2008 PRAYER NEEDS:

Though most people would probably say that money is a large part of what fuels missions, the truth is that we can accomplish nothing without prayer. Proverbs 16:3 reminds Christians to "Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established" (NASB). We recognize that the prayer is powerful, and it is through seeking God that we find direction and the means to fulfill His will. "The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much" (James 5:16, NASB). The following list is based off prayer cards we have used in the past during meetings. This ensures that everything is covered in prayer. Please use it as a guideline as you pray for our team, the trip, and the people we go to meet. Thank you for your sacrifice!
