Dalton & Paulette Walker

BBFI New Zealand

Dec 1 - We pray for numerical growth in our work and that God will continue to send people who can help our church grow.

Dec 15 - Please pray with us as we continue our outreach ministries during the Christmas season – and that God might give us new ideas.
Dec 22 - Pray for JD and Al, who are facing deep personal trials that exceed anything we’ve seen before. Please join us in prayer over these two men in our church family.
Dec 29 - Pray for ministry opportunities within the community. Currently, we have a foot in a hospital and a retirement village through our head Deacon, and also a chaplain. We are seeking more and more opportunities.

DECEMBER PRAYER FOCUS

— SHARING THE PEACE OF CHRIST

PERSONAL REFLECTION — HE IS OUR PEACE: “For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation” (Ephesians 2:14).

Take time to praise the Lord for the peace you have in Him.
Who are the people in your life who have no peace because they do not have Jesus? Take a moment to pray for them.
Are there relationships that you know of that are strained? Pray that God will break down the barriers that exist between them.
Pray that the peace of Christ will bring peace between people groups.
