Pray With Us

December 12, 2023 | Josh Akin

Building Tomorrow Together is our way of drawing our community of faith together for the future.  Join us in praying for the upcoming building project, and the many lives that will be transformed by our prayerful work in the Lord.

Pray when possible that the estimated $400,00 that we need to complete this renovation project, is raised by God’s Spirit through our community

Pray for the people far or near (by name when possible), including:

  • Your family members to meet and/or grow in the love and grace of Christ.
  • Individuals in our area that are heavy on your heart.
  • People who are visibly hurting.  List those hurts to God.
  • People who are visibly running from God in immorality or godlessness.
  • Christians whose churches are closing and need Bible-centered fellowship.

Relationships

God created us for discipleship, but without relationships there is none. Pray with us that our new renovations foster Christian relationships.

Pray when possible that the total of $85,000 that we need or $250 per person, is raised by God’s Spirit through our community

Pray for your relationships, including:

  • Your family, friends, acquaintances (by name) to come to Christ.
  • That God will work in your life to become more like Him.
  • Those relationships in your life that you want direction from the Holy Spirit to grow.
  • That the Holy Spirit heal a relationship with someone you feel distant from.  Who is that?
  • That during this this next phase of remodeling the building, we grow closer as a church community.
  • That once the project is completed, in Jesus’ Name, we continue to welcome new people, grow closer as a community.
  • For anyone who comes seeking healing in relationships.

Safety

GraceBuilt helps others learn and live out the Bible. But learning is nearly impossible without a safe environment.  The facility renovations are designed with many safety features, such as limited entries, video monitoring and locks, and digital access to the building.  But ultimately, we know that our safety is in God’s hands.

Pray when possible that the total of $23,000 or $70 per person, is raised by God’s Spirit through our community

Pray for:

  • The Safety Team: The team and its members are engaged, trained, well-staffed, and both loving and firm.
  • Every child and every adult feels safe while in Kids’ Church, or anywhere in the church, our weekday ministries, and our daycare.
  • Kids Ministry: That all members are well-trained to teach and keep kids safe; that all safety procedures are followed consistently.
  • The Building: That it be well-maintained: for fire safety, emergencies, and evening ministries.
  • Volunteers or Deacons: Pray that those who love their church will help their church in any way they can, especially in looking after the kids and the facility that houses our children.

Worship Experience

GraceBuilt worship services empower our community to discover and grow in Jesus.

Pray when possible that the total amount of $225,000 or $640 per person, is raised by God’s Spirit through our community.

Pray for changed lives:

  • That the word of God transforms the lost and strengthens the saints for serving God.
  • That the unchurched might come and feel loved.
  • That those whose churches have closed might grow in grace with us.

Pray for our worship:

  • That the worship might be spirit-led and free from anything that distracts from Christ.
  • That the worship arts team might be able to serve with joy and are free from technical headaches.
  • That Worship might be a time of rest and joy for all, where all can participate freely because of God’s grace.

Pray, when possible, for the facility:

  • That all can clearly hear and see the events in the auditorium.
  • That the room might be comfortable and free from distractions.
  • Sensory and Mothers’ Rooms might be full of people growing in God.

Online Resources

We reach those near and far to learn and live out the Bible.

Pray when possible that the total amount of $22,500 or $15 per online viewer, is raised by God’s Spirit through our community.

Many of our neighbors today are either afraid to go to church, or sense a lot of shame and then do not think they should go to church.  Others are too skeptical to come but are still curious.  Others are simply unable to attend in person, but still want to part of a Body of Christ Online ministry affords opportunities for those too afraid, ashamed, proud, or unable to come in person

Pray for:

  • The fearful
  • The ashamed
  • The skeptic
  • The unable

To reach people online, technology must work!  Pray for…

  • Tech that works, including:
    • Connectivity
    • Video/audio
    • Editing
    • Platforms to reach the largest populations

Next Generation

At GraceBuilt, we believe that kids are our MOST important ministry.  The new improvements will approximately triple the kids space for 150 kids.

Pray when possible that the total amount of $32,200 or $215 and per child, is raised by God’s Spirit through our community.

Pray that each child:

  • Come to know Christ.
  • Develop Godly practices.
  • Shares Jesus throughout their lifetime to family, friends, future spouses, children and others.
  • Become the next generation of believers at GraceBuilt Church!

Pray for our Kids Ministry Team, for:

  • Enough volunteers to teach well in an orderly environment.
  • Each volunteer loves Jesus and His kids.
  • Each volunteer has a heart to disciple.
  • That our kids ministry leaders might love serving Jesus, and His kids.

Pray for facility, furnishings, materials, that:

  • Each room is completely furnished.
  • We can purchase enough Bibles and art supplies.
  • Maintenance and clean up that is easy for volunteers.
