HOLD THE ROPE for November 16, 2020
Praise and Thank the Lord for –
· The chapter’s virtual live event held last weekend!
· The magnificence of glory of our great God
· The testimony of a parent expressed to us in regard to our virtual Good News Club® — so grateful for this ministry
· The truth that our God has all things under His righteous control
· His wondrous provision during the “Hope is Rising” live event
Please pray with me for –
· Our plans to produce a virtual Christmas party club
· The restart of Good News Club in mid-January through April – pray that children and families will be eager to restart at that time
· The possibility of doing a Teaching Children Effectively™ Level 1 class via Zoom – interested people should contact Val
· The final Good News Club meetings this week
· The production of “Missions Ignite!” for our local chapter website – sharing the stories of missionaries with children in short, five to six-minute segments – hope to have this going by the end of January and beginning with the true story of Cameron Townsend, the founder of Wycliffe Bible Translators
· Al Blackburn’s continued strengthening and total recovery
· The leadership of CEF – ask the Lord to protect this ministry; pray for the international board of trustees asking the Lord to impress upon these men and women His righteous desires for this vital ministry – many issues need to be wisely resolved and cared for
· The chapter’s November financial needs – He has been so faithful through the years, for which we are eternally grateful. In order to meet all obligations, we will need $9,000 by November 30 – He is able. If you would sense God’s leading to give, please go to the chapter website (www.cef3rivers.org) and click on the “Donate Now” button found on the opening page.
· The children who live in North Korea
· The folks at “Hope is Rising” who requested copies of DYWW booklets – ask the Lord to use this great resource to bring many to Himself – also keep in prayer our Florida contact who is offering these booklets to her pastor – may His will be done
· Continued safety for those involved in this ministry – particularly keep in prayer our chapter’s one home club
· Wisdom for our local churches and leadership during these days of lockdown and Christmas
· Val’s ongoing ministry of “Good News TV” on the CEF YouTube channel called U-NITE – pray many families and children will view these broadcasts and turn to the Lord Jesus for forgiveness and eternal life
· Safety during the Thanksgiving holiday
Through your prayers, you pay a vital role in this ministry – thanks so very much taking time to talk to our Heavenly Father on behalf of the children and families. Mike
