Hosting an outreach in a school rather than a church changes everything about how the outreach is done and adds dozens of potential disasters if things do not go according to plan in each school. We cannot deny that the devil will surely throw curve balls into our plans, so we desperately need a constant prayer covering. The sound system could break down (happened before), the sound technician provided by the school could have a complication, students or teachers may protest the outreaches, members of our team may become sick, and of course we need prayer for everyone who might attend and hear the Gospel.
We are only one week away from our first outreach, so I am asking you to mark your calendar and commit to pray, wherever you are, for each outreach. Few things we do have this much potential to change so many lives in a single night, or paint so large a target on our backs for the enemy. Please labor with us in prayer for the transformation of this city through these outreaches.
Here is a list of things to prayer for:
- A hedge of protection around our leadership team (Psalm 91)
- Worship Team
- Drama Team
- Promotional Team
- Administrative Team
- Speakers
- Blessing/protection for the school administrators who are allowing these events
- For the Lord to prepare the hearts of those who will be attending and hearing the Gospel (Matt 13:1-8)
- Literally pray for the sound system to work...
- Blessing/protection for the sound/light techs that the school provides
- For students to open up during the small group time at the end of each outreach
- Against persecution or protesters
- Blessing/protection for youth pastors who are promoting and/or serving at the outreach
"Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified" - 2 Thessalonians 3:1
Praying for everything you have listed!! I know God will prevail!!!
