Prayer Topic for Sunday July 1st

This coming Sunday, July 1st, we will have two areas of focus for our prayer time. First, we will be praying for the local church in Ancahuasi. There are just a few families that make up this church. We will be praying for God to strengthen and build this church. Second, we will be praying for the 26 people who trusted in Christ during this trip (praise God for His grace!). We will be praying for these people to grow in their faith, to increase in the knowledge of the truth, and to be protected from the schemes of the evil one. Also, we will be praying that God will raise up leaders from among this harvest of believers. To do so, these people will need solid teaching and training; they will need some sort of discipleship. We will ask God to work in this way in their lives.

Please join us in praying for these areas throughout this week as we lead up to Sunday. This is a strategic area for the work in Ancahuasi. Let us be faithful in praying for this work. Hope to see you on Sunday.

Prayer Topic for Sunday June 24th

For this Sunday, we will be praying for the after-effects of Ninth and O's recent trip to Peru. We will pray that the team's work will continue to benefit the people of Ancahuasi, that the team's work will continue to open doors for the gospel, and that the team's work will create more openness for the next team.

Also, we will be praying that the current team returns safely. When we meet on Sunday, it is likely that the team will be in-transit back to Louisville. So, we will be praying for their continued safe travel. Be sure to check back throughout the week for updates on the team's work in Ancahuasi.

Prayer Topic for Sunday, June 10

Throughout the rest of this week and on Sunday, June 10, we will be praying for the school in Ancahuasi. This school is responsible for educating about 800 children in the area. We will need to pray for the principal and other administrative employees, the teachers, and the students. We will be praying for their spiritual needs as well as any physical needs that they have. Also, we want to remember Ninth and O as the June mission trip group will be trying to give medical examinations to most of these students. Let us pray that even now at such a young age these children may come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal savior.

So, this is how it will work...

This is how the blog will work in connection with the prayer group at church. On Mondays, either Chris or I will post a prayer focus for the week. This will be the topic that we are praying for individually as the week progresses. It will also be the topic that we are focusing on during that up-coming Sunday's meeting.

This week let us pray for the upcoming trip in June - for the people who are going, for the financial provision, for the logistical needs (like flights, passports, hotels, transportation, etc.), for God to prepare the hearts of those who will hear the gospel.

We hope to see you on Sunday night at 5:30.

Introducing This Blog

This blog is designed to chronicle and update our effort to pray for the work of Ninth and O Baptist Church in Ancahuasi, Peru. As the name suggests, we are praying that God would bring an awakening in Ancahuasi. We long to see multitudes of people come to trust in Christ and the church be strengthened and built up as a result. Over this entire work, we pray that God would be glorified in Ancahuasi.

We meet at 5:30 on Sunday evenings at Ninth and O. Please come and join us as we pray for God's work in Peru.
