Together in Word and Prayer

Bible Project Reading Plan (Week 8): Numbers 31-36; Deuteronomy 1-12; Psalms 50-56

Prayer for Missions: Pray for our IMB missionary Dr. Claire Schmidt as she continues her work in Africa. Pray that she is able to serve well the people groups she is imbedded with, both in body and soul. Ask that churches might be planted, and God’s word begin to produce much fruit.

Prayer for the World: Pray for our local public schools here in Mid-Michigan. Pray that the schools might be filled with godly teachers and good administration. Pray that the students, teachers, administrators, and parents would pursue excellence in all things. Pray that all involved see the rightful and true goal and end of education: the glory of the God who has made the world.

Prayer for Ministries: Pray for the local Life Clinic ministry as they seek to serve pregnant mothers and young mothers. Pray for both the physical and spiritual needs of the families, and pray they are open to the message of the gospel.
