Leading The Way President Dr Michael Youseff in Sydney

President of Leading The Way Dr Michael Youseff was in Sydney for a few days in May. Leading The Way Passionately proclaims the uncompromising Truth of the Bible. Dr Youseff is a wonderful Bible teacher and the ministry of Leading The Way is reaching out around the world. I had the priviledge of not only hearing Dr Youseff speak, but also of a personal meeting with him. In our Bible study group we are currently using his series "The Greatest lie" as a springboard for discussion. For more information on Leading The Way click here.

Call for Prayer:

Archbishop E.E.Rozitis has called for us to unite in prayer for Latvia, as the President has called for a referendum to dismiss the government. In this time of upheaval may we be united in seeking the Lord's face and praying that His will be done, and that His name be glorified. We pray for peace and stable government.
