Supported Worker: Shoreline Church
Country: United States of America
Details: Pray for Shoreline as they look for opportunities to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and share the message of redemption with their local community during the Easter season. Pray for those visiting Shoreline for the first time would be welcomed and ministered to by the church body. As their Young Families Ministry meets at a local park this month, pray for the bonds of unity and fellowship to be strengthened. Pray for Theresa Durbin and her volunteers who lead the Lunchbox Kids group. Thank the Lord for the 19 students who said “yes” to Jesus at Greater Cleveland Youth For Christ’s “Big Chill” event held at the Youth for Christ City Life Center on the urban west side. Please pray for the leaders as they follow up with each student. Also, thank God that the “Deaf Teen Quest Club” (for deaf and hard of hearing students), held at the City Life Center, is going well. Solomon Islands (Pacific). Population: 756,673 Believers: 33.3%. Ethnic diversity and fragmentation as well as geography render the Solomons a patchwork of tribes and political groups rather than a unified nation. This hinders not just national identity but also Christian ministry. Pray that God might knit these many islands and tribes together in the gospel. Saint Barthélemy (Caribbean). Population: 11,019 Believers: 2.3%. This island caters to the uber-rich, trading on its sophistication and isolation for its exclusivity. There is little interest in spiritual things. Pray that amid the boutiques, cafés, and villas there might awaken a hunger for spiritual reality and the opportunity to know God. Pray also that the few churches on the island might minister meaningfully into this unique context. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
