Our Backyard
Payer Update November 18th, 2021
Hello Prayer Team,
This week I would like to focus on local prayer. Not that prayer for global entities and events is not worth praying. I am convicted of the idea of “Our Backyard.”
What are the children, families, individuals, and small businesses in my community and backyard that I can hold up in prayer?
John 17: 22 – 23
“I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.”
As I strive for unity within my relationship with God, I am convinced I must also unite with those around me.
Some specifics from the Covenant Bay community this week:
Our year-round staff is heading to Camp Chestermere for a Biannual leadership conference. May we be inspired in ministry and connect with other industry leaders.
We mourn with our brothers and sisters in BC, who the floods have impacted.
As we seek ways to support our local community through God’s ministry, we pray God will guide our steps.
Please share prayer requests that have been on your heart and mind this week.
Pray together with urgency and expectation. God Bless!
