Hey Prayer Warriors,

Prayer:

Everyone needs to focus their prayers on all of the Good News Clubs and the schools they are in. We need to IGNORE the fake Satan club that was in the news.

Whenever we are about God’s work; the evil one will show up.

Praises:

For the impact the Tidewater CEF Clubs are having in our area.

For all of the hard work that our DTL’s, TL’, PC’s and Volunteers are doing each week.

Prayer request from Julie Jones:

I am a team member of the Occohannock elementary school in Northampton County, on the Eastern Shore. Last evening, the Northampton County public schools announced that the new superintendent, Dr. Jaime Cole, had resigned after only 5 months. The school board will be meeting on December 8 to appoint an interim superintendent. Dr.Cole opposed allowing GNC, or any clubs, to meet in the schools, so our Occohannock club will be meeting at Epworth United Methodist Church, which is right next door…God’s provision! We hope to start a second GNC next year at Kiptopeke Elementary School, but will need access to the school for that one, as there is no church next door.

Please pray that God will work in the hearts and minds of the Northampton county school board, as they consider who the interim superintendent will be, and, going forward, that the next superintendent would be welcoming Good News clubs into the schools.

Prayer:

Pray for our year ending fundraising event.

Current Prayers:

Pray for more principals to have a heart for GNC’S in their schools.

For the impact GNC’s will have on our public schools.

We are in a new room, with a new principal and so far that has gone well. Praise the Lord!

Prayer requests is the principal wants me to have a waiting list (after 50) to maintain good control but is basically leaving it to my discretion. I want safety… and yet everyone who wants to hear the gospel.

Pray as I reach out to a handful who have registered but never attended. Also prayer for continued opportunities to be a witness to the students, teachers and staff at the school. Thank you!

 

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope,”(1 Timothy 1:1)

“For in this hope we were saved (Jesus). Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience (Rapture).”(Romans 8:24-25)

With all that is going on in our country and around the world, our only hope is in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Yours in Christ,

Carl
