 2009 The Year of Seeking
Unite with us each evening at 8:00 PM (CST) for one minute of prayer!
Ladies Ministries of the United Pentecostal Church International has declared 2009 as The Year of Seeking. During this year we will seek God's face through fasting and prayer for an awakening in our souls for His heartbeat.
Join us in a unified effort to seek God's face as we come before God with humility to seek the paths of righteousness and holy living.
We also ask that you join with us in fasting the first Monday of each month.
"For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments" (Ezra 7:10).
Sincerely,
Ladies Ministries UPCI |
Prayer Idea
Prayer boxes for Valentine's Day!
We each drew children's names and made boxes for them. We filled them with candy and other treats but the most important thing placed into the boxes was the notes of encouragement!
The children loved the goodies but the follow-up prayer was the most important part to us parents.
My children's boxes and prayers are in their rooms on a shelf and when one of them has a new request I help them write it on paper then we pray over the request and put it into the prayer box. When the prayer is answered we open the box and find the request and record the day that God answered it. |
Praise Report
We have several children that come to Sunday school on the church bus. Because their parents don't come to church (yet) our DOZ prayer group consistently prays especially for these children. We call each one by name and pray as specifically as we can in regards to their needs. A few days ago one of these bus children, a nine-year-old girl, was almost abducted at knife point. She managed to wriggle away and run to safety. I thank God she was protected from harm. DOZ and the church is the only prayer covering she has. What an awesome task we have. What a mighty God we serve, well able to hear and answer! -Debbie Akers, Pastor's wife, TLC, AZ
We had our 1st DOZ prayer meeting in October. At that time, we felt led to focus primarily on our backslidden children over age 18. One of those was the 19 year old granddaughter of one of our ladies. After her mother passed away from cancer, her father stopped bringing them to church. In November this young lady started coming back to church with her grandmother. By our December DOZ meeting, we had our 1st praise report as the Lord had refilled her with the Holy Ghost just days before!
At our December meeting, we felt led to focus specifically on two children. One was a 6 year old little girl with unresolved health problems, and the other was a 12 year old girl who had been suffering from extreme night terrors for months. To date the 12 year old has not had even one single night terror since that meeting. (I know because she's my daughter.) Praise Jesus! As for the 6 year old, I'm claiming a praise report in advance for what GOd is going to do! I am excited about each and every meeting because the Lord is doing great things! -Kim Ward, DOZ Coordinator, 1st UPC, Senatobia, MS | |
