Prayer Walk

Tonight's Kyrios program, we went out in small groups and walked around the church neighbourhood. We took in some of the sights and sounds in the area--Metro Square, the T&T plaza, and even the adjacent office buildings. It was fitting that we did it on Remembrance Day 'cause it was good to remember how many people around us we can pray for... Walking around with the other teens was refreshing as well 'cause we'd all observe something different and from a another perspective...

Some things that we prayed for (and you could pray for as well) included:

• The success of new businesses at the plaza. Many owners, especially for small businesses, have invested their life savings into starting up the stores. We've already seen one of them close down.
• That the businesses can operate them not only successfully, but honestly--serving fresh food, paying fair wages, selling 'real' items. OK, maybe that last one is a stretch with Chinese businesses. ;)
• The people--whether retail or in the offices--who put in long hours in their work to support their family and put food on their table. Even around 9 PM, there were still quite a few people left in the office buildings. Pray that they will get enough time to spend with their family and friends, especially in the upcoming holiday season.
• The continued integration of TCCC in its community, so that other businesses don't see the church as a threat, rather as a friend. Hopefully, we can continue to be good witnesses of the Christian faith to those around us.
