Good News Clubs
- We pray Lord that you would work in the hearts of the SBUSD administrators. Soften their hearts and allow us to advertise our clubs through their newsletters so more kids can attend clubs. We also pray that SBUSD would waive custodial fees in all the schools where we have clubs.
- Thank you Lord that we are able to apply early to some of our other school districts as well. We pray for club approvals before Fall so we can concentrate on training and club preparations.
- Roosevelt – Thank you Lord that Roosevelt School offered us the MPR again this year at the classroom price. Thank you that so far, relations with the administrators is going better this year.
- Washington – Lord, we pray for a new director for the Washington Club, or that you would free up Leiah’s schedule so she can volunteer again.
- Hope – We pray that in the fall, a classroom would become available and that the principal would welcome the Hope club without a fight. We pray for the support of a Christian teacher.
- Vieja Valley – Lord, we pray that the Vieja Valley GNC would again be able to meet in the library, and that the Mormon kids would come back to hear God’s Word from the Bible.
- Cleveland – We praise you that Cleveland School GNC has already been approved for the upcoming school year. We also pray for new volunteers for this club in the fall, as Pam and Steve are not able to volunteer.
- Solvang – Lord, we pray that the children will attend 5-Day Club in Lompoc. Thank you Lord that the Christian teacher is allowing this club to meet in her classroom again, but on a different day, May even more kids be able to attend GNC now.
- We pray for the 6th grade graduates who are going to middle school – that they will take the Lord with them and have new opportunities to worship on campus.
- Lord, give the GNC volunteers rest and refreshment so they will be ready to serve in GNCs in the fall. We ask that you provide new volunteers in the clubs that need them, and that new clubs would open next year.
- We pray for the parents of our GNC kids and other parents – that they would have the urgency that the kids know the Lord.
5-Day Clubs
- We ask for the help of our faithful volunteers in our 5-Day Clubs. Lord, please guide us as we prepare the clubs the way you would have us do them so more kids can hear the gospel.
- Thank you Lord for providing the perfect location and dates for the Lompoc LEGO club. Thank you for the many volunteers who have stepped up to run this club. We pray you would bring all the kids you want to be there and that many would give their lives to you.
- Thank you Lord for Carpinteria Baptist Church’s partnership in running a 5-Day Lego Club. We pray many children will attend. Thank you to the volunteers who have been helping Sharon pass out flyers for this club, and for those able to serve.
- Lord, thank you for your guidance in the decision to cancel the Alameda Park 5-day Club at this time. We pray that we will have another opportunity soon to have an open-air ministry in the park.
Other CEF prayers:
- Lord, thank you for our dedicated board. Grant them rest during this summer.
- Lord, help Sharon and Ana as they reach out to pastors. Give pastors the desire to partner with CEF and to send us volunteers so we can start new clubs and keep our current clubs running.
