 Prayer Points

Thank you for praying for Canada today! 

  
1. We regularly pray for the members of our national media.  Let's pray that they will seek to tell the truth of each story and not use their platform as an opportunity to hurt the politicians or causes that they don't personally like.  This week as you watch TV, listen to the radio, or read the paper, why not pray for the person who is reporting.
 
2. Let's continue to pray for our Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his team as they try to deal with the enormous financial challenges of our nation at this time.  Pray that the wisdom that comes from above would fill their minds and God's Spirit would guide their steps. 
 
 
3. Pray for the plans for the National Prayer Breakfast as the invitations go out and hundreds of people respond to this special event.  We ask for the Lord's great blessing on this effort coming up on May 28, 2009.
 
4. Thank you for praying for our 8 new Nazarites who joined us this past weekend. They continue to need your prayers as they step up to the challenge of praying on the national level. 
 
If you read our daily blog we give you lots of extra stuff to pray for on a regular basis.

 Greetings,
 
  It's official! Today is the first day of Spring.  In Ottawa that means that the maple syrup is boiling, the tulips are soon going to bloom, and we will have a couple more snow storms before we can hang up our winter coats.
Nazarites 09 
 
  Our new Nazarites have arrived and already finished their first week of "Boot Camp". 
 
Gibsons Team
 
  This week we had a prayer team from Calvary Baptist in Gibsons on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast.  They had the rare privilege of getting right onto the floor of the House of Commons with an M.P. with whom they had connections. It was also a special week for focusing on praying for the Senate.

Bring a Prayer Team to Ottawa ...
 
  Although most of our weeks this Spring are already booked, we do have one open week from April 27 - May 1st.  Call us ASAP if you can bring a team!  Teams are already making their plans for the Fall, so it's not to early to start looking at your calendar.
 
    We have all the detailed information about what it is like to spend a week with us, and all the answers to your questions at our website
  
Mark Your Calendar! 
 
Government Prayer Sunday is on June 28th this year.  New information is coming  soon!
