PTG Prayer Guide (Week 3): October 26-28, 2009

As we near the time for the upcoming Promoting The Gospel Conference, we covet your prayers – prayers for the conference, prayers for the team putting the conference together, prayers for speakers at the conference, and prayers for the pastors attending the conference (and those who could not attend).  Each week leading up to the conference, a new guide will be published with specific prayer requests.  These can be found in the bulletin at each worship service, here on the LBC Church Blog, the PTG Conference Blog, and the LBC Twitter page(including unique daily prayer requests).

“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31

Statistics show that 70% of all pastors do not have a close friend; 60% are in some form of crisis; on average 400 pastors leave the ministry weekly in America.

Pray that the Holy Spirit will lead pastors to attend this conference; especially those men who are feeling isolated and overwhelmed.  Pray that God will use this conference to encourage pastors to stand firm. 

Pray for Janice Detwiler, McKenzie Combs, Lloyd & Goldie Taylor, Hugh & Babs Kreiger, Bess Cecil, Brenda Allen, Ernie & Gayle Henson, Andy &  Joyce Mitchell, Gloria McMillin, Tom & Margaret Nettles, Bobbi DeZarn,  Tiffany Spruill, Cissy Waits, Gary Veech, Ellen May, and Ruby Coomes as they prepare to greet pastors and run the bookstore for PTG.

Pray for Justin Taylor as he prepares to speak to our church body on
October 25th.
