HIPM Weekly Newsletter - August 22, 2018

We are so glad to reach you with our weekly newsletter.  We believe it is a great way of connecting with you in the mid of the week with the highlights of the previous weekend and to remind you on the upcoming events.  

HIPM Kids

These are few of our Sunday school kids.  They just joined together for a picture as two of them are going to move out of the city and this Sunday happened to be their last Sunday in Halifax.  We see these kids love each other and they really cherish the time of their fellowship.  Through our children ministry we develop this kind of healthy fellowship among our kids.  As the parents know each other it forms a safe environment where children can grow in the Lord with freedom and accountability.  

Saturday Night Fellowship - August 18, 2018

This month Saturday Night Fellowship was combined with different emotions.  As the theme of the month was "obedience", children performed action songs and skit based on the theme.  We took time to pray for the recent flood situation in Kerala. People took turns, came forward and prayed with heavy burden for the people of Kerala, for the relief works, and for the  aftermath of the flood.  A short sermon on obedience was shared from the life of Abraham, Genesis 22. 

• Obedience proves our love to God
• Obedience is trusting God
• Obedience demonstrates our faith
• Obedience is better than sacrifice
• Obedience is rewarding

Women's online prayer ministry

Online prayer ministry started in the year 2007.  Today it has grown to be a well established prayer ministry. Many women join together from different parts of the globe in prayer.  For many others who have restrictions to go to regular church on Sunday morning, this prayer ministry has been their church.  Anyone who participates in this prayer will not fail to notice the heavy burden God has given the intercessors to intercede for the lost.   God has been answering the prayers offered for some of the specific physical needs such as healing, financial breakthroughs, deliverance and other miracles.  We invite you to join in this prayer movement.  Each one of you has something to accomplish for God in this ministry.   Please contact our prayer coordinator  for more details. 

A maximum of 14 women participated in the prayer conference during last week.  Following are some of the thoughts and meditations shared in the conference. 

• The Lord looks at our hearts, 1 Samuel 16:7
• Proclaim God's word is our duty, 2 Thessalonians 3: 1 & 2
• In the name of Jesus, Acts. 3:6
• Prodigal son - Loving Father, Luke 15
• Stand firm on the battle, Jeremiah 12:5

HIPM online prayer network

Balan & Joy are serving as Prayer Coordinators of the Maritime District of PAOC.  This role involves facilitating prayer with the district churches based on the prayer needs that arise from the national office and the Maritime District office.  Currently the focus has been on praying for the district initiatives, church and pastoral transitions, leadership, “Pray Every Day” prayer focus and for the global workers. In order to facilitate this prayer need, HIPM has recently started a online prayer network where anyone who is called to pray can join together to pray for the above said agenda.
