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).Prayer for an Open and Earnest Spirit
“When I watch little children at play, Jesus, I remember what you said about our needing to become like them. They teach me at least some of what you meant. They are fearless and enthusiastic explorers, laughing with delight at each new discovery or surprise. They lose themselves in their play, wholly absorbed in the moment, at one with the noises they make and the towers they build and the visions they see. Give me such an open and earnest spirit, God.”

A message from Chris Laufer, Coordinator, Faces of Children
Greetings, Faces of Children Prayer Partner,
The Midland Faces of Children prayer group will meet on Wednesday, February 19, 2014, at 11:30 a.m. in Room 217 at First Presbyterian Church-Midland, as we lift in prayer the children of our hearts and communities. The church is starting an 18-month-long renovation project and we won't have access to the Bride's Room during that time. We will have lunch ($5) and fellowship after our time of prayer. I hope you will be able to join us.
Thank you for praying for the children of our local and global communities. Your prayers matter! Your prayers are instruments of a gracious and generous God who uses them to bring healing and hope to a broken world. Thank you again for your faithfulness in prayer.
If you have prayer concerns or celebrations 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.
Grace and peace,
Chris
