  • Spiritual growth for the girls in the Manchen Home who recently accepted Christ
  • Strength and guidance for the people working with the girls every day
• China
  • Provision of love and physical needs for the children in orphanages
  • Continued freedom for groups and individuals to go minister
• Outreaches of 121
  • Guidance and follow-through for individuals and Life Groups as God reveals areas for them to be involved
  • Wisdom for the leaders of each outreach
• Other current efforts
  • Steven & Stacey, Bryan & Leslie, Deborah, Heather, and others who are serving in full-time mission work overseas
    

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Scaling the Wall - Overcoming Obstacles to Missions Involvement
(Book, Kathy Hicks)

There is nothing more inspiring than hearing an exciting, true story about someone overcoming a personal obstacle and obtaining a cherished, yet seemingly unreachable goal. It encourages us to know that these things actually happen to real people, that God reaches down into their lives, arranges circumstances and events, and works in people's hearts to bring about His plan for them. These stories give us hope to believe that if God can do it for them, He just might do something similar for us! God can help you scale the wall too!!
