CCC Prayer Needs for June 13, 2010
Pray for our Mission Partners here and around the world:
- Pray for Barry and Louise Adkins, who are ministering with ZEMA in the Mthatha area. Pray for them as they prepare for missions week--June 14-25. There are teams visiting from the US and South Africa, and they will be involved in a variety of ministries. Pray for safety in their travels and unity for the teams.
- Pray for Ellie and Divina as they start the surveying and negotiations for another building for Zion Philippines. Pray for Ellie's involvement in the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches which has given him an opportunity to minister to the larger body of Christ.
- Pray for Toshio and Yumiko Hara who are ministering in Takahama in Japan. Pray for their small church of believers as they are a small minority in Japan. Pray especially that God would touch the hearts of young Japanese to seek him.
- Pray for Randy and Nancy Capp who are ministering with United Bible Societies and based in Germany. Their prayer is for protection from all the ways the evil one distracts and discourages.
- Pray for Diana Sroka and for the country of Guatemala. With all the rain, mudslides and the volcano eruption, relief efforts have been a real challenge and danger. Pray for the families of those who have died, the many missing and those who have been evacuated and are now homeless.
Pray for our ministries' needs:
- Pray for Vacation Bible School this week. Pray for the team's heart attitude.
- Pray for the remaining staff vacancies for our 2010 Camp Zion summer sessions--God's choice matching talent with task.
- Pray for all those who have attended the Contagious Christian studies held during ABF hour. Pray that we'll have the authentic kind of relationship with God that's worth sharing with others.
- Pray that God would encourage and protect the teams involved in Short Term Ministries this summer. Pray for protection as they travel, learn and minister.
- Pray for the Zion CareNet Pregnancy Center. Pray for the unwed mothers that they will make the right decisions and that the Lord will change their hearts and guide them to the truth. Pray that God will give pro-life people boldness and courage to speak out again abortions.
- Pray for our vision for racial reconcilation and multi-ethnic ministry. God has blessed us with a pastor to work with the Hispanic community, but the years ahead will no doubt bring many challenges as well as opportunities.
