DAY #40 - CUPBEARERS

On this the 40th day of prayer for the children, we want to focus our prayer on the people that enable Children’s Cup to do what we do. Those of you who support Children’s Cup through prayer, giving or even going to the field for short-term missions projects all are very very important to us. We are convinced that it is your prayers that have sustained us when we have needed strength, and provided the resources when they were most needed.

So today, we pray for the children by asking God to continue to bless you and the rest of the Children’s Cup Cupbearers. We pray for your families - for strengthened relationships, for healing, for strength during times when families are separated due to military service. We pray for direction in your lives. We pray for God’s protection on your children, and for His hand to be on them everywhere they go. We pray that God will bless your businesses, your employers and employees. We pray that God will make you beacons of light and God’s hope to your co-workers, neighbors and loved ones. We pray for anointing in your lives as God gives you opportunity to show people His love and grace. We pray that God will increase your capacity to serve Him in your local church. We pray for increased blessing on you so that you can bless others. We pray that the power of the Holy Spirit will fill you as you continue to pray for the children and for His blessing on your resources as you continue to provide for the work Children’s Cup is doing with them.


Today we have invited a great friend of Children's Cup to lead us in prayer. Lee Domingue is a tremendous example of being a 'CupBearer - his heart and passion for doing God's will in everything is both inspiring and a blessing to everyone around him. Lee recently was in Mozambique and Swaziland with a team from Healing Place Church.



If you have a prayer need that you'd like to include here, please add it to the comments on this post and we'll be sure to pray for you today.

And feel free to come back here to let us know of the answers to your prayers as God meets them.


Thanks again for praying. Please stay connected with Children's Cup through the 'Cup website (www.childrenscup.org) and the 'Cup team members' blogs:
