Dear Friends,
Thank you so much to each one of you who prays for me and
supports me in my work with CEF. I am humbled by your kindness
and deeply appreciate all you do for me. I know it has been some
time since my last prayer letter, so let me update you on how
things have been going for me, and some of the special
highlights that have happened throughout this year.
MAY:
I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the CEF European
Conference in Rehe, Germany for one week. This was a real
blessing and a great opportunity to meet many fellow workers
from all over Europe, some of whom are working in very difficult
situations. It was wonderful to hear how God is undertaking for
them and using them in a marvellous way. Jim Fasold was the
Bible teacher for the week, and his studies each morning on the
life of Gideon were so challenging. I really thank the Lord for
the opportunity to attend this conference.
JUNE:
I was involved in helping at the Trailblazers in my own home
Church. This was a great week with almost 250 children
attending. They listened attentively to the teaching of God’s
Word.
JULY:
I attended the SE Antrim GNC camp in Seaview, Kilkeel. This was
a marvellous week. The leaders of the camp this year were David
and Olivia Crutchley, CEF workers in the Youth Challenge
ministry. Olivia did the Bible teaching each morning on the life
of Ruth – challenging the children that “God’s ways are perfect”
and “God has a wonderful plan for your life.” The evening Bible
teaching was doctrine lessons on the Lord Jesus Christ and a
different counsellor spoke each night. The children listened
very well and there was a real sense of God’s presence upon the
meetings. The children learnt memory verses, Titus 2 v11-14, and
by the end of the week many were able to repeat this passage of
scripture almost word perfect. Quiet times in the dorms were
special times, as we worked through the Wonder Devotional book
one asking questions like “Who is God?”, “Are there many Gods?”,
“How did sin enter the world?” etc.
SEPTEMBER:
I attended the CEF Northern Workers Staff Conference for 4 days.
This was a blessed time when we prayed, studied God’s Word and
fellowshipped together. I was responsible for taking the minutes
at the business meetings, and the Lord really undertook for me.
POINTS FOR PRAYER:
v Each week in the National Office is busy and demanding. I
continue to have much administration in connection with working
for the National Directors, Henry & Madeline Berry. Please pray
that the Lord would grant much grace and wisdom in the daily
tasks. I have also recently taken on the role of Secretary of
the Missionary Sub-Committee. Pray that I would know God’s help
in every aspect of the work.
v I would value your prayers for the Good News Club which I am
involved with each Monday night in Jean Nutt’s home in Kings
Crescent, Newtownabbey. We have about 18-20 children attending
and they are so well behaved. This year we have been learning
Psalm 23. Many of the children are able to repeat this lovely
Psalm word perfect. Pray that God would work in their little
hearts and that we would see many of them putting their trust in
the Lord Jesus Christ as their own personal Saviour, and knowing
Him as their Shepherd.
I trust and pray that as you read this prayer letter, you will
be blessed and encouraged at how God is answering your prayers.
Thank you again for all you do for me.
Wishing you a blessed Christmas.
With love in Christ,
BEVERLEY McMASTER
