Praise God for sending Jesus with His loving message of salvation in the gospel. Ask God to keep us focused on Christ throughout this holiday season. Pray we will grow in awareness of our need for Christ and in our gratitude for all He has done for us. Pray for opportunities for us to maximize this Christmas season to introduce others to who Jesus is and their need for His grace. Pray for the lost to recognize their need of a Savior and for God to lead them to faith. Pray we will all represent Jesus and His love to a lost and hurting world.

Brook Hills Jail & Prison Ministry Teams

This week we are praying for our jail and prison ministry teams as they seek to advance the gospel and make disciples among the incarcerated in Birmingham City Jail, Jefferson County Jail, and St. Clair Prison, and among those recently released from prison through Shepherd’s Fold and L.I.F.E. Tech transitional centers. We are also praying for The Church Behind Bars.

Day 1: Pray for God to be glori ed by our jail and prison ministry teams as they proclaim the Word of Life and sow gospel seeds into the lives of the incarcerated.

Day 2: Pray, upon hearing the Word, the Holy Spirit would convict unbelievers in these facilities to trust in Christ for their salvation and would encourage existing believers in their faith.

Day 3: Pray for the teams that minister weekly in Jefferson County Jail and Birmingham City Jail. Pray for God to sustain these faithful seed sowers when their short time with inmates appears fruitless and that they would trust Him to water the seeds that have been planted in faith and bring new life.

Day 4: Pray for the Brook Hills-led worship service that takes place in St. Clair Prison once a month on Wednesdays, and for the ongoing discipleship relationships with those who are facing years of imprisonment. Pray for Brook Hills’ member and prison Chaplain, Jeremy Miller, as he continues to love and serve the men of St. Clair prison.

Day 5: Pray for the Church behind bars in prisons throughout Alabama. Pray for those who now know Christ to proclaim the gospel daily with their words and actions and will be identi ed as followers of Christ by their love for one another. Pray for the Church to multiply as incarcerated men and women make disciples.

Day 6: Pray for God to call out more members of our Faith Family to be a light in local jails and prisons, the darkest areas of our city, and for those who hear His call to respond in joyful obedience and fearless faith.

This week we are celebrating how the Global Offering has allowed Brook Hills to send and support a team of Church Planters, Long-Term missionaries, and Mid-Term missionaries to work among an unreached people group called the Hui. As a reminder, the Global Offering is how our Faith Family fuels our mission efforts each year. Through the Global Offering this year our Faith Family not only was able to put a team among the Hui, but the Global Offering opened up doors into Hui villages and homes for the gospel to be shared. Thank you for giving to the Global Offering. Join us this week as we pray for the Hui and our team that is serving among them. To learn more about the Hui visit pray4hui.com.

Day 1: Praise God for the nine members of our Faith Family who are currently serving Mid-Term and Long-Term on our East Asia Church Planting Team. Pray for each of them to be encouraged this week and be able to share the gospel boldly and without hindrance.

Day 2: Thank the Lord for opening up doors into Hui villages and homes. Thank the Lord for the Global Offering that allowed us to send Short-Term teams of students and adults this year to live in Hui villages and homes. Pray for the Hui families who heard the gospel for the first time. Pray for God to use those encounters to draw people to Himself.

Day 3: Pray for God to continue to provide sustainable ways for our Church Planting team members to remain in East Asia. Pray for the new business that has been started. Pray for God to make the business pro table and to be shining light in the community.

Day 4: There are around 15 million Hui spread throughout East Asia. To be Hui is to be Muslim. There are no Hui churches and very few believers. Pray for a movement of God among the Hui. Ask God to bless the Global Offering so we can continue to contribute to church planting efforts among the Hui.

Day 5: There are other families from Brook Hills who are in the process of joining our East Asia Church Planting team. Pray for God to continue to call out more members of our Faith Family to go.

Day 6: Pray for God to be honored and glorified among the Hui. Pray for God to use our East Asia team to expand His Kingdom. Pray for the Spirit to help them.
