Current Prayer Requests

Here are my current prayer requests as of 2/15/11.

For me:

1. Ask our Father to teach me how to pray and enjoy depending on him throughout the day.
2. Pray for my heart to be broken over sin and hungry for God and his Word.
3. That God would provide funding for me and our church as we anticipate the North American Mission Board funding going out. I’m applying to Great Commission Ministries for help in this regard.

For CrossView Church

1. April 24, 2011 will be our Easter Celebration. This will be what some church planters would formally call a “launch.” We’ve existed as a church for a while so it’s not a launch per se, but it will be our first time blitzing the community with invitations and renting a bigger space for our Sunday gathering. I’m praying for 100-150 to come and hear the gospel and be introduced to the church (who are not Christians or members of another gospel church). Please pray with us.
2. We started our first mission team and want to start 2 new ones in April. Please pray that the leadership teams would be strengthened by God and that we would engage our community well.
3. Pray for 2-3 pastor-elders to be raised up, identified, and installed. We may be starting an advisory council as a temporary plurality of voices as I make decisions until more pastor-elders are installed.
4. Pray for evangelistic fruit.  I’m going to start reading the bible one on one next week with a friend who is connected in the community and serves our target area in sports. If God changes this man to take up his cross and follow Christ, he could be the most effective missionary in our context to date.
5. Pray that our members will increasingly be on mission and that I’ll grow in leading by example.
