Prayer Focus for the week of August 21st

New Life Church has a prayer focus each week. Our prayer focus is broken down into three categories of ministry: 1. We pray for another local church that is proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. 2. We pray for a Global Outreach Partner who is proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. 3. We pray for a ministry of New Life Church that is proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ locally.

Area Church - First Baptist Church – Gladstone, OR, Pastor Brian Early

• This Sunday morning Gladstone First Baptist is joining with two other churches in Gladstone to do service projects in the community (homes, schools, senior center, rehab center). Pray that people from the church will seek to step forward to work and to reflect God’s light to the community. 
• Pray for the preparations to launch an alternative service in the fall. Pray that it will launch effectively and that the gospel will be clearly communicated to those who need to hear it.

• Praise God for some great summer camps this summer.
• Praise God that Stephanie got to spend time serving alongside her mother and grandmother this summer.
• Pray for Stephanie while she is at a Performing Arts Camp with 25 other students as they learn a choreographed show all about LOVE. Be praying that they experience God's love; pray for energy for Stephanie, since it is the end of a long summer.
