CURRENT MISSION PARTNER PRAYER NEEDS AND SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES

MISSION PARTNER PRAYER NEEDS

Alabama Baptist Children’s Home 

• Foster families-There are several with challenging placements right now, and those issues are magnified with the children being in the home all day with stay at home/safer at home orders being in place during the pandemic. 

• Pray for moms in our family care homes that are out of work right now. There are still some who are furloughed or were laid off.

The Day Program 

• We have had several of our adult participants lose their jobs due to the shut-down - and for the safety of our families as we transition back into providing in-person services.

Addiction Prevention Coalition

• Pray for us as we think ‘outside the box’ about how to best do prevention services with students and adults during the pandemic, and that God would lead us to the person He has planned for directing the student programs.

Hearts in Hands

• Wisdom for our leaders in how we get started back with helping and who to prioritize

• Volunteers to help and for their safety as they work

• Professional plumber(s) who will help for free or at a reduced rate

MISSION PARTNER SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES
