Prayer Partners

Prayer Partners

This amazing husband and wife team are prayer partners for one of our Bible classes. They are the most praying people I have ever met!

Throughout the year, we ask for volunteers who will be willing to spend time in prayer daily for a group of children.  In June when our children promote to their new Bible class, we assign a set of prayer partners for each Bible class from birth up to grade 12. (Many times these prayer partners are older Christians who feel like they cannot physically handle teaching a children's Bible class but want to be involved in the spiritual growth of young children.) 

The prayer partners take a list of children in one Bible class and commit to pray for each child on that list individually for one year.  They take a little time to get to know the children either in Bible class or out of class and finds out some specific prayer needs for those children.  Some teams write notes of encouragement periodically to the children to let them know how they have prayed for them.  Other teams call periodically to let them know they have been praying for them.

When children have reason to rejoice or have a crisis, they typically contact these prayer partners and ask them to pray for them or with them. 

Praise God for this particular group of people!  God is using them for His Glory!

Prayer Cards and Duck Tape Pocket

This is a set of prayer cards I made for children to use to help with their daily prayers.  Each day, pull out one card, read the scripture at the bottom of the page, and then pray for the item listed at the top of the page.  For example, the topic might be "Forgive Others".  The child would then pray for themselves to forgive someone who has hurt their feeling today or recently. They could extend that prayer to ask for forgiveness for hurting another child's feeling or for forgiveness for sins. After the child is finished praying, have him/her place the card in the back of the pocket so they can pick a new card tomorrow.

I recently printed these cards and had the children make the duck tape pockets when teaching the Bible story of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1-8). The girls made the purple and splatter paint pockets while the boys made the camo and silver pockets. The children absolutely loved making the duck tape pockets!  They have been using the prayer cards every night since we made them.
