*************************
During our last meeting, we shared several prayer concerns. I know that each of you has a heart for prayer and trusts that God not only hears our prayers, he also answers them. Please join me in praying for those things that God has laid on our hearts:
· That God’s church would have his heart for the Greater Orlando area
· That the church would come together in unity during this time
· That the spiritual leaders in the city would come together in cooperation; that they would set the tone for prayer and unity in the city
· That this would not be the end, but the beginning of unity and transformation in our community
I also ask that you continue to
· Cry out to God to bring this together; for us to be able to wait on him and depend on him to give us guidance and direction
· Ask God to draw out the people he has placed here and prepared to use during this time; he is the multiplier of the fish and the bread
· Allow God to build the momentum, to build the fire. Only he can bring this about, not human effort.
Please, if you have any questions or would just like to discuss prayer for the Orlando Festival, feel free to call me (407/846-8300). I look forward to seeing God work in our city as together we humble ourselves and give our hearts to him.
In Christ,
