Mission Houston Prayer Targets
March 2009
PRAYER REQUEST 1: Transformation of the Public Schools.
Under the name "Whole and Healthy Children Initiative," Mission Houston teams have led collaborative "adoptions" of 7 schools in greater Houston in this first year of the initiative.
Pray for God to pour out his blessings on each of these schools, their faculty and administration, and the students and their families, and ask Him to grant the Mission Houston teams favor in providing the above, much needed resources.
PRAYER REQUEST 2: Faithwalking.
Faithwalking is the Mission Houston ministry that develops catalysts and leaders of "vision communities." Ask God to raise up at least 40 new vision community leaders in 2009/2010.
- Please pray for 80 participants in this year's Faithwalking 101 Retreats.
- Pray for 50% of the Faithwalking 101 retreat participants to emerge from that retreat passionate about establishing a team to serve a local neighborhood, workplace or 3rd place.
- Pray for 20 Faithwalking Coaches to complete training in 2009.
PRAYER REQUEST 3: Financial Provisions.
Pray
that God will provide the resources to reach our goal of raising
$100,000 at our annual fundraiser, "Greater Things Are Yet to Come" on
May 8, 2009.
Pray for the
Lord's continued financial provision for Mission Houston to persevere
in the work of Changing Greater Houston for Good.
PRAYER REQUEST 4: Communications.
Pray for our communications team as they create a clear communication plan by April 15th, 2009. As the plan is implemented:
- Pray for the successful production of at least 4 short videos before June 2009.
- Pray for the successful launch of our new website by June 1, 2009.
- Pray for us as we develop a public relations strategy.
PRAYER REQUEST 5: Organizational Growth & Effectiveness.
Pray
for God's wisdom and guidance during our organizational transition. As
we transition from a start-up non-profit ministry to a non-profit
ministry poised for growth and expansion, we need new leaders to
increase our organizational effectiveness.
Pray
for the Lord to raise up the right persons to join us who are equipped
and passionate for Changing Greater Houston for Good.
Thank you for praying. You are being joined by many others across the city who are seeking God's provision and guidance as we collaborate together with Him and with each other to change greater Houston for Good.
