30 Days of Prayer and Fasting 2011 - Day 12

As we continue to pray, please be in prayer for our church leadership, staff and church board.  This time of year is when budgets are prepared and ministry is planned for several months ahead.  We want to seek God's direction for our church so that we can prepare well.

 ⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart
   and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
   and he will make your paths straight.

30 Days of Prayer and Fasting 2011 - Day 10

Today, please be in prayer for the San Diego Rescue Mission.  There are over 10,000 homeless men, women and children in San Diego and the Rescue Mission is one of the leading agencies for help and recovery.

There are many ways to pray for them and you can find out more on their website at www.sdrescue.org.  In particular, pray for the planning stages of "Sleepless in San Diego", an important event now in it's fifth year.  The strategic planning meeting will be held at the First Baptist Church of San Diego later this month.

Proverbs 22:9

 ⁹ The generous will themselves be blessed,
   for they share their food with the poor.
