Network Tacoma "Dinner for 50": April 11, 2011
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for Network Tacoma workers and clients. We lift this organization before your throne and ask that You would bless each staff member spiritually, physically and financially. Thank you for providing for the needs of this organization. Go before us as we serve them dinner on April 11. Bring volunteers to serve the meal. Bring the finances we need to present and serve a lovely meal to bless each one eating with us. Help us to be a blessing to each other and to the Network Tacoma men and women on this day.
Partners Overnight Retreat: April 15-16, 2011
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity that we have to go to the Talley's gorgeous Swiss chalet in Cle Elum, Washington. Bless the Talley's in every way, Lord and multiply back to them as they are giving to us during this retreat. Please send the women that You would have to this retreat. Bind us together, Lord, with chords that cannot be broken. Give us sweet fellowship with each other and with You. Train us and equip us to be leaders in our communities and light in the darkness around us. Bless Tom as he brings his expertise to us. We ask that he be blessed as he gives of his time and talents on Saturday. Let us leave there with a new vigor, a renewed sense of purpose and with Your blessing as we embark on another season of serving You on behalf of the poor and the needy. Bless our agenda of relaxing with friends, praying, sharing, training, reviewing, creating and planning and let it be Your agenda throughout our time together. Give us safe travels and sweet memories.
Heart of the Matter Module 2 Study Group: Spring 2011
Thank you Heavenly Father for the HOTM study currently going in Federal Way and for the one to come in Gig Harbor. Enlighten us to Your call and give us conviction about how we are to help the marginalized women and children in our world. Break out hearts for the things that break Your Heart. Equip us to be your women for this generation.
Joeseppi's Restaurant "Takeover" Fundraiser: May 16, 2011
Lord,
We need Your help with this fundraiser. We believe that this is a way to raise funds for our projects. Please help us Lord. We need a leader for this event who will coordinate all of the parts. Help us Lord by sending hundreds of people to eat dinner between 4:00 and 8:00 PM. Help us Lord by sending the bussers and servers too. We know that when we pray and ask You that You do amazing things, so we turn this over to You and ask that You go before us and open the door for many to come and for us to earn all the money that You want us to earn for Network Tacoma homeless women and children, our National Project in Appalachia and the World Vision After Care Center Project in Cambodia. We are looking to You for big things on that night and we will be sure to give You all the praise and the honor and the glory for what You will do.
Half the Sky Book Club: May 23rd and June 6th, 2011
Oh Lord, this book is difficult to read in many chapters. When we read first hand about the atrocities of modern day human slavery it makes us weep and it is difficult to read page after page, yet we want to understand, we want to know so that we can be impassioned to act. Thank you for the hopeful ways presented in this book to help the victims of these heinous crimes against girls and women. Give us the courage to read this book, the commitment to discuss it at these book clubs and the conviction to take action.
Seattle Rock n Roll Marathon - 1/2 Marathon: June 25, 2011
Lord we ask that this team will raise at least $1000 for our projects. Give those participating generous sponsors. We ask that you would give them strength and stamina for this race. Bless their efforts, Lord and let this event be a testimony to the community of your compassion and love. Thank you for the good report that will come about this day.
Appalachia Trip: Week of July 24, 2011
Heavenly Father, thank you for the opportunity for this life-changing trip for the women who choose to go. Thank you for the opportunity that they will have to view and participate in World Vision's U.S. Programs work taking place in rural West Virginia. We pray that they will bond with their traveling companions and return even more motivated to make a difference. Thank You, Lord, for using them to minister and be a blessing to those in Appalachia. We ask for traveling mercies and reasonably priced airfare and car rental rates. Thank You for being present throughout this trip in every way throughout each day.
Sheryl WuDunn Event Fundraiser: September 18, 2011
Finally, Lord, You gave Brenda a vision for this event and You moved on the heart of a World Vision donor to bring Sheryl to Seattle. Thank you for this opportunity to share with the Seattle community the truths about modern day slavery and the hope that we have in You as we stand against it. Bring Sheryl here safely, bless her as she comes. We know that we serve a God of the amazing and we know that You are going to work all things together and weave a beautiful tapestry, orchestrate a wonderful symphony and bring women and men from the north, the south, the east and the west to this event who will be moved and whose hearts will be stirred to make a difference against modern day slavery. This is our big fundraiser, Lord. We need You. We need You to coordinate all of the Washington chapters planning this event; we need You to give wisdom and favor; we need You to open doors and close doors to bring about an evening that will raise funds to sponsor our projects. Help us to remember that we do all of this for the poor children and women in Tacoma, Appalachia and Cambodia, the places of our projects. Lord, this is bigger then all of us put together, yet it is nothing for You. We thank you in advance for what You will do and for the funds that you will bring to these projects through this event.
Lord, we don't want to be busy for busy's sake; we want to make a difference for Your Kingdom's sake. We ask that You would help us to leave a foot print in this community that will draw all people to You through what we do and who we are as Women of Vision and Your women. Give us Your perspective on these events and help us to view them from that perspective. When we get stressed from over doing, give us peace. We we lose our way and feel overwhelmed, bring us back to the solid Rock. We are frail and weak, yet we know that You are strong and mighty to stand. Thank you for the privilege of serving You and others. We ask all of these things in Your Name, Jesus. Amen
