Weekly Prayer Focus: Waterbeach Baptist Church

Week 31

Waterbeach Baptist Church is a warm and friendly church at the centre of Waterbeach village a few miles north of Cambridge.

It is a growing church that focuses on preaching and teaching God’s Word. Representing fifteen nationalities and all ages, 60 adults and 30 children come together from Waterbeach and the surrounding areas, in the building where Spurgeon had his first pastorate.

The Pastor, Martin Ensell, longs for people to experience God’s love and grace. Alongside him is his wife, Angela, who is the Administrator and oversees the Children’s Ministry. They met at Bible college and brought that passion for the Gospel into their eleven years in pastorate here. They, and the church, believe in being open and approachable, engaging with all the people of Waterbeach wherever possible.

Two of the most successful examples are the Easter trail the church sets up winding through the village – which attracts 350 people each year; and the Holiday Club, which sees 35 volunteers from three local churches bringing the Gospel to 90 village children!

This year brings celebrations for the church, as they see four people being baptised, and the 160^th anniversary of Spurgeon laying the foundation stone of the church building. 2023 also brings the start of 9,000 new homes being built as a new town, a mile away from Waterbeach Village. This will inevitably bring new challenges and opportunities for the village community and the church.

Waterbeach Baptist Church would like to invite you to join them in praying for revival in this land. In addition, please pray for:

All those finding God through Waterbeach Baptist Church, especially for the three who are being baptised in September.
A continued prayerful heart for the church, especially as they pray for the people from the village to come to know God.
All those that attended and helped with the Holiday Club that ran 24-28^th
