Since We've Been Praying

At our prayer meeting on the 12th we discussed several different things. First we had several things that we need to continue to pray for:

.1. guidance
2. volunteers
3. leaders to be raised up from the apartment complex
4. the ability to meet needs there
5. eventually the ability to reach other complexes in ourcommunity

Second we discussed putting a booth together for the ministry fair. A few of the things we will need or try to include will be:

1.pictures(kids,apartments,etc.)
2.a tri-fold
3.a needs list(things people from church could bring to help)
4.sign up sheet for prayer warriors
5.maybe a time line sheet for pastand future events at the apartment

Some of the different ideas were:

1.target a specific population or problem
2.focus on one building at a time
3.host dinners at the apartment maybe asking residents we have gotten to know to co-host
4.have a storytelling time
5.have a lending library at the apartment then trips to the public library for responsible book borrowers
6.donation box for books at the church
7.blanket the complex with prayer

I believe we have several groups interested in doing a joint project for the missions project on Nov.8. I have been very encouraged by the new interest in country garden. My prayer is that God will continue to give us guidance for this ministry and that we will allow God to have the glory for everything that occurs.
