This Sunday at Church: Pray for the church’s prayer meetings ahead of time

We launched our Sunday “prayer corner” nearly three years ago, only the elders taking turns being the primary contact. A year and a half ago, we started a midweek prayer group. It actually took us a while to have this same thought as today’s exhortation. Today, our deacons lead the prayer corner with other volunteers, and midweek is facilitated by volunteers. (We elders still participate in both! I rarely make the prayer meeting due to youth group being at the same time.)

Pray for congregational prayer.

Daniel

VerseD: Philippians 4:6-7

Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7, CSB

God is our Creator and Savior, the one whom we can trust and call on in any and all circumstances and offers us His peace and saves us from worry, knowing He is sovereign and all-powerful.

This Sunday at Church: Schedule to have lunch to encourage one of the deacons in your church

I wish we had more time to meet with our deacons, but everyone is so busy. We pastors do try, though. I see one at least every month. These folks are so wonderful and appreciated. Let us encourage the church by honoring her servants.

Answered Prayers from Youth Camp

Firstly, thank you to all who prayed for our youth this past week (July 22-25). 5 churches were represented this week, about 140 students attending.

Here are some quick updates on this week:

Our 2 JH boys
  • One student confessed his pride struggles, and he showed the fruit over the next day we were at camp.
  • Several students committed to actively living their lives for serving Christ.
  • At least four students came forward to receive Christ!
  • James was praying someone would experience a miracle to help their faith grow deeper. He was born color blind (able to see black/white, grays, and brown (typically from red)). After about 30 minutes of praying for his fellow students, he opened his eyes to notice the stage lights looked different. This young man, praying someone else might experience a miracle, had his own! James is no longer color blind!
    • James is not from my congregation, but he was in my cabin. We did not get to bed until after 1:00 am, because he kept discovering new colors and shades
Immediately after the Wednesday night prayer time. James is surrounded by friends praising God.

It is always amazing to see the goodness of God. Please continue to pray for our new believers, students who had major breakthroughs, and for James and his new vision!

Love and grace,

Daniel

Prayer for Another Youth Camp

This is a good summer.

A few churches have come together to send youth on a combined Junior High/High School summer camp, July 22-25.

The theme for this camp is “Breakthrough,” overcoming sin that hinders and doubts that slow our walk. I personally have some youth coming who have discussed needing this.

Please join us in praying for true breakthrough for our preteens and teens this coming week!

Prayer for Youth Camp

Greetings in the Lord!

Today (Sunday, May 26), our congregation is going to a local lake for baptisms! While there, our youth group is hosting a Taco Bar fundraiser to help cover camp costs.

This week, Tuesday-Friday, we are going on a camp out by a river. Our focus this week is “A Life of Worship,” looking at how teens can worship in everyday life.

Please join me in praying for a safe, empowering week of camping and seeking God (especially seeing as I wrote the curriculum!)

May the Holy Spirit move in their (our) lives in mighty ways, we have fun, and draw closer to God and each other.

Thanks in advance!

This Sunday at Church: Pray for new deacons for your Church

We are looking for deacons all the time. I work with our deacons specifically to help make their work cohesive (not micromanage. I am way too engaged in several areas to do that!) More help is always needed and wanted. Having godly men and their wives is always great, and helping them grow is even better.

I joked around with one of our deacons about how he could grow as a teacher, and he said, “That’s definitely not my calling!” Today, he has taken on a teaching role at work and is about to help launch our new Young Adults ministry as our main teacher! And he’s the one who stepped up!

Pray for specific servants for the church. God raises them up in amazing ways.
