AUGUST PRAYER FOCUS — SERVING WITH THE JOY OF A PURE HEART
PERSONAL REFLECTION: “Therefore, if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind” (Phil 2:1-2).
- There's great joy when like-minded with Christ.
- Joy increases when those like-minded with Christ labor together for the kingdom.
- Pray that our churches will be filled with joy as we seek to be like-minded with Christ and therefore with one another.

See how the Gospel transforms lives—turning enemies into friends—and how missionaries are using simple acts of love to make an extraordinary difference around the world!
Pray with us this week:
- Ask God to heal the many VJF members struggling with pain, cancer, the side effects of chemotherapy, and other physical and mental health issues.
- Pray for our pastor as he shares the Word. Ask God’s Spirit to move within him, giving him boldness and clarity as he speaks. Ultimately, pray that God is glorified through him, our deacons, and church leadership.
- Pray for Prime Minister Netanyahu, for God to give him wisdom. Pray for Israeli soldiers as they rightly defend their country. Pray for Jews, Arabs, Egyptians, and Iranians to come before the Almighty God and cling to Him to find peace amid the turmoil in Jesus the Messiah.
- For our missionaries, pray for their strength and perseverance to run the race; that the Lord will bring people across their path who would encourage and uplift them.
- Pray for God’s provision over their family and ministry; for His protection against illness, injury, and danger.
- Pray that the joy of the Lord will sustain our missionaries in every trial and setback; that the light of God would shine through them, lifting darkness and oppression as they share His love.
- Ask the Lord to make fertile ground and prepare hearts to receive the gospel; that He set up divine appointments and open doors for ministry that only He can make possible.
