Prayers for Teacher Part 1

As a new school year starts this week, class let's lift up the many Catalyst girls who are going back to school as teachers, counselors, and coaches. Here are some verses of encouragement as they start the new year.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,and on his law he meditates day and night.He is like a tree planted by streams of water,which yields its fruit in seasonand whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Psalm 1:2-3

The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip.
Psalm 37:31

He will be like a tree planted by the waterthat sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of droughtand never fails to bear fruit."
Jeremiah 17:8

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:58

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 1:16

PBC Missioins

Here are some prayer requests for Prestonwood's Missions currently going on:

Sudan: During Aug. 4-15, 17 members from Prestonwood will travel to Southern Sudan for a church planting mission trip. The team will work alongside Pastor David Kaia, an e3 church planter and Sudanese National. Pray for hearts to be open to the gospel and the successful planting of a new church. Check for daily video updates on the Prestonwood missions website.


Sudan: Southern Sudan is experiencing a difficult drought this summer. This has left many without food and water in the area where our team will be ministering. Pray for rain in this region and for provision to meet the people's physical needs and that while our team is there, they will have opportunities to meet physical needs and share the gospel.

Sudan: Prestonwood joins with e3 Partners to help train pastors and missionaries through Bible School in Kajo Keji, Sudan. Pray for the Bible School students who will be sent out to surrounding villages and cities to share the Gospel and plant churches after their training. Pray that they would be established in right doctrine while in school and that they would be bold in their witness for Christ as they go out among the Sudanese.

Serve the City: Pray for all those who will be ministered to during this weekend. Pray for those who are searching for a job, for single mothers who are struggling, and for widows and widowers who need help. Pray that God would call out the people of our church to help meet these needs.


Romania: Pray for Troy Geddes, the IMB missionary with whom we serve in Romania. Many people came to know Christ during last month's trip; pray for Troy as he begins to disciple many of the new believers in Braila, Romania. Pray also for the health of Troy's family members as they invest their lives in the people of Braila.

"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."
1st Corinthians fifteen: fifty-eight
