Thank you so much for your continued prayer support for us and our partners. By praying through the Partner Update, you are actively supporting the work of those sharing the Gospel and caring for the vulnerable around the world.

It was a valuable opportunity to step outside the classroom and spend intentional time in community - sharing, reflecting, and discussing what they’ve learned so far on the course. This month the Müllers team is excited to host the Summer Youth & Children’s Retreat. Youth and children’s workers from across the Bristol region will gather for a morning of worship, prayer, and rest - taking a much-needed pause from the busyness of ministry to reconnect with God and one another.
