Women's Ministries Prayer Items June 2010

[Current month]

Effective Prayer (from the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada)
∙ An inseparable link exists between prayer and fruitful ministry, since it is through our prayers that God has chosen to unleash his power. There are seven ways to help you pray more effectively for Alliance missionaries.

Joseph & Helen Lee, Guatemala

Thousands across the region are homeless after the strike of Tropical Storm Agatha. Joseph and Helen Lee praise God that they and their church people are fine. Their sanctuary however, has been flooded.

Please pray for Guatemala and its people, especially the poor people who live close to the volcano, on the hillsides (where there have been landslides from the rain) and near the swelling rivers.
Please pray for the upcoming Latin America Chinese Alliance Missionaries’ Field Forum to be held in Panama, Jul 5-10.
Pray for Dave Peters who will be leading this forum. Pray for God’s anointing on Doug Wiebe who will be speaking, and for Judy Wiebe (Director of Alliance Care) who is attending.
Pray for a time of spiritual refreshing and renewal for all in attendance.

Bill and Diane Finnemore, Poland

Bill and Diane praise God that four women committed their hearts to the Lord as a result of the recent Women’s Encounters at two churches, and over 70 women recommitted their lives to the Lord. Praise God that the speakers did a great job sharing their testimonies and all were blessed as a result.

Pray these women will continue to grow in the faith.
Pray for Bill as he ministers at the annual biker rally where the Christian bikers will have a coffee tent set up. They hope to talk to seekers throughout this weekend.
Pray the power of God will be manifest there and for the Holy Spirit’s protection over Bill and his teammates, giving them wisdom and love for the other bikers.
