BARRVILLE PRAYER FOCUS 2018
Let's join together in regular prayer for the Barrville Mennonite Church to be a place where many are coming to know Jesus as Savior and Lord and are growing in a Spirit empowered, vibrant, life- changing faith in Jesus.
Call to Praise and Worship:
Please consider reading John 15:5-10 and praying over these matters at least once a week and meditate on the passage. Reflect on what God is saying to you and our church through the words of this scripture. One way to work at this would be to meditate on one of the verses each week, rotating through the verses over the course of the year.
Call to Praise and Worship:
- God has created us in his image for the purpose of being in relationship with him. Let us worship our heavenly Father as we acknowledge to whom we belong.
- Jesus has bought us out of Satan's grasp. Worthy is the lamb who was slain to receive power and honor and glory.
- The Holy Spirit is our source of power and victory. We worship the Holy Spirit as we allow him to fill us and move through us.
- The world of God is powerful and effective sharper than any two-edged sword. Let us praise God for the power and authority in his word.
- Pray that the Barrville Mennonite Church will be a place of salvation, healing and deliverance for many.
- Pray that we will grow in our intention and passion to live as disciples of Jesus. Pray that it will be our deepest desire to learn all we can about Jesus and follow him in every area of our life.
- Pray for an outpouring of the gifts of the Spirit and that every person will understand their place of value in the body of Christ.
- Pray that we will live in unity. Pray that we will seek the good of everyone else in the body and the growth of the body of Christ.
- Pray that we will be more effective in reaching some of the 2,500 - 3,000 unchurched children and youth in Mifflin County. Pray for more help in the children's Sunday School and for a consistent group of at least 10 children and 4 youth on a regular basis.
- Pray that the power of God will move among us in reaching the unsaved around us. Pray for the unsaved families, Barrville community, Mifflin County and around the world. Pray that we will be useful in bringing at least 10 unsaved people to faith in Jesus this year.
