A Summer of Prayer

How to Pray for Heritage This Summer…

WOL Youth Camp

Please be in prayer for our 57 teens going to Word of Life camp July 13-19. Join us in praying for:

  • Protection and safety
  • Spiritual growth – open hearts to receive God’s truth and a stirring of faith and a deep, personal connection with Jesus
  • Growth of godly friendships and unity among Heritage Students
  • Life transformation and lasting impact

Kids Camp

Please be in prayer for our Kids Camp July 21-26. There are over 70 campers attending! Please Pray for:

  • Protection and safety
  • Opportunities for gospel conversations with the children
  • Counselors and staff to abide in Jesus
  • Long-lasting relationships to be formed
  • Kids to have fun and be encouraged in their joy in Jesus!

Governance & Growth

Pray for our church as we continue walking forward in governance and growth. Pray that the Lord would provide for the needs of our church while guarding the unity we have in Christ. May He also give wisdom and clarity at the future town halls and eventual vote on the proposed constitution.

A Summer of Prayer

Paul’s admonition is not just a simple call to prayerfulness, but a direct call to fervently plead to God on behalf of “all the saints” and for his work as an apostle. This is prayer that is “at all times in the Spirit.” It’s both consistent and authoritative, unending and powerful. This is a prayerfulness that has an eye on the enemy’s schemes while also having its feet planted in the truth. 

Do we pray like that for one another?

SUMMER PRAISES!

Heritage Students STMTs

Thank you for praying for these teams! Let’s rejoice together over these praises!

Tanzania:

  • 85+ village kids sat down with Tanzania Bible College students to have a further in-depth gospel conversation after hearing the gospel presented during chapel time. All of those kids have been invited to join Bible studies that take place at their schools!
  • One 11-year-old boy asked our global worker to hear more about how a person can be saved. Upon hearing the gospel, the boy asked if he could pray to the Lord right then for salvation!
  • Many of the Tanzanian believers expressed after the trip how encouraged they were after spending time with so many young people who love Jesus!
  • Our global workers shared how encouraging it was for them to spend time with the next generation of Christians who will either send or go to the nations!

North Africa:

 

  • Praise that we were a genuine encouragement to our global workers, being the first teen team they’ve been able to lead in this capacity. 
  • Praise that our teens have a greater appreciation for the peoples of the nations, the Lord stirring a deeper desire to take the Gospel where it isn’t (either as “goers” or “senders” in the future).
  • Praise that our teens and leaders stepped boldly into gospel conversations as seemed fitting, giving opportunity for our global workers to have follow-up conversations.
  • Praise that our teens whole-heartedly embraced on the trip a self-denying mentality that we pray will permeate into the coming days of their lives.

Refresh Conference

Thank you for your prayers and generous giving for Refresh! Let’s praise the Lord for these blessings!

  • Every member of the family was intentionally cared for and loved!
  • The MKs felt a deep sense of belonging
  • The MKs were given helpful tools such as being taught the process of biblical lament and methods for improving their self-awareness and emotional health. 
  • We Laughed. A LOT. 
  • By God’s grace, our team achieved everything we set out to achieve ten-fold. 
  • Our team provided pathways for further follow-up and pastoral care.
