God of our salvation, Sovereign of the nations,

Thank you for the Great Commission!

We praise you, that In Acts 14, you empowered your apostles to speak in such a way that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed,

You gifted them to speak boldly for you, as you bore witness to the word of your grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands

As we continue this Great Mission of making disciples of all nations, embolden and empower us for the spread of your kingdom here in Chicago, and around the world:

We implore you to SAVE our family members who are far from You – parents and children:

- Julie Hiett unsaved family

- Ron and Lynnelle’s mom Maureen and Dad

- Bev Converse’ son Paul, grandchild Ally

- Jason Quintanar, Ptolemy Price

- Gertz’ daughter Danielle

- Sandy Knepper’s sons and families

- Others’ children, parents, siblings, spouses who are FAR from You, even addicted, in the bonds of darkness

Mature our witness - giving us wiser, more effective, and more winsome evangelism, hospitality, and love

With neighbors - open doors

Jas. 5:13 “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray… Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”

Pray for focus, clarity of mind, discipline, direction, aim in life, kingdom-purpose;

Anxiety, esp. Among young adults: Phil 4…

Taking every thought captive to obey Christ

Be transformed by the renewal of their mind…
