Onward!

Pastor Greg

P.S. I recently learned of this acronym (A.C.T.S.) that has helped me in my prayer time. A: Adoration C: Confession T: Thanksgiving S: Supplication. These four modes cover all the ways the Scriptures teach us to pray.

Adoration = Worship and praise to God.
Confession = Asking forgiveness for your sins.
Thanksgiving = Intentional gratitude to/for God.
Supplication = Pray for others

Prayer Schedule:

8am: Use this hour to set your heart before the Lord and dedicate your day to Him in prayer. This is a wonderful time to show your adoration for the Lord, seek forgiveness and washing from sins, and recenter your life on Christ. (Proverbs 16:3, 1 John 1:9)

9am: Pray for our church fellowship as we continue to meet at the Boys & Girls Club. And pray for our Sunday services — that God's Word would be sown on good soil to be fruitful in growing God's people and seeing the lost saved. Pray also for those who are sick, and those recovering in our fellowship. That our Lord would draw more families in to hear His Word. (Hebrews 10:24-25; Luke 8:15)

10am: Pray for our children — the Treasure Seekers — that the Lord would set His mark on them, call them, and that our families would have the wisdom for discipling in the home. Also pray for our Bible Camp to take place in August. (Matthew 19:14; Proverbs 22:6; Deuteronomy 6:6-7)

11am: Pray for our Thailand orphans — Sompawn (10 yrs / boy), Jarugon (11 yrs / girl), Sidapawn (8 yrs / girl), and Warapon (9 yrs / boy) (Psalm 121:7-8; Isaiah 40:29; Philippians 4:19)

12pm: Pray for our upcoming Thailand missions in August 2025 — that God would open the door for us to do more on the ground work in Thailand, for saving children and church planting. (Matthew 9:37-38; Acts 1:8) Also, our Thailand mission trip will be happening in August 2025. (Proverb 16:9; Isaiah 6:8; Matthew 28:18-20)

1pm: Pray for our new series, MARANATHA, through the Book of Revelation. Ask the Lord to give Pastor Greg wisdom in his studies and clarity in his teaching. And that we would as a church body live with anticipation of Christ's return. (Revelation 1:3)

2pm: Pray for God to continue to give us a great love for newcomers and enlarge our heart for the lost. In particular, let's pray for the Lord to send us some new families with children so that we can strengthen the foundation and fellowship of our ministry to the kids in our church.

3pm: Pray for the Cascade View Retreat Center — that Lord willing — one day this would become a place for Living Waters to reach Central, Oregon. This location recently sold and is no longer in the hands of the Catholic Church. All the more to pray in faith! (Matthew 21:22; James 1:6; Hebrews 11:6)

4pm: Pray for our church leadership: Pastor Greg, Bob and Eric) in leading, overseeing and shepherding the church — for increased wisdom, courage and love for our fellowship (Hebrews 13:7, 17).

5pm: Pray for our nation as we enter an election year, specifically our president, upcoming president, our governor and our city mayor — that they would turn to Christ and be used as an effective leaders for God's glory and the benefit of the church. (1 Timothy 2:1-2; Proverbs 21:1)
