Prayer Bulletin

August 2007, Vol. 7, No. 8

"In prayer, it is better to have heart without words, than words without heart. Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin entice a man to cease from prayer. The spirit of prayer is more precious than treasures of gold and silver. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan."
John Bunyan

Prayer Links serves as a guide for your prayers for the ministry. You are free to pray for more requests than those designated for each day, if you like, or pray for items more than once in the month. You may want to use this guide for an extended time in prayer. We hope this guide allows us to agree with one another in prayer. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome.

We will send Prayer Links through the REACH Yahoo Group and through personal e-mail addresses if you inform us of your address. We ask each ministry area to have someone print, Xerox and distribute Prayer Links for the other members of your ministry area who do not have access to e-mail.

Please submit your praises and prayer requests no later than the 20th of each month to be included in the following month's Prayer Links. You may send your requests to Jun Pedroso at:
