THE 2010 WEEK OF PRAYER FOR OUR CHILDREN AND YOUTH!
July 28th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

For Our Children and Youth
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon; Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper. ~ Jeremiah 29:4-7
Welcome to the Second Annual Week of Prayer for Our Children and Youth. You are joining with thousands of other people who are praying in unity around some specific topics that we face in our city. CHILDREN AT RISK, the leading research and advocacy group in our city, provided the Did you know information at the beginning of each prayer request. For more information you may visit their web site at http://www.childrenatrisk.org.
In addition to praying these prayers with others on a daily basis, please share them with those in your circle of friends.

On August 12, pastors, ministry leaders, and those who serve and advocate for children will be gathering for our second annual Faith Summit. Bob Sanborn, CEO of CHILDREN AT RISK will bring an update on the seven issues for which we are praying and we will spend considerable time praying in unity as the gathered Faith Community in the greater Houston area. The Summit will be held at Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church from 11 am 1 pm in their fellowship hall. To purchase a ticket, go to the CHILDREN AT RISK web site (listed above) or call Laura Nelson at 713.869.7740.
