from Robert, our Homework Room Supervisor:
Pray that his relationship with the Jr and Sr High students continues to develop and that they calm down and be a bit less unruly. Pray for him to show the students how to modify their behavior in a positive, encouraging way.
from Michael:
Pray for patience and wisdom as he learns as he goes, navigating the building process,. Pray for God to send people to help with what needs to happen, and for him to keep a good attitude and perspective on everything.
from Ramon, our Youth Coordinator:
thank God for each child in our care and remember that they were given to us for a reason - to love and nurture and introduce to God and His unconditional love. Pray also for Ramon’s wife Cessilye, who is dealing with a serious leg injury. Cessilye is a gifted dancer and teaches dance - pray for complete healing.
- MRIs: Both Stacy and Ramon’s wife Cessilye have injuries that will be re-evaluated this week. Pray for complete healing for Stacy’s broken foot/torn ligament, and for the injured ligament in Cessilye’s leg.
- Our Auction/Dinner is only 2.5 weeks away. While we busy ourselves with last minute details, pray that we stay focused on the mission of honoring God through this effort. Also pray that we not focus on simply bringing in funds for the Fortress programs, but on helping tranform potential givers’ hearts.
- Our YDC staff and regular Fortress volunteers are under constant attack because of the work we do here and the difference Fortress is making. Satan hates to lose a battle, and he’s doing as much as he can to slow our efforts and depress our spirits. Please pray for a hedge of protection around each of us and our families as we continue to love the kids in this neighborhood.
- One of our YDC families has moved to Forest Hill suddenly. We’ll miss them and wish them the very best. Please pray for April, Erik, Brandon, Patrick, Nicholas, Corey, Amber and Christopher.
