Will you join The Community leadership team and family in our prayer challenge? It goes through Monday, December 6th as we seek God for wisdom, open doors and changed lives. This is tied to the beginning of some new work and The Community Dream Center is coming our way soon. Again, will you pray?
This began as our leadership team was talking about all the blessings we have seen from God and the direction that He is taking us. Let me give you a bit of guidance as we pray today.
Ask for direction ...

We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.

Ask for greater opportunity to serve ...
1 Chronicles 4:10 NLT
He (Jabez) was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!" And God granted him his request.

Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense! For you will soon be bursting at the seams. Your descendants will occupy other nations and resettle the ruined cities.
Father, we come to you begging that this time will draw us so much closer to you and give the resources to touch more and more lives for you. Please remove our own will and influence and replace it with you and your direction. Thank you for wisdom and direction. Thank you for the lives you will change through the opportunities you provide and the doors you will open for us. Please expand our influence so more people will know you and find their dreams rebuilt by your grace. Thank you for each person who have committed to this time of pray. We look forward to all you are going to do! In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
