DAY #38 - CHURCHES IN CAREPOINTS
Please pray for us as we begin to develop plans to hold church services in CarePoints. Pray that we will have favor with the communities and that we will be wise with each step we take. Pray for divine direction in this. And pray that each service that is held will be full of God’s presence and that people’s lives will be changed as a result. Pray for ministers - pastors, worship leaders, musicians, and workers of all types to join in the effort.
Pray that the additional resources will be there as they are needed. Pray that churches in the USA and other supporting countries will catch the vision and get behind the effort to take the Gospel to the communities where our CarePoints have opened the door by earning the trust of the people.
- Lord, I believe with all that is in me that You are the originator of the strategy of "show and tell" evangelism. You did it yourself when you walked this earth as one of us - You healed the sick and hurting, showed astounding love and relentless mercy to people everywhere You went. This is what we're asking You to help us do today: The care given and relationships formed at the CarePoints that Children's Cup has established have created an opportunity to go the next step in ministering to the needs of these precious children and communities. Now that we've shown them Your love, the door is open to tell them who You are.
Adapting the CarePoints will require resources, leadership, workers, pastors, and a whole lot of continued prayer. But we know that You already have the answers to all of these needs ready and waiting. So we ask You to speak to people about their involvement. We ask you to send laborers into this very very ripe harvest. We ask for churches to catch the vision for this, and we ask that You'd give the Children's Cup team clear direciton about where and when and how to step into the ministry opportunity You have opened up to us.
Thank You for Your faithfulness - yet again, Lord.
Amen.
Thanks for praying with us today. Please be sure to join us this weekend for the final two days. We will be praying once again for HEALING FROM AIDS (DAY #39) and on DAY #40, we'll be praying for your needs. As our 'CupBearers, your needs are our needs - your concerns are our concerns, your loved ones are our loved ones.
So, between now and Sunday, be sure to let us know your prayer needs by sending us an email at info@childrenscup.org and let us know how we can pray for you.
