Prayer Requests for Bellaire/SW Loop A.C.T.S. – 12/08/08
(Area Churches Together in Service)

Dear Prayer Warriors,

How marvelously blessed we have been this fall! Even with the interruption of IKE, our faith community has come together to pray, train, mentor, work and have fellowship. God is Good!
Please lift these prayers of thanksgiving and praise, as well as the petitions for additional power and strength, in your daily devotions as individuals, and as you meet in prayer teams and in small groups. God will bless your faithfulness.

Prayers of thanksgiving and praise for:

• a safe workday at Shearn and for the completion of all the revised projects planned for that day; and for volunteers who have continued to water plants so that they will thrive.

• the amazing show of support for the St Nick Day at Shearn, and that for the first time in the history of the school, all 23 classes had volunteers.

• the leadership and organizational skills of Becky and Hazel in managing the volunteers and in lending support to the fall festival.

• all the mentors who have been faithful to share their talents and time with these precious children at Shearn and Gordon Elementary.

• the direction/support of Ms Epps and Mr. Buck and for the stellar help of Ms Healy

Prayers of request for:

• more mentors to join the ranks in January for both schools.

• all the mentors to participate in the mentor training that Mission Houston is offering.

• additional funds to be donated to Mission Houston so projects that are planned for the spring at both schools can be completed.

• schedules to be resolved so that all the planning and necessary preparations can take place in a timely fashion, for work days, teacher appreciation events, parties for the children and recognition for volunteers.

• that every child at Shearn will be prepared to go to college and have that opportunity (offered by Mr. Buck)

Prayers for protection for:

• all the children, staff, teachers and mentors at Gordon and Shearn Elementary schools

• all the parents, grandparents and guardians of these elementary children

• both facilities and structures – that no harm will come to these premises

• all the members of the churches who participate – that God will bless them mightily for their goodness and efforts on behalf of these precious children.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow! I thank Him every day for you. In Christ’s Name, Karen
