Church Unseen Backup Team, please pray: 

1. That those part of our church would be strengthened with all power, according to God’s glorious might, and that this would result in a great deal of endurance and patience with joy. Also, that we would give thanks to God the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. (Colossians 1:11-12)

2. That in the Sunday morning service, Bible Fellowships, Sunday School classes, and children’s church, that the Bible teachings can be understood and applied, that hearers will find delight in God’s Word, that God will incline hearts to trust in and obey him, and that God would protect us all from being distracted from the truths taught. 

3. That God would produce must lasting fruit in and through our Iron Man/Woman teams. 

4. That God would created within us the desire to be ambassadors for Christ, as we talked about in the 5/14 sermon. 

5. That God would lead and guide Daniel and Shannon Farlin in their ministries, and that he would produce much lasting fruit through them. 

6. That God would work in us to be praying, caring, sharing people, living on mission. 

7. That God would enable undertrained pastors around the world to receive training from ministries like Network Beyond. 

8. May we spend time in prayer. “God’s calling for your church is too important to neglect, and it’s too important to take on without the power of the Spirit. Ask God to so fill the life of your church with His Spirit that your community notices a difference. Ask Him to equip you for the role He has called you to play in His plan of redemption.” (From the book, Multiply: Disciples Making Disciples, by Francis Chan, with Mark Beuving)

9. For leaders of the towns in Kearney co., to lead with wisdom and according to God’s will. 

10. That God would supply an Administrative Assistant for our church. 

11. Any other requests that emerge from your Bible Fellowship, Iron Man/Woman team, or family.

Please remember to check in with the office when planning for groups to meet in the church building so we can put you on the calendar. We have had several instances recently where more than one group planned to use the same room. We want to accommodate everyone as best we may, but planning ahead is key!

MEFC is once again looking for a part time administrative assistant. Please contact the office if you can help!
