Praise God for His sovereignty over all history. Ask Him to grant us strength and perseverance to remain faithful when our faith is challenged. Pray He will empower us to make the most of every opportunity we have for gospel advancement. Ask God to grow our understanding of His Word, and that our grasp of it will lead to communicating it clearly. Pray for God to lead us to people with “ears to hear,” that will be receptive to the gospel. Pray God will receive great glory through our ongoing efforts to make disciples of all nations.

This week, we are praying for the Local Disciple-Making ministries at Brook Hills. This includes Preschool Ministry, Children’s Ministry, Student Ministry, College Ministry, Young Singles, and Adults. For more information about each of these areas of ministry, visit brookhills.org/local. We are also praying for FBC Trussville and Pastor Buddy Champion.

Day 1: Pray for God to continue to assemble a faithful team of regular volunteers and staff in Children’s Ministry. Pray especially that God will raise up families and Small Groups to reach out with the gospel to children throughout our city through the summer Rock The Block initiative.

Day 2: Pray for students to manage time and stress well as they learn to juggle busy schedules and make wise decisions about time. Pray for students to form healthy relationships at school so they can share the gospel through those relationships.

Day 3: Pray for college students in Birmingham to plug into authentic Christian community, to grow in their walks with Christ, and to have boldness in living out the gospel on their campuses.

Day 4: Pray for student and adult leaders serving in College Ministry to have wisdom and discernment in discipling college students. Pray for God to raise up more adult leaders who will disciple college students.

Day 5: Pray for young singles (20s/30s) to look to Christ for their satisfaction and joy, to use their singleness to serve the church and the nations, and to make life choices that honor Christ. Pray for purity as they date and pursue marriage.

Day 6: Pray for new Small Groups to start and for every individual in our Faith Family to get connected into a Small Group community and to look for opportunities to make disciples wherever they are.

This week we are praying for Rekindle Children’s Hope, serving in Cameroon. RCH is reaching many orphaned, disadvantaged, and abandoned children in villages throughout Cameroon. Their goal is to serve both the physical and spiritual needs of the children in their ministry through feeding programs, tuition for school, and after school programs connecting them to a local church effort for discipleship. To learn more about RCH visit, rchafrica.org. We are also praying for our Short-Term team serving in Nepal.

Day 1: RCH currently has 71 children in their after-school program. Pray for these children to come to know Christ and have a personal relationship with Him.

Day 2: Pray for the local volunteers and staff who work with the children at RCH on a daily basis. Pray for God to strengthen their faith as they serve. Pray for God to provide more men to volunteer and mentor the boys at the RCH program.

Day 3: Pray for George Mbunwe, RCH’s in-country program director. Pray for God to give him wisdom and steadfastness to care for the children God has appointed to him.

Day 4: Pray for God to change the hearts and lives of the children RCH is serving so that His name may be exalted among them.

Day 5: Pray for the leadership and board of RCH to have a vision for developing disciples as they care for the children in their program.

Day 6: Praise God for the work He is doing in Cameroon through RCH and the children who are being cared for through the program. Pray for God to give RCH more opportunities to come alongside the local church and care for those in need.
