NLC's Prayer & Fasting Day – April

Hey everybody,

Thanks for praying today!  Here’s how you can pray specifically today & all month…

1.  Pray for NLC’s Future Facility. There are two areas where we need to pray specifically in terms of NLC’s 1st Permanent Facility:

First, we need to pray for God’s wisdom with the right financing package. Banks are obviously skittish in this economy and we need God to reveal to us the right bank with the right terms, etc. Pray for wisdom for our Leadership Team & our Board of Directors.

Second, we need to pray for the 25% down-payment. ($1.2 Million).

• Pray for everyone who has made a pledge that God will provide for them to give above and beyond their regular tithes and offerings. April is Month #1 of the 6 month commitment.

• Pray for those who haven’t made a commitment yet, but will be receiving information in the mail about how they can.
• Pray for the remaining $338,000 (as of last week) that is still needed for us to reach the 25% mark!

2.  Pray for our NLC Staff. Pray for protection over staff families and marriages as we continue to walk through this season of growth, opportunity and influence as a church. Pray for wisdom in leadership decisions.

3.  Pray for “Our Communities” downtown. Palmetto Courts, Sabal Palms and Southward Village. Pray for single moms and children specifically to be lifted! We’re making a difference one family at a time! Pray for our 3rd Saturday Serve Day, April 17th! Go here for more informaiton: www.BeOrange.me

4.  Pray for our Missionaries.

• Christ for India; Jameson, Johnson and Mary Titus. Pray for  pastors in their seminary, pray for the Children in their school, pray for the pastors they’re sending out to plant churches.
• Kelly and Kathy Johnson in Kenya, Africa as they train pastors and plant churches.
• Mark & Stephanie Pyles in the Dominican Republic as they plant “Next Generation” Churches in Santiago.
• Luke & Sandy Walters in Sri Lanka. They are working to gain influence among the next generation of business leaders in that nation.

5.  The People of NLC. For provision and jobs. For promotions and miracles.  Pray for marriages to be strong & kids to be wise. Pray for favor with neighbors and family they have influenced through our Feeding Fort Myers campaign.

6.  Pray for the Following Church Planters we are Coaching right now:

• Ashley & Jamie Wilson in Lexington, KY. Sarah & I were just there for a weekend on-site. They have had a trying first year, but are surrounded by a great leadership team & are turning a corner. Pray for momentum and strength as they impact their city for Christ. www.LifeGateChurch.tv
• Taitem & Jessica Kretz in Youngstown, OH. Lifeway Community Church is 1 1/2 years old and has been growing steadily every month. Pray for Taitem as he is working full-time & pastoring the church. www.LifeWayCommunity.com
• Shane & Rachel Frasier in Lebanon, IN. Freedom Church is about a year old & God is doing an amazing thing there. Pray for continued strength as they grow. Pray for wisdom for their leadership team as well. www.freedom-church.org
