Praying for the Workers in the the Field

 Members of the Spiritual Life Team 

of the Southeastern District 

gathered for a 24 hour Prayer retreat at 

Richmond Hill Retreat Center this week.

 Under the leaedership of Deaconess Robie Hillhouse 

there is a plan in place to cover

 those in the field of called ministry,

and those serving in places of leadership.

There are specific prayer groups for each gathering.

 They pray for the churches and ministries. 

Specific needs if known, are lifted in prayer

 for the schools, preschools and the people.

 This time set aside is to cover

 the work of the Holy Spirit

 in the lives of the workers in the Kingdom.

There is much to be done, 

resources are dwindling, 

challenges abound.

But, the Lord of the Harvest is faithful.

 Gathering this week- individual prayers 

were offered for each preschool director, 

child care director,

school administrator and school principal.

We give thanks 

for these members 

who were able to gather this week-
