My Prayers for Rock Bridge: August 2010

I've been saddened by how my prayers lack persistence which probably shows I lack the "desire" or the passion for what I am asking.  God promises to give us what we ask when our desires are real and for His glory.  So help me pray persistently for things that glorify God. Here are my current (not comprehensive) prayers for our church:

• For the spirit of mammon ("more" stuff) to be broken and a spirit of generosity unleashed
  
  
  
  • For an unprecedented special offering in December
  
  
  • Doubling our missions giving in 2011.
  
  
  
  


• For our people to take a risk in God's direction


• For the # of adults small groups in our church to double (~200)


• For several people in our church to become missionaries in another country


• For us to have an incredible baptism celebration with lots of changed lives and eternities on Sept. 19th


• For our church to make disciples (=people who follow Jesus; standby for next message series!) who make disciples.
