sixonesix prayer

To explain six one six, I think I’ll just let you read an email I sent my team about a week ago…

One thing I’ve been convicted of recently, is how much I’m not praying for things. That isn’t to say, I’m not praying at all, but I’m maybe not bringing things before God as I need to be. I once heard it said, the degree to which you are trusting God with something is the degree to which you pray for it. So, here we go, a prayer initiative. It’s called sixonsix and it’s because we leave for Serbia on June 16th - which is the 16th of June right, therefore sixonesix, and what I’m hoping is that everyday at 6:16 everyone will pause and say a prayer for Serbia and our time there. I’m really trusting that God is going to change the world through this summer project and I want to trust Him for it and I want to be praying for it. So heres the deal, everyday at 6:16 if you’re awake in the morning, but certainly at 6:16pm take some time to PRAY.

Here’s a list for starters of things to pray for:

-God to use this summer to radically change the lives of Miska, Zuzka, and ZuZu
-God would work in the hearts of those will be ministering to
-for unity, vision, and purpose
-for fun while we’re there and as we’re preparing
-for God to bring about change in the lives of many students
-for God to bring the details together for the story of the soul outreach and that He would use it to greatly impact us and those we are ministering to
-for focus
-for love as a team, unified
-for all the details that need to come together before June 16th
-for our hearts to be delighting in Jesus, seeking Him in everything we do
-for good health, no sickness or injuries (so everyone would be able to go and remain healthy during the project)
-for support (students and our support as well)
-for financial details
-What would you add?

Here are things that my team said they are trusting God for:

Aaron - I’m trusting God to build up a movement here. Not just one, two, ten scattered students meeting with people one on one, but a growing community of believers who are excited to reach their classmates, coworkers, family, neighbors, anyone they can. A group of students so in love with God and desiring to do His will that it’s contagious.

Dara - I’m trusting God that He will continue to work in this city and all over the world because I think He is working in an amazing way if we see it or not. I am trusting God that He will raise up laborers who will carry His gospel wherever they go!

Kelly - I’m trusting God for great things here in Slovakia. That God would open the eyes of the unbeliever and that He would bring light in dark places. I’m trusting You Lord to raise up students who love you, who will desire a deeper connection with you.

Bibka - I’m trusting God that he has students out there that are seeking Him and want to know HIm and that He will continue working in their hearts so they can come to know HIm and want to serve Him and follow Him.

Carlyn - I am trusting God to use the summer project to Serbia to change Presov and Kosice, Slovakia, and the world…one person at a time! I trust that God will fulfull our vision statement and women and men in Slovakia will join in on seeing this vision become a reality.

HOW AWESOME? Look at all that we’re trusting Him for, but ARE WE PRAYING?

Okay, thats great Kelly, but what can I do from here?

-You can pray
-You can invite any and everyone to the facebook group
-You can let your supporters know about it
-You can add your own Serbia prayer requests to the wall of the group
-You can talk about how excited you are about Serbia (if you are)
-You can trust
-in a couple of weeks I want to gather everyone together to pray for Serbia - details coming

Looking forward to seeing God do big things.

So, thanks for joining us in prayer and for being a part of what God is doing all over the world!
