HOW TO USE THIS PRAYER GUIDE
Thank you for joining the Greater Boston Baptist Association in this next 100 Days of Prayer. Each week we will be
making available this prayer guide so that you can be part of an amazing network of prayer warriors committed to
praying for the more than 100 churches, missions and church plants in our Association. Each day we will also be
sending an email at 8:00 a.m. with one church to pray for that day. We hope that you will commit to pray for the church,
the requests and the leaders indicated. If the Lord leads, consider sending a card or an email letting the church know
you have prayed for them. This would be so encouraging and give them a sense of our commitment in praying for the
important ministry they are doing in their context and their community. Thank you for joining us.

$20,000. Ask the Lord to work through his people to eliminate this deficit.
♦ We are emphasizing "Give This Christmas Away" during the Advent season this December. Pray for our church
family to focus on showing Christ's love through actions as well as words. We will also offer Free Christmas Gift
