Pray for our efforts in relation to the offensive placards carried at the "Gay Pride" parade in Belfast on 30 July, We have sought another meeting with the Parades Commission and have complained to the BBC about its handling of the issue on 'Good Morning Ulster'. We also intend to write to the Belfast Telegraph about its pro-gay bias.

Pray for Caleb as we seek to develop our corporate image and produce promotional literature and DVDs. We are being assisted in this by Robert Campbell of "Twelve Stones Media". This is a challenging task as our resources are limited, but we are grateful for Robert's help and we would value prayer as we develop some of these projects. The aim is to enable us to do more deputation work and to be generally more effective in our witness.

Pray that our financial base would grow so that we might be able to be more effective in a range of areas.  

We intend to develop our lobbying at the NI Assembly. We will write to all MLAs and seek meetings with all the parties.  Please pray for a positive repsonse from our politicians.

Pray for all MPs, MEPS, MLAs and Councillors, especially for those Christians who occupy posts as Ministers in the Executive and in other areas of authority.  Pray that evangelical politicians would promote and defend Biblical standards in society and that they would resist any pressure to compromise on fundamental issues.

Pray for the Royal Family, particularly Prince William and his new wife Catherine as they embark on married life. Pray that the Royal Family would turn to the Lord and seek to set a godly example to the nation. May we all pray, "God save the Queen".

Pray for the Caleb officers - Wallace Thompson (chairman); Mervyn Storey MLA (vice-chairman); Robert McEvoy (secretary); David McConaghie (Press officer).

Pray for the Caleb Council of Reference - pray for unity, wisdom and grace as it meets to direct the work of the Foundation.

Pray for our ongoing campaign for balance and fairness in the Ulster Museum and at the Giant's Causeway in relation to displays and presentations on the origins of the universe and of life.

Pray for our continued liaison with the BBC, that we might be able to build on the progress made so far in relation to a better and fairer representation for evangelicals on local radio and TV.

Pray that the proposed extension of Sunday opening of shops might not proceed.

Pray for Peter and Hazelmary Bull, the Christian owners of a Cornish guesthouse who have been fined £3,600 for refusing to allow a homosexual couple to share a double room. Pray for Peter who is to undergo major heart surgery and will be affected by the additional stress. Pray for them as they consider whether to appeal against the court ruling.

Give thanks for all that has been achieved by the Caleb Foundation so far.
