PRAYER POINTS

Please pray for those within our church family who are sick and suffering.

GOSPEL GLEANING PRAYER POINTERS  
  • What do we value and why? No matter what society or culture one lives in, there always is a pull toward monetary accumulation. That isn’t bad in itself, but often it leads to idolatry – for both rich and poor and those in between. As we pray for the 12 Church Planters working among the Erukula people in India, that is an issue worthy of our prayers. Psalm 119:72 expresses the attitude we pray for them: The law of Your mouth is better to me, Than thousands of gold and silver pieces. As we pray, let’s pray the Holy Spirit will help the Church Planters, the people among whom they minister, and us(!) to value properly the Word of God in comparison with the accumulation of monies. Lord, You are more precious than silver. Lord You are more . . .
  • West Africa, including Chad and Niger, is facing its worst food crisis in more than a decade. Since 2015, the number of people in need of emergency food assistance in the region has nearly quadrupled, jumping from seven to 27 million. In the midst of this crisis, Christians in Chad and Niger are seeking to bring the Bread of Life as well as bread for eating to those in need. Let’s pray for success on both fronts: real nutrition for the body and real nutrition for the soul. Ask the Lord to guide those reaching out in Jesus’ name to those who are ready to receive both types of bread.
