GAFCON Primates to meet in Lagos

Next week, the Gafcon Primates arrive in Lagos, Nigeria, for the annual Primates Council meeting, between 25th – 27th April. I am writing to ask whether you would pray for this important gathering. Below are some specific points to help guide you.

Please pray for:

  • The safe arrival of the Primates (archbishops), representatives and advisers from Gafcon provinces and branches.
  • Clarity and understanding as the Council reviews Gafcon activity over the past 12 months (e.g. the inaugural Bishops Training Institute course) and considers a range of reports, including theological education and church planting.
  • Plans for the 2018 Gafcon Conference in Jerusalem next June.
  • Discussions about Gafcon policy in Communion matters and it’s implementation.
  • Discussions about further expansion and funding of the movement.
  • The Gafcon chairman, Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, as he leads the three-day meeting.
  • An uplifting time of fellowship.

Thank you so much for your prayers, they are greatly valued!

Your brother in Christ,

Peter Jensen
General Secretary
Gafcon
