PRAYER POINTS:

Local:
Franktown Open Hearts is one of our local ministry partners. They work with men ages 8-18 in Williamson County. Every Thursday night 50-100 young men come together for fellowship, food, fun activities, and most importantly, prayer and a Christian life lesson. Please be in prayer for these young men, that they would know the love of Christ. Pray for wisdom and direction for the volunteer leaders as they shepherd the hearts of these young men.

Global:
Please continue to be in prayer for the situation in the Gaza. Egyptian mediators pushed the Hamas group to accept a truce proposal for the Gaza strip while the U.N. secretary general headed to the region to join efforts for a cease-fire. So many people have died. Pray for the Lord to intervene and for those that have lost friends and family to the attacks.
