Pray for Pastor Ted Donnelly

Pastor Ted Donnelly, Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland, Principal and Professor of New Testament for Reformed Theological College in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and one of the finest ministers of our day, has "uffered a severe disability from a case of encephalitis." For more details see here. He and his family are in need of the prayers of the saints. Please remember to lift them up to the throne of grace as you have opportunity.

FEVR

Many years ago, I was blessed by the French Reformed ministry of Dr. Aaron R. Kayayan, Perspectives Réformées. He and his family were kind enough to host me at their home once. Today, goal to spread the Reformed Faith to French-speaking peoples is carried on by his son Eric at Foi et Vie Réformées (Reformed Faith and Life) or FEVR, based in South Africa and the United States, under the oversight of the "Church Council of Rietvallei Reformed Church (R.C.S.A., South Africa) in full cooperation and agreement with the Reformed Radio Administration Committee (R.R.A.C.) a Reformed interdenominational response to the Lord’s great commission to the Church, based in the U.S.A." Eric Kayayan's ministry is worldwide; yesterday he had occasion to preach at the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland's mission to Nantes, France. Visit this website for French Reformed literature, confessions and sermons. And consider praying for this outreach to those who speak John Calvin's native tongue.

Renwick Wright (1918-2009), an Ulsterman, a godly minister in the Reformed Presbyerian Church of Ireland and the Reformed Prebyterian Church of North America, and a Professor of New Testament Studies at the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary, has entered into glory. He passed away on October 8. He lived a full life and left a goodly legacy.
