Need Prayer?

Something I've been trying to do for a little while now is praying every Monday. Fresh off the weekend services where I talk with so many hurting kids and families I've decided to have an extended time of prayer every Monday for whoever wants it. I'll be praying for the various issues I am aware of. However if you have something you'd like me to be in prayer for you can email me @ dustin@fellowshiporlando.com All prayer request will of course be confidential and prayed for weekly. In Acts 3 Peter & John are asked by a beggar for some money. This is their response, "Look at us. I don't have any silver and gold for you. But I'll give you what I do have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!" I feel like I can relate to this story. I don't have this or that but what I do have I will give you. I have a divine connection (we all do) with the ruler of the Universe. So that is what I offer. Big or small, messy or clean, whatever your burden I am here to pray for you. Blessings!

Camp Bahamas: Pray 4 ballers

Early in the Summer I got to go with our High School ministry to the Bahamas for a mission trip. Over the week I was able to meet some really awesome people as well as some serious ballers. At the end of the basketball tournament I was able to present the gospel. The men in the picture above are the ones who made the decision to begin a relationship with Jesus. I ask that you pray for them. That God would bless them each with a love and passion for Him and His Word. Also some of them may read this blog so if you'd like to encourage them you can by leaving a comment on this post. Boys, I'm proud of you. I think of you often and will continue to pray for you. I pray God improves your basketball skills so I don't have to dominate you all again next summer :), just kidding you guys were killing it! Live for Him, Love each other, and don't get dunked on!

National Day of Prayer

Today is the national day of prayer. The beauty of Christianity is that not only are we permitted to talk to God (big, incredible, unbelievable God) but God is on the edge of His seat waiting for us to simply talk to Him. Here is a few thoughts for the day:

• Parents: If you are not praying for your kids chances are no one else is.
• CM Pastors: If you are not praying for you students chances are no one else is.

As a parent and as a CM Pastor I just can't deal with that. My kids and our students must be covered in prayer, it is a non-negotiable. Today I encourage you to slow down, get away for 5, 25, 250 minutes and just be with God. Develop that habit daily and you just may make a new best friend (his name is Jesus).
