One more thing….please!
Our congregation has served at My Brothers’ Keeper, (MBK) in Flint for several years—donating food, cooking and serving dinner and donating warm clothing. Most importantly we’ve been sharing the Gospel with them. Now, we’re asking YOU to do one more thing–spend some time in prayer for them.
On May 4, the National Day of Prayer, we asked our MBK guests to fill out a prayer request form. Twenty-three men wrote heart-wrenching requests—as they seek their way back into employment and their own home, praying their families will be once more united and health issues resolved.
If you’d consider praying for these men, faithfully this month, here’s a prayer that encompasses most of their requests.
God, our Father, our church has seen the homeless and the hopeless up close and met them in person. It breaks our hearts to know that we cannot do more than our once-a-month ministry.
Father, sometimes we feel helpless because their hope is dried up, they have nothing left. Several of these homeless men are veterans who served us and our county honorably.
God, use these homeless people’s problems to draw them closer to You through Your Son’s redemptive work at Calvary. Help each one today, receive a bit of hope but most importantly, give them the only hope in this life and the life to come that is found only in Jesus Christ. Many of them have lost everything –but still have faith in You. They requested prayer- I pray for them in Jesus Holy Name, Amen.
