Welcome! You have been invited to follow this blog by either a student or leader of Salem First Baptist's Student Ministries. We are so glad you are here! It has been on our heart to have God move through our students in a big way, and we know that the main way to get that done is by having a body of believers praying for us constantly. Our goal with this blog is to keep you informed and up-to-date on prayer requests we have within our ministry, whether they be from an individual student or from the group as a whole. We want to thank you for your willingness to pray for us and the work God is already doing within the lives of our students.

PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Students

This week we held our last mid-week nights for both Thrive and Fusion for the rest of the summer. This summer we have focused on what it looks like to have Biblical, God-honoring relationships with family, and friends. Pray that our students would have discernment and that they would always show the love of Christ. That they would seek out relationships that exemplify the Lord, and point others to Him.  

Pray that as we take the month of August "off" as a big group, that this will be a time for students and leaders to connect outside of our main night. Pray as both the Thrive and Fusion teams start planning for the next school year, that God would bond them together as a team and help them set goals for the future.

For Our Ministry
Pray that student-leader relationships would grow as they do life together to mature in and for the glory of Christ.

PRAYER REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
- Pray for my dad as he just got his third job. I hope to grow in my faith. I want to have a better relationship with my dad.
- Being able to stay with my family without any problems. Being able to make/keep friends; not being an outcast.
- Pray that I will be able to be a Godly leader at football when others are not making good decisions.
- Not being so nervous about high school and trying to enjoy it.

 
STUDENTS IN OUR MINISTRY:
Please take a moment to pray for these students individually. Pray over their week, family life, friendships, and character.

PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Students

No soldier wants to go into battle alone. No one likes to stand up and be the lone voice in a meeting. We want to know someone has our back or is standing with us. We carry out our responsibilities better when we encourage one another. We all need encouragers in our lives. In turn, we can strengthen our relationships when we offer the same support and encouragement to others. This week we focused on the relationship of Barnabas and Saul.
Pray that our students would have both Barnabas' and Sauls' in their life - people that encourage them, and people they can encourage. Pray that as our students encourage people around them, that they would also influence their peers in a way that honors Christ.  

For Our Ministry
Pray for our team that we are sending to Camp Attitude. Pray that their lives would be changed, that God would open their eyes to a world in need through their children they will serve. Pray also for the leaders, that they would have strength and endurance to support their students.

Pray also as we have a Thrive event next Tuesday called "The Amazing Race". Pray that it would be an event that students will bring their friends too.

Pray also for Camp H2O - as we are preparing for it and as students are signing up - that students who God wants there will sign up.
 
PRAYER REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
- To connect with old friends and bring them to Thrive. For God to mentally prepare me for high school.
- Temptation/Strength. Confidence in sharing the Gospel. Family resentment.
- That I can serve God through ministries and other people like my friends.
- Pray that I can stay dedicated to my goals and not be discouraged.

- Pray that I will be able to be a Godly leader at football when others are not making good decisions.

STUDENTS IN OUR MINISTRY:
Please take a moment to pray for the students and leaders going to serve at Camp Attitude next week. Pray for strength for them to serve well all week. Pray that God would do a mighty work in all their hearts.
