NLC's 1st Monday - Prayer and Fasting Day

Hello World-of-NLC:

I gotta be honest with you, I can't believe it's August already! Back to school is just around the corner and I am absolutely pumped about the opportunities God is placing in front of us in the next few months.

Thanks for setting aside the 1st Monday of August to dedicate this month to God through Prayer and Fasting. For more info on Fasting go to: www.NextLevelChurch.com/fasting.

Here are a list of Prayer Points to be sure to lift up to God throughout the day:

• The Future Facility for Next Level Church. We are in a Season of Preparation as a church. Pray that God will continue to bless the people of NLC and continue to prompt their hearts to give above and beyond the normal Tithe. The first 2 Future Facility Offerings have been extremely successful! Pray for Creative Wisdom for NLC Leadership as we seek to find the right Facility God has for us.


• The Peopel of NLC:

1. Jobs


2. Promotions


3. Breakthroughs


4. To Get out of Debt


5. Miracles in Relationships


6. To Continue to Engage SOAP-ing on a Daily Basis.

• NLC's Fall Semester of Connection Groups. In just a few weeks we're going to be launching 100 Connection Groups all across Southwest Florida! These CG's are small group environments for people to connect and go deeper in their relationship with God and with others. Pray for Leaders to rise up and for NLCers to take the step to plug in.


• The Shuffle Series that begins August 16th. As people prepare to go back to school and for the fall season in general, we always reconsider our priorities. Pray that the Shuffle series is a great jumpstart for people to prioritize the right things this fall, not just the urgent.


• Our NLC Missionaries:

1. Luke Walters – In Sri Lanka right now holding crusades, evangelizing and    training leaders for the Gospel.


2. Christ for India – Jameson, Johnson and Mary (their mother) Titus.  Pray for the Seminary, Children’s School with 800 children, Medical Clinics and Church Planting across India.


3. Kelly and Kathy Johnson – Kenya. Pray for favor as they continue to train dozens of pastors across the nation of Kenya. Pray for our team as we prepare to go in September.


4. Mark and Stephanie Pyles – Dominican Republic. Pray for their “Youth Church” that is reaching teenagers and 20-somethings in Santiago, DR. The 2nd largest city in the entire nation.

• The Annual Back Pack Give-Away in August! Saturday, August 15th, we are planning on giving away 5,000 packbacks to needy families across SW FL! Pray for God’s favor as we continue to need miracles by way of sponsorship and support for this event that touches thousands of families!

Thanks again for praying, together we’re making a difference!
