March 2024 Prayer Update

GLOBAL MISSION AGENCY
REVIVAL MOVEMENT ASSOCIATION
Revival Movement Association, also known as Every Home Crusade, is a Christian
printing and publishing organisation founded 75 years ago by the late Mr William
Ernest Allen. With two factories – one in Belfast and one in Kinallen, Co Down, plus
depots in Brazil and Nigeria, RMA prints 6 tonnes of Gospel literature every day in
95 languages and sends it out free of charge. The literature includes Gospel tracts, booklets, Gospels of John, Spanish and Portuguese New Testaments and children’s flashcard Bible lessons.
RMA partners with other missionary organisations such as CEF, Bible Education Services, Mailbox Club and Every Home for Christ by supplying them with literature for outreach and teaching.
Down through the years we have received numerous reports of lives being changed and new fellowships established because of the power of the Gospel message through the printed page.
Further information can be found at www.revivalmovement.org or by emailing heather@revivalmovement.org They are happy to arrange visits to the factory for church groups, etc.

POINTS FOR PRAYER
GLOBAL
VILLAGE
Last month we asked for prayer for a good response to our invitation to mission agencies to register for our Global Village at the 2024 Convention. Give praise that we have been overwhelmed by the applications and are now fully subscribed with a Waiting List in place. It is a great encouragement to the committee to have had such an enthusiastic response from the agencies and we thank God for it. Pray for Lorraine as she moves on to the next stage of working on layouts for the halls etc.
MINISTERS
LUNCH
Invitations have gone out to local ministers and pastors to a lunch which Worldwide has arranged for Tuesday 12th March at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Bangor. Please pray that these will draw a good response from clergy and that the time together will be an encouragement to all. We plan to share an outline of the programme for the 2024 Convention and some new initiatives. Pray for Keith as he works out the details for the event and that this gathering will be of value to those taking the time to attend.
PUBLICITY
We are in the process of selecting the designs for our publicity material for this year. Our aim is to produce literature which is attractive and indeed eye-catching. Pray for the committee and Design Team, that we will be of one mind on this and allow the process to proceed smoothly to the print stage, in good time for our Launch events at the end of May.
