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
