Brothers and sisters, pray for us. (1 Thes 5:25)
Let’s start the week praying together for our neighborhood and yours!
I’d like to help engage you more in what God is doing in Minneapolis.
Aslo, I want to join you in praying for your neighborhood.
Some things we may do:
· We’ll pray for each other. I'll ask about what God is doing in your neighborhood.
· I’ll take you on a virtual prayer walk in our neighborhood.
· I’ll show pictures and share stories of people whom God is reaching with our ministry.

Pray by Scripture
1 Timothy 2:1-6 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
Ezekiel 33:11 ...As I live, declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live...
Romans 13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
1 John 2:10-11 Whoever loves his brother abides in the light and in to him there is no cause for stumbling. But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Leviticus 19:34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
2 Corinthians 4:16-17 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.
