33 days until Bethlehem Live!

It's the night before remembrance Sunday, the day we stop to reflect and remember those who gave their lives to bring us peace. It's a sad fact that each year the list of names grows ever longer.

War is perhaps the most poignant reminder of man's fallen and rebellious state, God made us to live in peace with Him, but look what we have done, through our rebellion and selfishness. As we think about war and the consequences of war; and as we reflect on the many people who died to bring us peace and justice, let us resolve to re-double our efforts to tell people about Jesus.

Bethlehem Live, is a great opportunity to introduce people to "The Prince of Peace" himself. Let us pray that many surrender to Him and accept Him as their Lord and Saviour this Christmas.

• Pray asking Jesus to draw people to Him through Bethlehem Live.
• Ask Father to cause people to think about the big issues of life in the run up to the event.
• Invite the Holy Spirit to use you to move people along their journey of faith.

It's tempting to think of Bethlehem Live as being ages away, and to fall into the trap of thinking we've plenty of time to pray nearer to the date, but it's important that we do the groundwork now well in advance. So don't put off praying, it's never too soon to start...in fact why not start right now!?
