Jubilee Verse for the Week
Psalm 107: 19, 20
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
He sent out His word and healed them;
he rescued them from the grave.
-Pray for persons who are seeking God’s touch of healing. Pray
specifically for John Bender, Michele Delp, Ev Detweiler, Bill
Freed, Ronnie Knechel, Stacey Knechel, Ann Landes, Molly
Worner, and Peter Zucca.
-Danny Canaviri will leave on Friday for Saipan, Guam, to work
with Mennonite Disaster Service for 5 weeks, helping with clean-up
from the damage left by a typhoon. Pray for God’s hand of mercy
to be upon Danny’s travels and work. Pray also for God’s light to
shine brightly on those who the work team will be helping.
-Please keep in your prayers the ongoing work of the Peter
Powerhouse Foundation and the Shepherd’s Village as they
continue to find ways to connect with persons in need. Pray that
the work of their organizations would fulfill the needs of the people
they touch and would also point them directly to Jesus Christ as the
source of their strength.
-Pray for persons who are in the midst of vocational changes or are
looking for gainful employment. Pray for God’s hand of guidance
and sustenance to be upon them as they seek employment that meets
their needs.
