"…to the praise of the glory of His grace…" Ephesians 1:6

Prayer Week – Thursday Prayer Helps

    Please be in prayer for getAHEAD

Pray for gospel interactions with parents; Pray for the families that we would build relationships through getAHEAD that lead to families being saved. Pray especially for Kailah, Abby, Raymond and Aiden’s mom, who expressed interest in coming to church this Sunday. Pray that God would bring families to the program who are hungry for love and for the truth of God’s word.
Pray for kids to understand the Gospel
Pray for us to manage the program well so that kids are able to benefit from it academically, relationally, and most importantly, spiritually
Pray for the Floor Times when we walk through the stories of the OT with the kids; pray the kids would see how the OT all points to Jesus; Pray for the Floor Time leaders as they teach through the Old Testament, drawing out applications about God’s character and the promise and fulfillment of Jesus. Pray for soft hearts, for good questions from the kids and for wise answers from the teachers. Pray for the oldest class as their Floor Time, out of immediate necessity, is more focused on conflict resolution, loving other people, anger management, and how the gospel answers all of these problems.
Pray for the Lord to add more kids to getAHEAD; Pray for wisdom as we add kids to the program, that we would know how to integrate them most effectively and how to use the staff we have in the way that would be most beneficial.

Pray for the teachers and volunteers that they would serve with God’s strength and for His glory, and that their love and continual patience would reflect Christ.
Pray for the students that they would learn to care for and help one another as a getAHEAD family.
Pray for logistical and financial considerations, for money for snacks, school supplies, art supplies, transportation expenses, and teacher salaries.
Pray that God would provide more laborers and more space in which they can labor.

Courtney Martin [One thing I want to pray for this year for myself is that the Lord will teach me his peace and teach me not to be anxious. I even find myself worrying that somehow God won’t provide the things I need for spiritual growth – the challenging fellowship or the conviction from his Word or the encouragement of his closeness. How can I forget his faithfulness and that his mercies are new every morning? ]

Maybe somewhere we can speak Spanish… Maybe East Asia… The Lord knows.  The Lord has graciously given me a part time job as intern for neighborhood outreach and as director over our fatherless mentoring ministry… I’d appreciate your prayers that I would be faithful to labor diligently in my job and studies and to be faithful in loving Emily well. Lastly, be praying for grace for Emily to enjoy her job, teaching her K-6 graders Spanish and loving her fellow teachers well… We love you and miss you much!]

Rachel Winn [I’m beginning the second half of my sophomore year at the University of Tulsa, studying Economics and Finance. I will be volunteering with getahead in the spring, working part-time at Charleston’s, and staying involved in various organizations on campus. I think the biggest issues I’ve been dealing with lately haven’t been as much to do with me, as with people I’m closest too. I’m sure you know about the health issues my dad has been having for the last year especially. It was hard to deal with seeing him constantly degenerate this semester. I also found out about a month ago that Patrick has Hodgkin’s lymphoma, so he will be having chemo throughout this semester. Really what I need prayer for the most is trusting God even when things are difficult, and knowing that there is so much more than just this life. 2 Corinthians 4:17 has been in my mind a lot. And on an earthly level, just being able to do well in school and manage my time well.]
Amy Witt  [I would appreciate prayer for deeper intimacy with the Lord, the grace to pray more and more, and direction for the summer.]
