Floyd and Tracey Tidd
Dear friends,

On Thursday, April 9, together we complete the journey of 100 Days of Unceasing Prayer and Shared Scripture. Across the territory we have heard the stories of people being inspired by what they are seeing God do in and through The Salvation Army. People have bonded together in prayer as we lifted up the various ministry expressions through daily, focused prayer requests. We have learned much more about the communities in which we serve.

Thank you for sharing this journey. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for listening to God as he has spoken through his Word in the shared Scripture readings from Genesis to Revelation.

We want to also say thank you to those who have already completed the survey and shared with us what God has been impressing upon your hearts and minds through this journey. For those who haven’t had the opportunity yet, we encourage you to take some time during these days of “staying home” to share your thoughts.

As we began the 100 Days journey, none of us could have ever imagined that we would be in the midst of a pandemic at the end of it. We are confident that God knew what lay ahead. This discipline of prayer and shared Scripture has been used by God to prepare us for these days, and the days that will follow. As we spend these days “social distancing,” let’s remain committed to prayer for one another, and for Canada and Bermuda. Let’s remember to continue to spend time in Scripture.

We continue to count it a privilege to be partners in the gospel (Philippians 1:3-5) and together anticipate all that God has in mind to do in and through his Army of salvation.Yours in Christ,

Floyd and Tracey Tidd, Commissioners
Territorial Leaders, Canada and Bermuda


Day 76–March 16, 2020

100 Days


Unceasing Prayer


Ministry Expression
Corner Brook Citadel, Corner Brook, N.L.

Praise
We praise God that our Monday night Kidz Klub is flourishing and developing. Our new monthly Café Church is going well, with a significant increase in attendance compared to a “traditional” Sunday evening service. We are also grateful for the general signs of spiritual growth and renewal within our congregation. There is a renewed focus on outreach, prayer and Bible study, and the exercising of our spiritual gifts. There is a great sense of expectation and excitement for the future and a new openness to try innovative approaches as we attempt to discern the “new thing” God wants to do in and through us.

Petition
A significant property expense has impacted our financial position. Our people have made a significant effort to replenish our building fund, but it is going to take a long time. Pray that God will help us be wise with the resources we have and help us attract new people to bring fresh financial resources. Pray for us as build a fresh, strong, committed leadership team to lead our corps into the future that God has for us. Pray for open, willing hearts among our people and for the spirit of discernment as we figure out who God wants in each role.

Intercession
As with most other cities, there is a huge number of hurting, broken people in Corner Brook. Pray for seniors who “hang out” at the mall because they can’t afford to heat their homes each day. Pray for people trapped in poverty, especially children suffering from food insecurity. Pray for addicts and people experiencing homelessness as they sometimes wander our streets. Pray for the soup kitchen, thrift store and community and family services office run by Corner Brook Temple (supported by people from Corner Brook Citadel) that meet needs in Christ’s name. Pray for the nominal Christians in our city, those who identify as Christian but whose actions indicate they are far from God.

Shared Scripture


Passage
Acts 9:1-31

Reflect
Paul “saw the light” about Jesus. How did you “see the light” about him? What changes did it make? Do you think there is one special way everyone comes to Jesus? Why?
