This Month's Prayer Needs: November

At City Church we strive to be a community of prayer dependent on God for His purpose, protection, and provision. Please join us in praying for these community members and partners this month.

EVERYDAY DOXOLOGISTS: ARTISTS & DESIGNERS

Please pray for members of City Church who use their God-given creativity in their work as designers and artists. Pray that God would: open doors for their talents to be used and refined in a fulfilling arena; refresh and inspire their hearts and minds as they spend time in God’s presence; give them new excitement for their work; strengthen them in boldness to witness to clients through a Christ-like example of attitudes and actions; and give them an appreciation of God’s design of creation so they can share it with others.

LOCAL MISSION PARTNER: THE BARNABAS CENTER

The Barnabas Center is a nonprofit, Christ-centered counseling, training, and teaching ministry with whom City Church has partnered for several years. The staff members at Barnabas continue to serve the hurting in our community through counseling, which moved entirely online in March, and through their training groups—they have welcomed more participants in these groups this year than in the past three years. Please join them in praising God for how He has sustained them in these difficult times, including the provision of new office space that they moved into in April. The Barnabas Center staff asks for prayer as they care for clients during these challenging times—please pray for their strength and wisdom as they counsel others. Please also pray for provision financially by donors so that they are in a position to continue offering scholarship rates to any who need it.

GLOBAL MISSION PARTNER: JESSICA FORBES

Jessica Forbes is a City Church ministry partner currently serving in Prague with Serge’s DoSlova Team—“DoSlova” is Czech for “in the world.” The DoSlova Team is planting a new church in Prague that emphasizes outreach to Czechs and long-term residents of Prague. By worshiping in Czech and English, and seeking to have worship and church life shaped by Czech culture, the team hopes to be a church where Czechs feel comfortable exploring the Christian faith, and are ultimately raised up to lead and plant Czech churches. Please pray for Jessica and her current work learning Czech and helping with women’s discipleship, brothel outreach, and anti-human trafficking efforts around the city.
