A Prayer Assignment

How's the prayer challenge coming? I hope many more of you have taken it up than have responded in the positive here . . .

Anyway, here's an opportunity for you if you are praying regularly: please pray for our Teens who are now into their second week back from Youth Councils. You know- the days are settling back into routine; the old things and friends are still all around (sometimes pulling down); the enemy is now trying to knock them down from their success.

Pray for them to continue faithfully in the basics of prayer and fellowship. Pray for them to tell others about what they experienced and not doubt that it was real. Pray that they will continue to experience God daily in his power for their lives.

This SonDay in SonDay'S cool we spent time debriefing on the Youth Councils weekend. We also spent time in the Worship Service directing what Christians should do now (after the spiritual high). Three of the teens gave their testimonies including one who had just become a Christian, one who had recommitted and another who spent time interceeding for others during the weekend. The teens were also much more free to worship, ignoring any feelings of "who might be watching them." It was powerful for me!

Your prayers are important in helping them stay focused on God. Their newfound focus is an answer to prayer for us!

The assignment was tougher to carry out that i thought. . stuff kept getting in the way . . i could never seem to have a peaceful hour. . i did email you some of the stuff that I learned. I've definitely been praying more since taking up the challenge, Doug! *and listening to God more!*
