Mark 5: 25-34
25 And a certain woman had a hemorrhage for twelve years, 26 and had suffered much under many physicians. She had spent all that she had, and was not better but rather grew worse. 27 When she had heard of Jesus, she came in the crowd behind Him and touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If I may touch His garments, I shall be healed.” 29 And immediately her hemorrhage dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.
30 At once, Jesus knew within Himself that power had gone out of Him. He turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My garments?”
31 His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing against You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
32 And He looked around to see her who had done it. 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the entire truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
 
As well as praying, we should believe and Never Give up.

Community Element - Project Wingman Interview 31 July 2020

In this edition,  we were joined by Brian for Brian's Good News live.
We also caught up live with Lyndsey Carter  from Project Wingman and Dan Brown from NHS Grampian for a socially distanced video call.  Both Dan and Lyndsey were at Woodend Hospital where Project Wingman made up of flight staff from different airlines had used their skills and training during lockdown to bring cheer to hard pressed NHS staff. 
Over 70 First Class lounges had been set up at hospitals throughout the UK.  Although the Woodend lounge is now closed, pop up lounges have been planned for the ARI over thew coming months.
We wish Project Wingman every success over the future and a great partnership.  
It has to be said that the lounges and certainly the lounge at Woodend Hospital would not have been a success with out the very generous donations of food, drink and tray bakes provided by local businesses and supermarkets.  A big big thank you to them from Project Wingman.
