Day of Praise

Mo, 06/02/14, Easter Day #44, "Day of Praise"

2 Thessalonians 3:1 - "Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you."

Long ago, St. Paul, asked others to pray for him and his partners in spreading the Word of God. Today, I have a similar prayer request. Would you all please pray for my daughters and their partners in spreading the Word of God?

My oldest, Calley, is in Apalachicola, Florida, and Cassidy is in Port St. Joe, Florida. My son, Caden, and I dropped off Calley and Cassidy on the way back from Disney on Saturday. In Apalachicola, Calley is living in a house with a missionary team of college girls who work jobs and become a part of the summer community so they can meet people in normal everyday situations and offer the good news of Jesus Christ. In Port St. Joe, Cassidy is living in a house with a missionary team of college girls who go out and do various service projects so they can meet the needs of people and also offer the good news of Jesus Christ.

Here's a prayer you could pray to God for them, or, of course, you could lift up other prayers from your heart.

Dear Heavenly Father,
So that the good news of your Son may spread to others, watch over, surround, protect, empower, and loosen the tongues of Calley and Cassidy DeGreen and the teams of girls that they're serving with. Please bless the boys teams there too. Help them all to know your presence in their unique ways of serving the people who both permanently live in and who also are on vacation in those communities over the next two months so that those people are changed forever with the good news of the person and saving work of Jesus Christ. I ask this in Jesus's name, Amen.

Thank you for praying for my daughters!

How can I pray for you today? Please reply.

Praise God!
