Prayer Guides

First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people, even for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior, since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
(1 Timothy 2:1-4 NET)

For the last month my wife and I have appreciated using a 30 Days Muslim Prayer Focus guide. It gave helpful information concerning those of the Muslim faith around the world. We are a few days behind but will finish it soon.

Because New Covenant is hosting Perspectives on the World Christian Movement this coming January, I was checking out the Perspectives website at www.perspectives.org . While there, I noticed something new or that I had previously missed. They have links to a number of prayer guides that will help me pray more intelligently for people around the world. I look forward to using these resources once we are done with the 30 Days guide.

It is right and appropriate to pray for our own needs as well as the needs of friends, family, and co-workers. But as Paul urges in 1 Timothy 2, we should also pray for the world around us. These prayer guides may help you as they have me obey this command.

Pray for Our Teams

November will be a busy month. We are sending out two teams, one which will travel to Kenya and Uganda, and the other to Mexico. I will post updates on these teams as they become available, so check this blog while they are gone.

Please remember to pray for these teams. Here are a few requests:

Team Africa -- Kenya & Uganda (November 5- 19, 2007)

• Pray for us that our preparation for children’s ministry, work projects and adult training would be done in a timely fashion and with flexibility.
• Our team would be an encouragement.
• Unity on the New Covenant Team and with ELI and Hesed staff would be evident.
• For good health and physical stamina.

Men's Mission to Mexico -- Juarez, Mexico (November 11-18, 2007)

• To raise the full support needed for this trip ($1,800 per person).
• Safety on the work site.
• To be an impact for Christ on the Mexicans with whom they come in contact, including the family for whom they are building a home.
