Please pray…
*For unity among all of our workers—within teams and between teams that will be working together.
*For God to use the Living Hope Staff to minister effectively to the families of Northeast Minneapolis and to the youth groups serving with us
*For each of the youth serving with us:
·         That the Lord would do more than we can ask or imagine through these teens surrendered to Him
·         That God would prepare their hearts and reveal Himself to them in new ways on their mission trip. 
·         That they will be challenged and encouraged to go home and make disciples!
*Pray for the logistics of these ministry programs.  Especially pray that we will have good weather for our ministry in the park!  Pray for safety and for programs to run smoothly.


Weekly Ongoing Ministry:

Faith In Action: (Monday nights) A leadership development program for 6th-12th grade students.  Pray that these 10 students will have the courage to surrender all to Jesus and do hard things for His glory!  Pray for the leaders: Alyssa, Frank, and Sheila

Girls Bible Study: (Wednesday nights) Girls in 6th-12th grade will dream about a God-centered future as we study Proverbs 31.  One of our main aims will be teaching basic Bible study skills.  Pray that God will grow His daughters and that He will draw young women who are lost to Himself.  Pray for the leaders: Alyssa and Sheila

Relational Ministry: Throughout the summer, we desire to continue building relationships with children, youth, parents, and other adults in this community.  Some of this will happen through service projects and events, but much of it will happen through phone calls, home visits, and unexpected encounters.  Pray that we will be good stewards of our time and energy and pour ourselves out where God would have us.

Provisions: Pray that God will provide for the financial and material needs of Living Hope, of each staff member, and of each youth group serving with us.  Pray that He will raise up new financial partners with this ministry.  Also pray for those in our community who are struggling to make ends meet.  Pray that the Church will be able to take on its God-given role of caring for the needs of the poor.



Praises:
*Please take time to rejoice with us for the opportunity He has given us to know Him, adore Him, and be His ambassadors in this community!  He is so good!
*Praise Him for the opportunity to do ministry in public places like Jackson Park. 
*Praise Him for the churches and youth groups who are giving of themselves in huge ways to serve Jesus through serving us and the families of Northeast Minneapolis.
*Praise Him for the provisions He has already given.
