Please God, bless Your body. Let each of the people in Your body get closer to You. Let there be unity between the body.
Please bless the kids. Help them to grow in their knowledge of You. Help them learn and want to know more about You. Give them good role models that they can follow as they grow up. Please let them be a light to their families and the people in their schools and let them be a light to the older people in the church.
Bless the second generation youth who might or might not belong to these churches. Give them a sense of identity in You and let them hunger after You. If they've been affected by splits in the church, please heal them from that hurt and give them hope in You, hope that You'll bring unity to Your body. Teach them how to be leaders and make them humble servants and leaders.
For the Arabic-speaking shabab who might have come recently to the US, I pray that You help them to be plugged into the Body first. Help them to fit into the culture around them. Be their best friend and be their guide if they're lonely here. Help the church get close to them and be their family if their family is not around.
Bless the marriages here. Protect the relationships that you hold so dear to You.
Bless the leaders in the churches. Give them a vision for Your work. Help them follow Your leadership.
Bless the senior people in the church. Give them the help they need and help the church to support them.
I'm asking all of this because I know You care about the church, Your body. You care about it way more than any of us does. Protect Your church from the devil and his tactics. Give us unity.

Greetings,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emmanuela Jeune. I came upon your blog and was thrilled to know an Arab Christian community does exist near me. I am fairly new to this area.
I do not know if you still receive messages on this blog. I just wanted to make contact with you because I have been wanting to attend an Arabic church in SoCal. I am a graduate student in a local medical university in San Bernandino. My contact info is emjeune@gmail.com. I wait your reply. Thank you, Emmanuela Jeune
