This week, I'll be spending time with my family and generally getting ready to move to the beach! (I'm sure you can imagine how difficult it is to imagine living at the beach for a whole summer ;) ) I'm very much looking forward to spending time getting to know and fellowshipping with the team. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the summer is the amount of time I'll have the privilege to spend in such strong fellowship with some really amazing brothers and sisters (seriously, they quite regularly blow me away with the strength of their walks and faith) I know I'll learn so much from them! I just pray my life will exude Christ and maybe I'll have a word of encouragement or advice for them to take away as well.
With the start of project so quickly approaching I thought I'd pass on some prayer requests sent to us a few weeks ago. Please keep these in mind as you pray for myself and the team.
How to be praying for the summer:
Summer LINK Prayer Requests:
Pray for God’s provision for all of the team members’ financial support.
Pray for unity in heart and purpose among the team as we go to serve the Lord this summer in Bluffton.
Pray for the coworkers that God will place in our paths and that God would prepare their hearts to hear the gospel.
**some exciting news about my job this summer: I may get the opportunity to intern with the Crosspoint Bluffton staff! God's providing for this opportunity and I'm very excited about possibility. Please pray for everything to fall into place and for me as I serve with the staff.
Pray expectantly for God to work mightily in the lives of people we will meet in the Bluffton community.
Pray that our greatest desire would be to know Christ and to worship Him with our lives this summer.
Pray for their team to continue to be united in Christ as they worship, fellowship, and serve together.
Pray for people in the community to begin to join us and become part of our launch team.
Pray for the families of the launch team to remain healthy and open in communication as they work hard in the specific responsibilities on the team.
Pray for small groups that are beginning to form in the neighborhoods and that peoples' lives will be transformed by the open relationships built in these environments.
Pray for the team to build authentic relationships with our neighbors and other people in the community as we live their lives for Jesus each day.
Pray for us to find specific needs in the community that they can provide and serve the community unconditionally.
Pray for financial needs that they have as they look for partnerships and sponsors both as a church plant and as individual church planters.
Pray for God to move in mighty ways in the hearts of the people of Bluffton to prepare them spiritually for the Gospel message that we will be bringing to them through our conversations and actions as we interact in the community.
Thank you all for caring about me and the team. Nothing we do would be possible without the power of prayer and encouraging support.
