Moment of Intentional Prayer
I think in our liturgy, we have a moment of prayer. There's a point where we can pray include your prayers, whatever they are. If it's a system or organization that you're like, Hey, this is important that that's the one that gets mentioned every week, every Sunday were mentioned in that every Sunday.

Mention the Specific Ministry
We're mentioning the foster care community every Sunday when I mentioned the foster care community. If it's a one off, then perhaps you have rotating families that do a one off instead of. So if you do it every week, but it's not the same family that does it every week.

Prayer to Build Teams and Remember Workers
And so you build into building teams that then carry this on. And so the prayer hits them in the feels because they feel remembered for what they did, right? Like that whenever we approach that, the first thing that I tell a congregation over and over again is pray for the people wherever it is.

Pray Over the Ministry Weekly
You're talking about whatever community it is you're thinking about. Do a ministry over there? OK, yeah. Pray, pray like prayer in the weekly liturgy so late that becomes a thing number one.

12 Countries Later - Learned bunches and I'm thankful to be alive! God is good! He has rescued me more times than I am even aware of and though it hasn't been an easy journey, so far it has been worth it. Lord willing, I'd like to share some of the experiences from the sports camps in the Dominican Republic to the streets of Strasburgh. Praise God for another day! and as many as he blesses us with! Peace y'all!
James West drills wells to get clean water for people so he can show them the love of Jesus. As a plumber in Pittsburgh, PA, James West has helped a lot of people.
