Praise God for our deliverance from sin we can only experience through faith in Jesus. Pray for God to protect us from the temptations of this world. Pray for the Holy Spirit’s ongoing work in our lives to transform us more and more into the image of Christ. Pray we all would be bold in our witness of the things Christ has done in and for us. 

This week we are praying for the families of Oliver Elementary School and the Love Oliver Campaign that launches today. Through Love Oliver, Brook Hills has the opportunity to join the staff and partners of Oliver Elementary in overcoming the economic, academic, spiritual, and social barriers that they face in a low-income area as we point them to the perfect redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Find out how you can “Love Oliver” at brookhills.org/loveoliver. We are also praying for New Community Baptist Church, Gate City, and Pastor Donnie Chapman.

DAY 1: Oliver families are up against a host of economic, academic, and spiritual hurdles. Pray for God to enable us to minister to their tangible needs and to point them to the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Pray God would call other Christ-followers to serve them in Jesus’ Name.

DAY 2: Pray for those serving as mentors to Oliver students through Discovery Club, Breakfast Club, Lunch Club, Oak Tree Ministries Reading and Bible Clubs, Aspire Movement, STAIR tutoring, and as classroom aides. Pray for God to lead the mentors serving in these roles to exemplify the unconditional, selfless love of Christ.

DAY 3: Pray for God to save and raise up a generation of young disciples at Oliver Elementary who will let their light shine among their peers and families. 

DAY 4: Pray for the Love Oliver campaign as we aim to raise $40,000 for school supplies, uniforms, and classroom resources to help relieve the financial burden on Oliver families as they prepare for the first day of school. 

DAY 5: Pray especially for Serving You Ministries and Oak Tree Ministries, partners of Love Oliver and Brook Hills, as they minister in a variety of ways to provide relief, development, and discipleship opportunities for Oliver families. 

DAY 6: Pray for our Faith Family and community partners to work together in unity to invest time, care, resources, and prayer into our neighbors at Oliver so that God would do a transforming work in the Gate City community.
