PRAYER AND FASTING

FOR OUR ELDERS’ RETREAT  

As Christ established His Church, He appointed elders to shepherd God’s people by teaching believers, equipping them for ministry, and encouraging their spiritual growth. This calling of spiritual leadership plays an important role in the life of the church as a whole and in the lives of individual believers.
 
Once a year, the elders of our church set aside time for a special retreat focused on prayer and reflection on the spiritual condition and direction of the church. This year’s retreat will take place next week. Please join us in praying for God’s work in the heart of each elder:
  • For a reverent fear of God, humility, and continued growth in knowing Christ and serving Him.

  • For joy in Christ and the ability to delight in Him in every circumstance.

  • For spiritual maturity and the ability to approach every matter with wisdom, balance, and discernment.

  • For God’s wisdom and guidance in evaluating situations and making decisions.

  • For physical strength and good health for the work of ministry.

  • For the elders’ families, wives, and children.
