The Board of Christian Life and Outreach will be supporting Operation Christmas Child (filling Christmas boxes) beginning in October. If you are interested, you might consider purchasing some school supplies while you can find them on sale. In addition to filling a Christmas Box, Donna Connelly, Operation Christmas Child Prayer Coordinator of Northwest Iowa is asking for your prayers.
What if one of the most powerful ways you could help a child hear about Jesus is simply to pray? Operation Christmas Child is preparing for another season of sharing the Gospel through shoebox gifts; and behind every shoebox is a child, a family, a community-and an opportunity for God to change lives. I am looking for men and women who feel called to stand in the gap through prayer for the children, families, churches, volunteers, and ministry teams engaged in this mission.
Would you consider joining my Operation Christmas Child Prayer Team? You don’t need special training or a lot of extra time. I simply need people who are willing to pray faithfully and specifically. Together, we will pray for:
— Open doors for the Gospel and hearts prepared to receive it.
— Children who receive shoeboxes to encounter the love of Jesus.
— Churches and community groups to catch the vision for evangelism and discipleship.
— Volunteers and ministry teams to have wisdom, strength, unity, and encouragement.
— Safety and protection for everyone involved in collecting, processing, transporting, & distributing shoeboxes.
— The Greatest Journey discipleship program and the children who choose to follow Jesus.
— New believers to boldly share Christ with their families and friends.
— God to raise up people of peace and open doors and communities that have not yet heard the Gospel.
Your prayer matters. Every shoebox represents an opportunity, but prayer prepares the way for the Gospel to go forth. If God is stirring your heart to be part of this ministry through prayer, I would love to have you join me. Whether you can pray every day, once a week, or simply commit to praying during key times throughout the Operation Christmas Child season, there is a place for you on my prayer team.
Jesus said in Matthew 9:37-38, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into His harvest.”
Let’s cover this entire ministry in prayer and trust God to do what only He can do-transform lives for eternity through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
