Port Stephens Mayor’s Prayer Dinner.
‘Our Region. Our Purpose.’
Our theme this year was to honour those in our community who play a significant role in enriching our region with Godly values and integrity.
There was a tangible excitement and anticipation in the room as guests arrived for an evening of honouring our Christian Business owners and Sally Dover, who began the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast in Council Chambers, before moving it into the public arena in 2017.
Craig Sparrow inspired us, as he spoke about Healing Path to Wellness that has been launched in this region at C3 Spectrum Church at Anna Bay. This is an extension of our other Medical and Healing facilities in this area and it is offered without any charge.
Guest Speaker was Simon Hasson, CEO of HV Aluminium spoke about the call to share the good news. When we make God a priority, he does amazing things. Simon testified his business success over the years was constant learning with the inclusion of devotion and prayer dramatically elevating his business.
Local pastors and leaders led prayer and C3 New Life lead us the room in worship beautifully. that raised the roof.
St Philips Christian College and Medowie Christian School served and participated brilliantly well.

We ask for the Holy Spirit to awaken the hearts of men and women, young and old. We ask that you show Yourself with signs and wonders and miracles.
Lord we ask for the unearthing of creativity. We pray for the entrepreneurs and pioneers to arise with confidence. We ask for the birthing of new ideas that would lead to resourcing this region and her people. Every good thing You bring forth we want to release it to other regions.
Jesus, You are our hope and in You there is a future. Awaken us to the purposes of heaven. Lord touch us with Your presence today, to empower us for our tomorrow. Lord be glorified through our lives and throughout our region and into our future.
This we pray in the name of Jesus. Amen
