Good Morning,
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:18
One thing I constantly think about is the fact that what we can accomplish together is so much more than what we can accomplish on our own. We need each other!
And, one place we often go in considering this is the idea that with more hands and feet, there are many more things we can do. As we go about getting our own hands and feet into doing the work of the Lord, the old saying ‘Many hands make light work’ really rings true.
What if we were to add to that saying to read this way, ‘Many prayers make for more impactful work’!
I know the people of IYM are a praying people. Thank you for joining together in prayer for IYM, for our leadership, for the committees, for the camps, for wider Friends
organizations, and for each other. Our God is working in those prayers.
If I could, I would like to add some items to your prayer lists…all of some of which may already be there. As we move further into the summer, please pray for:
*Campers, counselors, staffers, and leaders of the summer camping program at Quaker Haven
*FUM Triennial that is coming soon
*Pastor’s Short Course and all of our pastors
*EFM leadership and the missionaries in the field
*Lay leaders within our churches
*Our fellow churches who are doing great work for the Lord
*Potential leaders that God is calling into ministry at all levels
*The lost…and that we will be able to lead them to know, love, and follow Jesus
