Prayer focus: NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS ____________________ Pray for the major new housing developments that are being planned across the UK. These new towns, villages and developments provide fantastic and unique opportunities to share the Gospel and to establish communities that can be built with biblical foundations. They also present a challenge for existing local churches as they seek to plan on how they might reach and invest in these new communities. Please pray for churches, and key individuals that will be seeking to work alongside planners, housing contractors and councils to make provision for how to best serve the communities. Pioneer research suggests that spiritual investments made in the first six years of a new housing development reap a greater harvest than on an established housing development. There are three new ‘garden towns’ (of over 10,000 homes) are proposed near Aylesbury (15,000), Taunton (13,000) and Harlow & Gilston in Essex (16,000). Fourteen new ‘garden villages’ (between 1,500-10,000 homes) are also proposed. Large housing developments are also proposed for Bicester (13,000), Basingstoke (10,000), Didcot (15,000), North Essex (43,000), North Northamptonshire (18,000) and Folkestone (12,000).
