How do we pray for our Ministry? I'm asking the Lord, "How do You want to make the transition from our tangible expression of care to these ladies - to a relationship these ladies have with You?" Pray for these ladies to accept a relationship with Jesus. If we engage in this monthly ministry and do not look at the larger picture of what God wants to do, then burnout and dropout often occurs. Consider these questions: Are we seeing single moms wanting to reinvest their lives into volunteering in this ministry? Congratulations, we're seeing that! Ladies are asking if there's any way they can help. Some are volunteering their family members to come along and help with them. A few are checking out the Life Skills class that Jan leads. (Of course they've already checked out the church because you are the frontline ambassador of the church. They met you at the oil change!) Second question: Are we fostering relationship with these ladies? I personally want Becky and me to work more on this and I hope you will join us. I'm fascinated by their stories. They tug at our hearts. So how can we foster times of relationship-building? Perhaps a picnic where we all pitch in hamburgers and hotdogs? Inviting them to our family campfire get-togethers? Inviting them to our Sunday School and small-group social outings? There are many possibilities!
