Pray these words over our cities…
We invite you to pray for these items whenever you have the opportunity to pray. Each day at 10:02 am/pm, we invite you to join a growing group who pause briefly wherever they are to pray for God to call out workers for the harvest in the manner of Luke 10:2 This week join us in praying for the Kingdom of God to be experienced in the city of Vancouver and for the words of this passage to become the focus of every leader in our area.
Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9:36 NASB
Pray with Thanksgiving…
We are thankful for the launching of the new Kid Rock program at the Harris Road Coop in Pitt Meadows that saw over 70 involved in this second site of outreach for Church on the Rock. The church is finalizing the prayer walking of Maple Ridge with plans to launch a new small group this fall. Pray for the planters preparing to come as they develop financial support for the journey ahead.
We are thankful for the outreach activities conducted at all sites of the Point this past week as they were joined by Brentwood Baptist Church in this effort. We are praying these efforts will be the beginning of relationships that will lead to the salvation of many.
We are thankful for the VBS conducted at HAN Church that saw over 40 children plus several adults involved for three nights last week as they were joined by First Baptist Church of Gentry, Arkansas. Please pray that good follow-up will result in individuals coming to Christ.
We are thankful for the 25 individuals that were baptized by Zona Cero the Saturday at Buntzen Lake. We are praying for the baptismal services planned for next weekend by Richmond Gospel Baptist Church and at Towers Baptist Church. God is moving among our churches.
We are celebrating Tim and Amy Corbin finding a place to live in the Falls Creek Area. Continue to pray for the Corbin family as they are beginning to pack up their home. Pray specifically as they are making certain they are covered for health issues during the transition between insurance coverages. Pray also for the immigration process.
We are thankful for the service and commitment of many who have come to serve in our country. We pray now for Nathan and Amy Laughlin as his company has transferred them to Phoenix by July 1st. We are thankful for their service and pray for their transition to this new opportunity.
Pray for the activity of God…
For months we have been praying for the Lord of the harvest to send out workers. Please pray for the leader from Pakistan seeking plant in Vancouver, Pray for the couple who just arrived from Argentina desiring to work with a plant in our city. Pray for the couple from Ft. Worth who desire to return home to the Fraser Valley. God is answering our prayer.
Pray for the new pastor of The Potter’s House who is seeking to sell his home and make the move to the region. Pray for the resources needed for the move and new beginning of this critical church.
Some of our church planters are in the process of immigration that requires significant resources. Pray specifically for Brad and Rhonda, The River Community, who will be meeting with lawyers on Monday to map out a plan for the future.
Pray for strength and courage for the Gen Send Mobilizers as they narrow the selection of the areas in Vancouver and on Vancouver Island they will seek to impact when their teams arrive later this month. May God give them affirmation and confidence in following the leadership of the Spirit.
Begin praying for the outreach efforts being planned all over the region as our churches join their communities in celebrating Canada Day on July 1st. Pray that in the midst of the service and engagement the servant heart of God’s people will open the door for clear presentations of the Gospel and many will come to Christ.
Pray for the Summer Youth Celebration as over 100 young people will travel to Gordom Lake for a week of fun, exploring God and relationships. Pray God will use this time to call out leaders from our city to pour out their lives in Vancouver, on Vancouver Island and across Canada.
