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

Pray that as our students prepare to go back to school that God would be with them. Pray that He would ease any fears or nervousness they might have. Pray for those students going to new schools, going into middle school or high school, or maybe just going to a new school, that they would be confident in their transition and that God would use them in this new place. 

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 our students and leaders would experience the joy of Christ as they worship Him in word and deed. Pray that with thanksgiving in our hearts we would reflect Jesus in all we say and do.
 

PRAYER REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
- To connect with old friends and bring them to Thrive. For God to mentally prepare me for high school.
- 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.
- Pray that I will be able to be a Godly leader at football when others are not making good decisions.
- Temptation/Strength. Confidence in sharing the Gospel. Family resentment.
 

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

On Sunday, Pastor Brian taught on being able to recognize what has your focus in life. Pray that students would be able to shift their focus to their Heavenly Father; that the distractions of this world would fade away and they would be able to see the value of focusing on Jesus. 

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 for our Thrive and Fusion Bible studies that are happening the month of August. Pray that as students and leaders meet in homes and at church to delve deeper into God's word that they would grow closer together and expand their understanding of the Bible. 

PRAYER REQUESTS FROM OUR STUDENTS:
– For my words to be God’s. For me to have lots of good conversations.
– Pray that I will be able to find out who I really am. And that I will be able to make it through high school.
- Pray that I would have a selfless attitude and that I would think of others before myself. 
- Pray for strength and encouragement to be a man of God 

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