The congregation’s prayers to be transformed. Pastor Charles challenged everyone to consider how we will NOT be a “Wimpy Church.” (To understand what this means, please click on this prayer entry.)
Pastor’s Prayer Challenges:
- Everyone in the balcony to go into the empty classrooms upstairs in the church and pray to God for His will to be done, i.e., to pray that He will reveal to us, as His church, what we should be doing to prepare the way for the rooms to be filled with children learning about Him. God’s will be done.
- Everyone in the congregation to focus on a space in the church and pray for God’s will to be done in that space and in the entire church facility, as well.
