.

Thank God for the bunch of Canadians who travelled all the way to Glasgow to add some energy and man power to the Glaswegian studentlife movement in February. Please pray for God to guide those considering returning for a full year.

Please pray for our Agapé staff travelling to the horn of Africa to visit long-term staff based out there. Pray for a blessed, safe and fruitful trip with a clear sense of God's leading during meetings and discussions.

Pray for God's Spirit to be reaching the Qizilbash people of Afghanistan through dreams and visions. Pray for him to raise up Afghani believers who would be willing to take the message of Jesus to these people and for linguists to help translate the Scriptures into their language.

Praise God for answered prayer in providing new Agapé staff member Hannah with sufficient finances to travel out to Paris to join her new team last month. Pray for energy to converse in French and for her to settle in quickly to her new job, a new country and home. Pray that God would use her to reach many French students with the gospel.

Agapé Student Life has pioneered two brand new movements in Nottingham and Glasgow this year.  Now well into a new term, pray for strong partnerships and growing Student Leaders in both of these university cities.  Pray also for close relationships between team members, as well as good friendships and church connections.
