Our Family Pastor Carrie Nault is teaching 4th grade science, and one of the things the kids learn is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy. Think of an engine revving up, but until the car is in gear it's going nowhere. Potential energy. But put the car in gear and vroom! Kinetic energy.
We're waiting for God to convert all the potential energy in The Jar into kinetic energy. Here's how you can pray.
1. First and foremost, we have a couple of candidates for #9 in the building almost every week. Pray that one of them gives his life to Christ. ( #9 would be the ninth person saved by Jesus in The Jar this year.)
2. Pray that God brings fruit from our meeting with three other couples Thursday night. We are discussing laying the ground work for a tiny home community for the chronically homeless.
3. Pray for Michael's ministry in the school and Carrie's ministry in the community as our "other hats" start bringing more people into The Jar.
4. Pray for the planning of our morning gathering that will start on Sunday, January 7th 2024. We also hope to start streaming by then, so we'll let everyone know when they can catch us online.
5. Praise God for the uptick in giving at our weekly gatherings. This month we are averaging about $75/week. Doesn't sound like much, but we were only at about $20/week in March!
6. Praise God that even before a publicity blitz, Michael's book and TV show are doing well. Pray that people's hearts are changed by the message.
7. Family: Pray for wisdom for Anna as she contemplates a move and how God can use her art. Pray for wisdom for Caitlin as she thinks about her career. Pray for Elijah and Nathan that they continue to experience the blessings God is giving them. Pray for Michael & Carrie, too, as they learn patience and God's timing!
