Prayer Points 

(updated 29 August 2024)

We are in the final 40 day journey toward Synod.
Commit to a special time of prayer and fasting in the lead-up to
General Pastors Conference and General Synod as we pray:

​

• for the Synod delegates to diligently familiarise themselves with the Way Forward Framework and all other material necessary for Pastors Conference and Synod so informed decisions can be made and intelligent discussions can take place;

• for thanksgiving for all people who have been on a Way Forward working group over the past 18 months. We pray God's blessings over them and their families. We commit to God those working groups who are still meeting and ask for wisdom, godliness and diligence as they work through the matters at hand;

• for the members of the College of Bishops - Paul Smith, Neville Otto, Andrew Brook, Lester Priebbenow, Mark Vainikka, Peter Hage, Richard Schwedes;

• for the members of the General Church Board - Kim Baumeler, Paul Argyle, Charmaine Harch, Tim Wiebusch, Mel Zerner, Rev Ben Hentschke;

• for the organisers and volunteers of Pastors Conference and General Synod to be guided in all the ways needed for their work of preparation and support;

• that the doors can be opened so our church can find a unified way forward in which to embrace and support the calling and gifting of all our women and men in all ministry spaces of our church.
