Oxygen's Monday prayer mailings (this week sent on Tuesday!) sent out each week are a collection of news, stories and event news from around the various elements of Oxygen. This week (25th March 2008) They include an update from Jennifer Plummer who is completing her 2^nd year with Oxygen, this time in partnership with Tearfund. Alongside Jennifer’s more personal story there is a overview report from the work on the Kingsnympton estate where Oxygen has been developing a greater focused work in the last 2 -3 years. Finally exciting news about the annual non stop prayer event, this year called Powerhouse as well as training for the Kingston Green Fare in Prophetic Evangelism being run by the Sacred Space team.

With so many great stories, prayer requests and events could you continue to pray for Oxygen and the development of the work into the next few years. We are continuing our preparations for the launch event on the 24^th April, at which we hope to outline some exciting and God inspired plans. We hope you can join us at this event (more information on the day is available here: http://www.oxygen-online.org/o20812  

In the meantime, thank you for your continued prayer, generosity and encouragement

Richard, Oxygen

A news update from Oxygen’s Tearfund placement, Jennifer

Hi, just a shortish update from myself. Spending time with the Oxygen team in Nottingham in February was great! Especially since I had been away to Zambia and Moorlands Bible College with Tearfund in Jan. Zambia was an amazing trip; I met some truly inspiring people that give so much even though they have so little. To hear their stories was so encouraging. One man, Guyemba who has AIDS told us now that he can not work, he has been blessed with time in the day to tell people about Jesus!

Kingsnympton Work Report

Oxygen’s current work on the Kingsnympton Estate was launched in January 2006. It was developed, planned and undertaken in partnership between Kingston Youth Service and Oxygen, the partnership was completed by the Personal Development Trust who provided financial backing to the scheme. The original stated shared aim of the work on the estate was to build self esteem, confidence and motivation in young people on the Kingsnympton Estate and thus have a long term positive impact on the local community. The Latest Oxygen Kingsnympton report is now online outlining what has been achieved with these two grants and draws up proposals for the development of the project into year 3.

Powerhouse of Prayer Returns

Last year prayer was at the centre of all that took place as right in the middle of the year, during the month of May a non stop prayer room, called POWERHOUSE was opened at the prayer chapel in the YMCA in Victoria Road, Surbiton. The results of that week or prayer were obvious for all who took part, with lots of brilliant stories, times of blessing and some wonderful unity. Then straight after the week when the prayer was transferred to the healing fields at Kingston’s Green Fair the result was huge, and in words echoing a story of Jesus, at times there was not enough “labourers” to pray with those requesting it!

The good news is that this year POWERHOUSE returns, once again leading up to the Green Fair. As with last time, there will be 1 hour slots that can be taken by individuals, groups of friends, church groups, prayer groups or house groups and lots of other issues can be prayed for. This year the room opens at 6pm on the 18th May and finishes at 6pm on Sunday 25th May.

The Green Fair is on 26th May during which people will be invited to come and join the prayer team. You can find out more about Powerhouse here
