Invitation to Prayer

Faces of Children is an ecumenical prayer ministry under the auspices of First Presbyterian Church of Midland, Texas. Our mission is to initiate ministries of prayer for children in churches, communities, and neighborhoods. In doing so, we seek to provide an opportunity for people of God to join together, learn about children and their needs throughout the world, and celebrate Christ's love (especially as it relates to children).

Matthew 18:18-20, Jesus, describing prayer to his disciples

"Take this most seriously: A yes on earth is yes in heaven; a no on earth is no in heaven.
What you say to one another is eternal. I mean this.
When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it,
God in heaven goes into action.
And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I’ll be there."

A message from Chris Laufer, Coordinator, Faces of Children

Greetings, Faces of Children Prayer Partner,

Thank you for so faithfully lifting children before God in prayer!

Each Wednesday, we provide an opportunity for Faces of Children intercessors/prayer partners in the Midland/Odessa area to come together for prayer, lunch ($5), and fellowship. We will meet for prayer on Wednesday, October 26, 2011, at 11:30 a.m. in the Bride's room at First Presbyterian Church-Midland, to pray for the children of our local and global communities. I hope you will join us this coming Wednesday to continue this important work of prayer.

If you have requests about children, those who care for them, those who have authority over them, or those who harm them (the really hard prayers to say sometimes), please send them to me at at claufer@facesofchildren.net, or give me a call.

With a grateful heart for your praying heart,

Chris
