Pray For Us: An Update From Chris

Every day in the Temple and in people’s homes they continued teaching the people and telling the Good News—that Jesus is the Christ. (Acts 5:42, NCV)

We have really good news to share. Jesus is the One! He has made a path for us to a new, full life– the life of the dreams we never dared to dream. Jesus is the God who seems too good to be true, but is true. On Easter, we have an incredible opportunity to share Jesus with others who long for good news.

Many of our neighbors, family, friends, co-workers, and classmates will be looking for a service to attend on Easter Sunday. So please pray:

1. God would draw people to himself through Everyday Church. And while you’re at it, spread the word! Post info about our service on facebook, or tweet it.
2. For specific people you know. And while you’re at it, be bold and invite people. Talk to your family and encourage them to visit your faith-family. Send some text messages, emails, make some calls– whatever– just don’t keep the good news to yourself.
3. That our service is powerful, effective, encouraging, and honors God.

Pray For Us: An Update From Matt

The Everyday Youth Group is alive and well, and even making headlines!

A few weeks ago at the height of the silly viral Youtube phenomenon called “The Harlem Shake,” we recorded our own version. A local online news publication called DNAinfo.com included our video in a story here. Then that same story was picked up by AM New York, a commuter paper that goes out to about 350K subway riders. You can watch the video here: Everyday Youth Group Harlem Shake.

We’re not sure how God might use this, but there are so many kids in NYC who do not know Christ. Please pray that God would provide opportunities to get more and more kids involved with this youth group whether it is through the funny video we made, or any other way. Thank you for your prayers.Everyday Youth Group Harlem Shake

Pray For Us: An Update From Chris

EyslynWould you please pray that people would pray? I know that sounds weird, but I mean it. There’s a new Prayer Team forming with Everyday Church under the leadership of a young woman named Eyslyn. She’s gathering people together to pray over our Teaching Services, our Everyday Groups, and the prayer requests we receive on our Connect Cards. The Prayer Team sends out encouraging notes to people they are praying for.

I think this is one of the best developments in our new church, and that God will surprise us with how he responds to our prayers. Imagine how people’s faith will grow when they see him graciously responding to our prayers.

Please ask God to give Eyslyn wisdom, passion, and perseverance for this ministry. Pray he would protect her. Pray he would raise others up to help her lead. Pray he would call many others to join with them.

And seriously, hold onto your socks, because when people get serious about praying, you never know what God might do. On that note, while you’re praying for this new Prayer Team, go ahead and pray for yourself: is this a ministry you should be a part of? If so, Contact Us for more information.

I’m praying for all of you!
