"Continue in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of the gospel of Christ, on account of which I am in prison-that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak."
I hope that the beginning of January finds you warm and content! I know this season can feel long and cold. It can be easy to become weary and downcast. Yet as the above verse says, we are to "continue in prayer." We must persevere, and remain steadfast and watchful. For as assuredly we know that God will bring the warmer weather and the long awaited spring, we know that he hears the prayers that we pray.
Praise for:
• A fruitful Christmas outreach project.
• Training for our newest GNC team, that will begin teaching in January.
• Those who gave financial gifts this past month.
• Two new GNC’s that we are in the process of starting.
Pray for:
• An available room at the Cokato Elementary school for the GNC, final details, and for children. We hope to start this month.
• The planning of a GNC that will start at a mobile home park in Annandale.
• Current Good News Clubs that meet, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Pray for more children to be able to attend, that teachers will be prepared and present the gospel clearly, that learning would be fun and engaging. Pray too, that God would work in the hearts of the children to draw them to Himself.
• Additional volunteers to complete Good News Club teams, so that we can start clubs in schools in St Michael, Buffalo, and Delano.
• Us as we begin planning for summer ministry. Pray for God’s help in direction as we plan for Summer Missionary training (CYIA), for teens to serve as Summer Missionaries, and for locations to host clubs.
• Church and volunteer connections as we expand our ministry in Stearns, Meeker, Mcleod and Kandiyohi Counties.
• A couple ministering weekly in a mobile home park that would like to start a Bible study. Pray for God to provide a place for them to meet.
• God to provide the needed financial resources to expand our ministry.
