40 Days of Prayer: Day 22

EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 22: For CCM

Today we begin a few days of praying for our partners in the ministry to our Atlanta community. Let's pray for Cross-Cultural Ministries, particularly their Chamblee location and Ms. Virginia Cosgrove, its director. Pray for Virginia's health and for her to be able to manage her health needs and the ministry. Pray for the children, youth, and families who participate in the programs there. Our members are involved with after-school tutoring and Sunday afternoon tutoring for Chinese-speakers. It's quite a community there with many needs. God cares about them all, so let's pray for the health, welfare, and spiritual development of children, youth, and adults.

"What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." - James 2:14-17 ESV

"Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’" - Matthew 25:24-40 ESV
