Praise God for the many opportunities we have every day to be witnesses of His gospel to all those around us. Ask Him to grant us wisdom to make the most of these opportunities. Pray for Him to help us be bold but also patient as we proclaim His good news. Ask Him to help us develop new friendships through which He might draw others to Himself.

This week we are praying for Living 180 Ministries (living180ministries.org), a ministry founded by Brook Hills members Paul and Suzanne Talley, working to bring healing, restoration, and healthy communication to Christian couples in crisis through couple-to-couple counseling. Paul (PSAP) also does Conflict Resolution for businesses and ministries as well as individual counseling with men that are struggling with sexual deviation of any kind. Living 180 Ministries is the new name of Christian Marriages in Crisis but many of their contacts come through their original website because the name draws them there (christianmarriagesincrisis.com). We are also praying for Grace Community Church @ Deerfoot and Pastor Thad Blount.

DAY 1: Pray for Christian marriages in our local church, our city, and our world. Pray for husbands and wives to live according to God’s plan and purpose, and to together display the glorious relationship between Christ and His Bride, the Church. Pray for them to reach out for help when they are struggling.

 DAY 2: Pray for God to continue to heal Suzanne physically as she had her auto immune system shut down last August and was in bed for three months. She has improved tremendously but still has bad days which has affected their ability to do the ministry God has called them to do.

 DAY 3: Pray for financial blessing and security for Living 180 Ministries, as Suzanne’s health challenges impacted their cash flow. They presently have three couples in need of scholarships as they continue to do the work to restore their marriages and families. If you would like more information, please call Paul at 205-807-1248.

 DAY 4: Pray for Paul and Suzanne Talley as they minister to couples in crisis, and ask God to give them wisdom and to protect and strengthen their own marriage.  Pray Paul and Suzi’s marriage would be a light to the couples they are ministering to presently as well as couples around them.

 DAY 5: Pray for the pastors and wives struggling in their marriages. Pray their marriages would encourage others around them as Living 180 ministers to them and their families. Pray for continued and new opportunities to reach pastors and their wives.

 DAY 6: Pray for Paul as he finishes his book for men, The Calling of Men… Searching for Faithful Men, developing a workbook and recording a video series. May God use this book!

This week we are praying for our long-termers, Josh and Monika K.

DAY 1: Pray for their new church to be a corporate display of the gospel in the city where they serve.

DAY 2: Pray for their church to be unified as they appoint elders soon

DAY 3: Pray for their family to develop healthy patterns of rest that show their belief in God’s sovereignty.

DAY 4: Pray for the Lord to save their kids

DAY 5: Pray for the Lord to use their lost friends to come to know Jesus through their faithful evangelism.

DAY 6: Pray for their language center as they change locations and responsibilities.
