Here is an update from Neil and Rita with Child Evangelism Fellowship:
We are grateful for your partnership in the Gospel through prayer. Find requests below.
Prayer Requests:
National Directors Institute starts this Thursday at our International Headquarters here in Missouri (Aug 8-23). Pray for the 17 national directors from around the world—safe travels, good health, and that through classes and informal conversations they will grow in their leadership skills and spiritually. Also pray for the instructors as they prepare and present and for the interpreters (French, Portuguese, and Thai languages).
Pray for God’s provision of resources (prayer, finances, staff) for CEF at International Headquarters and worldwide.
Our International Board of Trustees will meet at International Headquarters September 11-13. Pray for new Board chair David Cook from Great Britain.
Pray for summer ministry going on across the U.S.—backyard 5-Day Clubs, Camp Good News, fair ministry, and more. Pray for God’s strength for our staff and the teens who were trained to serve. Pray that as children here the Gospel message, many will be saved and grow in Christ. “… lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest” (John 4:35).
Praise:
Praise for our President Jeremiah, who has a heart for the Lord, His Word, and the salvation of children around the world. Ask God to strengthen and encourage him and Sarah as they travel domestically and internationally this summer and fall (Sri Lanka, Korea, Chicago, California, Honduras, and Brazil).
Praise for a time of rest and refreshment Neil and I have planned for Aug 26 to Sep 2.
