Perspective Big 6

Hey team! I just wanted to post an update on the progress of our Perspectives class. Thank you so much for being willing to pray for this effort. Thursday, June 24 (tomorrow) our coordination team is meeting to begin working on what is called "The Big 6". These are the six main things that we need to have completed before they let us have a class. All six are due before mid September. Please pray for us as we meet and please pray for these six things:

Coordination Team - We have a solid start on this but are still in need of some volunteers.
Budget - This is a difficult one. Kristie Gerber will be doing a lot of work in this area. She is a vital member of our team. Please pray for her.
Course Plan - A weekly plan that includes worship, prayer, announcements, review, activities, and the instructor.
Prayer Strategy - We always need prayer! You guys are awesome!
Recruitment & Promotion Strategy - Please continue to pray that God would fill our class.
Syllabus - Pray that God would send us the right instructors and that our class would build the body of Christ. May we all become "World Christians"

Churches of Bluffton IN

I Timothy 2:1-8
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time. And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles. I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.

I've been thinking about this scripture since I listened to Jim Cymbala's message on prayer. What would happen in Bluffton Indiana if our churches were enflamed with prayer. We know that God is preparing laborers and we know that his eye is on our community. Let us together pray that the Christian's in our community would be united in prayer for God's glory. May our churches both individually and collectively driven to prayer.

Here's a helpful link to get a list of the churches in Bluffton:

A House of Prayer for All Nations

Greeting Perspective Prayer Partners,

We came across a very moving sermon by Jim Cymbala on the importance of Prayer. Hopefully you can open the website by double clicking the above attachment. If that doesn't work, try right clicking the below link and clicking on 'opening the hyperlink'. It's approximately 50 minutes, but well worth your time. Praise God and Pray always!
