Kids For The Kingdom

International Day of Prayer
Friday, August 10, 2007

“Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” - Luke 10:2

International Day of Prayer. The Bible reminds us to… pray at all times, pray for peace, pray the Gospel is declared, pray for the sick, pray for widows and orphans, pray for those who mistreat you, pray that the Lord be glorified, pray for one another, pray that God gives life and that all will be well, pray for the downcast, pray God’s will is done, and pray for more harvest workers.

In keeping with these (and other) Biblical injunctions Kids for the Kingdom has faithful prayer partners praying on a regular basis. To bring even more focus to our reliance on prayer we are setting aside Friday, August 10, 2007 as an International Day of Prayer. Children in Cambodia, India, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Russia, Ghana, and around the world will be praying. Children at orphan homes, Christian schools, Bible Clubs, feeding projects, and other programs and ministry venues will be praying on that day. Join with the children and join us praying for God’s hand of protection to be on our teams, national workers, and volunteers. Join us as we pray for those who hunger and thirst for righteousness and for those who do not yet know about God’s love. A few specific prayer needs…
