Weekly Prayer Focus: Histon Baptist Church

Week 37

Histon Baptist, a thriving, evangelical church, is located in the growing semi-rural villages of Histon and Impington, north of Cambridge. The Minister, Chris Farmer, with his wife and family, has been there for 4 years and is supported in leadership by 3 Elders, 7 Deacons and others.

In addition to Sunday Worship Services, the Church has regular Sunday and mid-week children and youth groups (including a thriving baby and toddler group and a youth group), music groups and life groups. They have seen growth in attendance from people of a variety of backgrounds and nationalities and welcomed people with specific physical and learning needs.

In 2025, they have been greatly encouraged by a very successful Alpha course. 20 people from a wide age range attended, some had been attending Church, others were new to Christianity. All 20 made a commitment to Jesus, and the Church is now supporting and encouraging people into the life of the Church and preparing to run a post-alpha discipleship programme.

In September, they will have a part-time Children’s worker, a new initiative, with the aim of building up the work with children and families in the Church and local community. This is an answer to prayer and an important investment.

Please pray:

• For the post Alpha programme, may people grow in faith and may God guide the Church as they receive new members and see growth in baptisms and commitments.
• For wisdom, and unity as the Church continues to live out its new Vision and Values, expands its Life Groups and reviews the support it gives to Mission (locally, nationally and internationally). May they see God’s provision.
• For the Children’s worker, Helen, as she starts her role in September.
