#7: August:
Pray for: Life-change. In 2011 we are asking God to do the unexplainable in our church as a whole and in our individual lives. Ask Him to reveal areas that have not been surrendered to Him and to help you no longer be conformed “to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:2)
If God has changed you this year and you would like to share your story with the church, contact Stephanie Cannon.
*********************
#8: September:
Pray for: God to raise up leaders for ministry. We believe that God is calling many people into some sort of ministry. Ask God to raise up these men and women and give them clarity on His direction for their lives. Pray for the leadership that is also here at FBCL.
If you feel God leading you into ministry, we’d love to walk with you through this journey. Contact Daniel Godfree for info about upcoming mentorship opportunities.

Pray for: Your unique ministry outside of these church walls. Ask God how He would like you to serve others in your day-to-day life.

Pray for Bright Beginnings Weekday Preschool, Loganville Community Ministry Village, Blessing Baskets Service, Journey to Bethlehem, Celebrate Recovery, and our Food Pantry. Please pray for those leading those ministries as well as the people who have been and will be impacted by them.
