PRAYERS OF THE WEEK:
For Our Students
This week we asked our students: What’s the harm in a little peer pressure? We focused on pinpointing how we allow others to influence them in positive and negative ways. Pray that as our students wrestle with what the world is telling them, they would seek God and obey His word. Pray that as their friends might pressure them into things that are wrong, that they would stand strong in their faith. Pray that through this, they would influence the world, not reflect it.

 

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:
- I could really use some prayer with my school work and with my family relationships.
- My pessimism. To realize the good things I have.
- Pray for stamina and strength thru the play season help me to keep my grades up so I don’t fall behind in my classes.
- Not feeling like I am connecting with God.

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.
