Prayer Focus - Thursday, October 13, 2011

Focus Topic: The Joy of Serving

Focus Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:9 / Psalm 40:8

Focus Team Member: Diana Franks

David so wanted to build a temple for the Lord. Yet, his son, Solomon is the one who accomplished that feat. But, not without the help of the people. 1 Chronicles 29 tells the story of how the nation of Israel gave and gave and gave towards the cost of the temple. Offerings of gold, coins, silver, bronze and much more were given. Then, in verse 9, we read that the people rejoiced because they could give - freely and wholeheartedly. That’s what we want our team to feel today. The true joy and freedom of giving, wholeheartedly. As they minister the programs that they’ve already been doing this week, we want the sweet joy of Jesus to fill them.

Father, fill our team with the joy of serving! Let them know, in their heart of hearts, that they simply can’t “out-give” You. As they pour out themselves into others, You fill them with more of Your presence. Foster in our team camaraderie, laughter, and joy as they travel from place to place sharing the Gospel. Give them extra strength as this is their last full day of ministry. Lord, be with Diana today. As she serves You, give her such a sense of peace, contentment, trust, and joy. We commit our team and this day to You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Team, Ron and I have been praying for all of you that the Lord will lead you in His steps. Especially today, I've committed myself to praying for all of our missionary work within Kingsway and outside of our church! Looks like you are also having a great time! Blessings to all! In Christ, Rinaldo and Sheryl (HA!)
