Pray for VBS 2023

"Prayer, reflection, and worship should be at the centerpiece of what you do for VBS, because in the middle of managing the day-to-day tasks and the endless to-do lists, this most important centerpiece can get lost."  For the entire AiG article "The Calm Before the Storm," click HERE

Prayer Requests for Keeper of the Kingdom VBS 2023

Matthew 22:37 - 40 is a great passage to use as a prayer guide for Trinity's  Keeper of the Kingdom VBS 2023.

If these contain Jesus' answers to the question, "Which is the greatest commandment in the law?" then we should pray God would give us the wisdom and ability to follow these commands.

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. 

And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 

All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Prayer #1:

Pray the workers' first desire would be to glorify God as they teach the Bible to children (v. 37).  Pray we would love the Lord, our God, with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind, even as energy is drained throughout the week.

Prayer #2: 

Pray the workers would love the kids God brings to VBS (v.39).  We would love to have a large number of kids here so they can hear God's Word taught.  We also want to be thankful for every single child, no matter the total number God brings.

Prayer #3:

Pray the kids will grow closer and closer to God and love Him more and more.  If it be God's will, may He use the time in VBS to help kids love God with all their heart, soul, and mind. 

Prayer #4:

Pray for ongoing opportunities to minister to the kids and families from VBS.  Some of the families will have solid, Bible-preaching churches.  Let's thank God for the brief part we are able to play in these families lives.  Some of the families will be part of the Trinity church family.  Let's thank God for another opportunity to build into these families lives.  Some of the families will not have a solid, Bible-preaching home church.  Let's pray that, if the Lord wills, these families can connect with Trinity Baptist Church, and they would grow in the Lord.

Prayer #5

Pray for Faith In Deeds, the orphanage in India we are raising money for this year.

BOTTOMLINE,  let's pray for our church family to make the most of this ministry opportunity for the glory of God.
