Ministry Notes for February 2016

Recent and Upcoming Events in 2016

Pray for our preparations and for good attendance during the events yet to come.  Pray that many will stop during outreach, interested in discussing abortion.  Pray that God will cause a love for every human being, born and unborn, to sink deep into the hearts of those with whom we have conversations and those we lead through our training program.  See www.jfaweb.org/calendar for more details, more events, and to register.

Recruiting Interns and Staff

Pray for our recruiting efforts.  Catherine Wurts is hard at work to recruit at least one intern to be working in our office by September.  We have already received $2,300 of the needed $8,000 for a four-month internship, so pray for both the funds and applicants.  If you or someone you know would like to apply, go to www.jfaweb.org/internships or call Catherine at 316-683-6426.

Recruiting Mission Trip Participants

Pray for our mission trips for 2016.  While any of our outreach events can be turned into a mission trip (in which the participant handles all of his own housing, meals, and transportation), Tammy Cook is working to encourage people from all over the US to participate in our May 2016 mission trip in Los Angeles, CA.  Contact Tammy (316-683-6426, www.jfaweb.org/mission-trips) for more information.

Pray with Us for God’s Help

We are mindful that we need God’s help for our small efforts to have any impact making abortion unthinkable.  Pray that God would first cause our hearts to be humble and dependent on him, even as we work with great energy to make the most of the hours he gives us each week.  Pray also for our families and local church communities, that we would give them the time and energy they deserve, even as we stand in the gap for the nearly forgotten unborn children being take off to slaughter each day (Prov. 24:11-12).
