Focus Topic: Unity/Peace

Focus Team Member: Melanie Greco

Focus Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12/Philippians 4:6-8

We were reminded through yesterday’s message that we all have different gifts and that God calls us all to function differently within the local church. As we focus our praying today on unity, let’s pray that these men and women who are serving the people of Rwanda this week would be aware of their gifting and free to flow in that while allowing the others on the team to do the same. God promises that when we come to him in prayer, petition, and thanksgiving that he will flood us with a peace that passes our earthly understanding! As our team prepares for a week of camp, let’s trust that God will flood them with the peace they need to take them through the week.

Prayer: Oh God we thank you for creating each of the ten people of this Rwanda missions team! You have placed inside each of them gifs and abilities that are needed desperately throughout this trip. We pray that you would allow this team to flow in unity. Allow each of them to identify and flow in their gifts while being completely humbled by watching their team mates do the same! God knit these men and women together just as you knit our bodies together, causing each system to depend on the other. We also pray that today and throughout the remainder of the trip that you would pour out the peace you promise in Philippians 4:6-8, a peace that passes all of their earthly understanding! As students step foot on the grounds of the camp on Tuesday, let the reality of this peace flood their hearts, break down walls, and reach places that have been unreachable! We give our team to you to watch over guard and protect. Hide them today under the shadow of your wing. Keep them safe and healthy. In Jesus’ Name! Amen

Easton and I are praying for each of you as you give selflessly of yourselves and go to great lengths to spread the Gospel of Jesus. We are believing that lives will be touched and transformed into a life with God as each of them come face to face with the truth that Jesus loves them so immensely that He died just for them. You guys are awesome!
