Dear Parents,
Be encouraged. The gospel is taking root in your children's hearts like a growing, mighty oak. A few weeks ago we started reading through the book of Proverbs together as a class. As we read, each student actively listens by taking notes. We then discuss the chapter and enter into a time of prayer. Popcorn prayer consists of a period of about fifteen minutes of constant prayer. Each child may pray once, twice, or even five times during this period. Oh, what a privilege to have the freedom of prayer in school!
Below are the themes, as well as the specific prayer requests from your child's heart. Be encouraged, because the Lord is moving mountains with your little ones. May you be blessed with the reassurance that Christ is not only dwelling in your child's heart, but He is actively transforming their innermost being.
Our prayer requests:
- Christian martyrs
- Persecutors would come to know Christ
- Peace for Japan, Haiti, Egypt, and Libya
- Thank you that we are free to worship You
- Help us not to complain and to keep in mind that others may not have much
- Give us wisdom
- Family members would come to know Christ
- Forgive our sins
- Thank you for taking the blindfold off our eyes and revealing Yourself to us
- Lord, if it be your will, make the suffering in the world stop
- Courage for those that are killed because they love You
- Thank You that You are in control of everything
