Day Thirty-Two of Forty

Makholweni CarePoint

God, please minister through Children's Cup to the children who come to this CarePoint.

Our cry to you is that you protect our children from harm, heal their little bodies of horrific disease, nourish their tummies with good food, soothe the pain and hurt they suffer from losing mother and father, and other loved ones and being abandoned.

Most of all, we ask that you soften their hearts to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Give our teachers and missionaries your awesome anointing to teach them how to grow and become strong leaders and excellent Christians in their own community.

Give them reasons to live: Joy, Peace, Hope.


In Jesus' name,
Amen

Day Thirty-One of Forty

Moneni CarePoint

Thank you, Lord, for Moneni.

Thank you for the local businessman who supplies this CarePoint with chicken every week so that the children can actually have meat in their diets! Bless that man abundantly.

Thank you for the cooks and teachers and volunteers. Meet their needs, strengthen their bodies.

Thank you for the missionaries who love on our kids here. Fill their hearts with your love. Give them wisdom and guidance.

Thank you for our children who have come to be fed and taught and healed and loved. Thank you for every piece of wood they bring to help keep the cooking fires burning. May these little ones come to know Jesus personally and find grace and hope for their lives.

Thank you for the kids who have learned to minister in little plays and skits and music. Bless this effort for your glory.

May everyone who passes by Moneni CarePoint feel the presence of Jesus. And through our little place, may the Holy Spirit minister to the neighborhood and bring revival to hungry hearts and deliverance to tormented souls.

In Jesus' name,
Amen

Day Thirty of Forty

Rwanda

Dear Lord, this tiny country has been through terrible and awful places. The people have experienced horrors my mind can't imagine. Genocide is beyond my comprehension.

Although the "war" is now over and the people are doing well together, they still have hurts that are slowly, slowly mending.

We are asking you to heal the broken hearts, mend the torn relationships, give them the grace to honor one another and treat each other as Jesus would do.

Restore their spirits. Touch their lives with your mercy.

Especially we pray for the children. Erase from their memories the horrors of that day. May each one come to know you and serve you.

Fill their hearts with your love.

In Jesus' name,
Amen

uh oh...

Well, I'm behind a couple days on my prayers for the 40 days.

We just got back from our three-week tour around the south and due to several teensy reasons, I didn't get my prayers posted for August 30 and 31. tsk.

So now I'm picking up where i left off.

The trip was good. I'll post about it soon.

Day Twenty-Nine of Forty

Vacation Camps

Father, I well remember the summer Bible camps I attended. I made new friends and reestablished old ones.

We played sports and did handcrafts and had Bible lessons.

And we had church. Boy did we have church!

Lord I thank you for those wonderful times.



And now we are having vacation Bible camps for our CarePoint kids. How exciting!

I just pray that these kids come away from their days at the camps having made new friends, enjoying sports activities and handcrafts. And loving learning the old Bible stories and applying them to their own lives.

Especially I ask that the "church" services are a time of spiritual awakening. That their souls are enlighened to the ways of the Holy Spirit. That they join their voices together in praise and worship to our God.

That they are forever changed. That they determine to serve you the rest of their lives. That through these children you can bring revival to a beautiful country. That you can begin to work miracles in body and soul throughout the land...

...for your Glory.

In Jesus' name,
Amen

Day Twenty-Eight of Forty

Pat Conti

Wow. What a great gift Pat has been to the 'Cup team...and to the hundreds and hundreds of kids whose lives he has made brighter. Thank you God, for sending him our way.

Thank you for the way he is so kind to all those he meets--from the kids, to the cooks, to the builders, to the others on the 'Cup team--and everyone inbetween!

Bless Pat and meet his needs...guide his every footstep. Anoint his ministry, give him your wisdom. As he makes decisions, help him make the right ones.

May every life he has introduced to Jesus, find Pat as such a positive role model that they pattern their lives after him--and that Pat continues to pattern his life after Christ.


In Jesus' name,
Amen

Day Twenty-Seven of Forty

Mangwaneni Manzini CarePoint

For all the children, the neighbors, the volunteers, the cooks, the teachers, the gardener, the missionaries...we ask for blessings of love and joy and peace. For health and happiness. For the contentment of knowing who they are in Christ. For a great passion for serving Jesus. For personal salvation. For the blessed Hope.

Especially, Lord, I am asking for that little girl I met the last time I was there. She was about 10 or 12 years old, wearing a green sweater. She was so happy to have me give her a hug. She came back and hugged me again and again. Her eyes were so full of sadness... Please give her the health she needs. Give her a safe place to sleep. Protect her from molesters. As she partakes of the food and healthcare and education we are so privileged to offer her at this CarePoint, I pray she accepts you as her personal Savior. Give her the peace that passes all understanding. Make her a soul winner and a peace maker. Use her for your glory.

In Jesus' name,
Amen
