Praise God for Muslins coming to Christ among chaos. Many Syrians are feeling they are not wanted in their country any more. Please pray that people won’t lose hope and Christians will be strengthened through their faith. Please also continue to lift up Syria, and pray for an end to the conflict. Please pray for a solution to all the political unrest in Libya. The stress for Christians, and particularly every Libyan, is unbearable. Pray that God will bring peace to the hearts of His children. LOCALLY: Give thanks and praise for all our Pastoral Care Workers. Pray for the school staff and communities, especially new staff and principals, as they begin the new year. We pray for all past, current and future members of Kairos for their commitment and contribution to this growing ministry. Their involvement has made more people aware of Kairos in the wider community. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people.” (Colossians 3:23 TEV) No matter what you do — sweeping the streets, running a corporation, or the work of a stay-at-home mum — your job is more than a job. The Bible says that while you are here on earth, you should use your work as an act of worship. This means that whatever you do, you are to do it with enthusiasm. If your heart is not in it, you are in the wrong job. If you are not working with all your heart, you are sinning. I didn't say that; the Bible says it . Why work with all your heart? Because you are working “as though you were working for the Lord and not for people.” No matter what I do, if it is to prepare a meal, sign an invoice, do an analysis, close a deal, make a sale, make a delivery — whatever it is, I am to do it as if I'm doing it for God, and so it becomes an act of worship. How will the way you work change now that you know it is an act of worship? Rick Warren FAMILY: Please uphold our Church family members that are struggling with serious health issues; for those who need/ are recovering from surgery; for those who suffering mental health issues.

Pray for all the MCC programs starting up again in February for the New Year.
