John 4:31-35 - New International Version

31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” 33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?” 34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

Our next group prayer walk will be on Saturday 8th March meeting up for a commisioning prayer as we walk out in different directions to cover the Buxton area with prayer, for the winning of souls, remembering 2 Chronicles 7:14. Area maps will be provided, or you can be online live on the map if you use an iPhone. Be early from 1:30pm if you would like instructions or help, this will help us to be on time for our prayer time.
