Around a dozen of our teenagers, led by Matthew, will be involved June 2-6 in their annual mission work with MIssion Denton. They will be conducting what are essentially backyard Bible clubs in various places. Let’s be praying for them over the next few days as God prepares each of them personally for this effort, and remember to pray for them during the week itself.

“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” -- James 5:16  (NIV)

Pray for the spiritual preparation and development of the team. (1 Peter 3:15)
 
Pray for unity among the team.  (Philippians 2:2)
 
Pray for the flexibility of the mission team.  (Acts 16:6-10)
 
Pray that the Holy Spirit would go before them and prepare the hearts of the lost.  (John 16:8)
 
Pray for the teens to be bold in speaking about Christ.  (Acts 4:31)
 
Pray that this week of serving will create hearts burdened for the lost among our teens.  (Romans 10:1)
 
Please pray for divine protection and safety as they travel and serve in various locations.  (2 Thessalonians 3:2-3)
 
Pray that this mission team will bear much fruit in this good work.  (Col. 1:10)
