Prayer bullets

GEN members, the message below comes from Don & Joanna Madlena, who worked with Douglas County's Go Tell Crusade, and who continue to email area churches with prayer requests. They've sent out a special prayer request for jobseekers this week; read on.

Dear Community Prayer Team,

We are inviting you to be a part of our Community Prayer Team. What does that look like? Well, we are not sure yet; however, we would like to start by sending out Community Prayer Bullets, kind of like we did with the GoTell Prayer Bullets, but broader in scope. These will be little prayer reminders and urgent prayer requests, from you our local Church Family, that we will shoot out via email to you as soon as we know of them. Yes, Bullets at the speed of Prayer! Cute huh, but seriously, God knows our prayers before we even pray them, so there really isn't anything faster than Prayer. What a wonderful vehicle or tool, so to speak, to get urgent prayer requests quickly into the hands of Prayer Partners, Intercessors, Prayer Warriors, etc. to surround the Throne of Grace with sweet incense, the Prayers of the Saints. They will be sent out once or several times a day or maybe just once a week, as they are sent in to us by you. Please pass them along to other prayer partners and send us their emails and we will plug them in as well. And of course, we will prayerfully and carefully review each Prayer Request for content and confidentiality (please let us know), so not all requests will be sent out but will be prayed over.

In His Service,
Don Madlena


Here is your prayer bullet:
* Praise God for the miners in Chile being rescued after 69 days trapped in a mine. This is being hailed as a modern day miracle. The miners and their families are giving all the glory to God. Pray for complete healing mentally, emotionally and physically for all the miners and that many around the world would see God's hand through this miracle.


Here is your reminder bullet:

*Joblessness, we do have the God’s Employment Network on Monday evenings at 6:30 at First Presbyterian Church. Great support—practical and spiritual—for job seekers. - Barnabas Sprinkle


Also, please remember that FPC has Stephen Ministers (lay-people who are trained to offer faith-based support) who are available to pray with you every Monday evening, from 5:45 to 7 pm, in the First Presbyterian Church parlor. No advance notice is needed; just seek them out, and they will gladly join in prayer with you for any concerns you have.
