Just a couple of things to remember in prayer over the incoming days… Enniskillen Youth for Christ are running Project 32 from the 24th of July to the 2nd of August.
The programme is jam-packed! The team will be in two.42 (EYFC drop-in centre) in the evenings as well as running a couple of kids clubs, visiting hospital wards and litter-picking. The week will be wrapped up with a bit of outreach in the town centre, the mannafest band will be playing and the kids can have a go at a climbing-wall for free!
Please do pray for the team, the locals as well as those who are officially on the team. Pray for the leadership, they obviously have a clear vision, pray that they would run with it. Pray for each team member, that they would throw themselves into the work and not hold back. Pray for those who are hosting, thank God for them!
Pray for God’s favour as the team reach out to those who don’t know Jesus, particularly when they’re going into areas where there’s little Christian influence. Pray for the kids that they’re going to meet in the hospital, that they would see something of Jesus in each and every team member. Above all else ask God for Salvation this summer!

prayers to make poverty history July 21, 2010

God of the just weight
and the fair measure,
let me remember the hands
that harvested my food, my drink,
not only in my prayers
but in the market place.
Let me not seek a bargain
That leaves another hungry.
(Janet Morley Christian Aid; pp149 Harvest for the World compiled by Geoffrey Duncan © Canterbury Press 2002, 2004)
To the countries where food is scarce,
mercy Lord, while there is still time.
To the countries where crops have failed,
rescue Lord, while there is time.
To countries where people are fearful,
security Lord, while there is time.
In the countries where we have plenty,
set our hearts on sharing this time.
In countries where we feel in control,
set our minds on justice at this time.
In countries where we forget those in need,
set our prayers on Africa at this time.
Amen
(Peter Graystone/Christian Aid; pp 133 Blessed Be Our Table; compilation © 2003 Neil Paynter)
