Prayer Ministry
“You will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will hear you.” Jeremiah 29:12
Many times prayer seems to be an after thought to an incident in our personal lives or an event in our ministry. The leaders of the National Children’s Ministry Conference have determined that prayer will be a foundation of the July 11-13, 2008 event. Every two weeks, a prayer outline will be shared with district and national leadership, the conference planning team, children’s ministry and family ministry action teams, and eventually conference volunteers and participants. Prayer partners are invited to adapt petitions for individual, family, or ministry settings and are encouraged to add personal petitions.

Consider children of today and tomorrow. Wonder at the many ways our gracious God will work in and
through them. Imagine children and adults sharing the baptismal journey as missionaries and world
changers. Imagine children —
. . . growing strong in their faith
. . . focused on God’s presence
. . . led by prepared, caring teachers
. . . nurtured in loving homes supported by strong congregations
. . . developing healthy relationships
. . . equipped as stewards of God’s resources
. . . actively engaged in service, witness, worship.
Imagine children boldly confessing, “This Jesus is like no other. He is Christ, the Son of God.”
Your financial gift . . . as an individual . . . as a family . . . as an organization . . . in memory of someone who
championed you . . . as a deposit of hope in our Church’s ministry to children . . .
WILL CHAMPION CHILDREN by
providing scholarships
assuring diversity
equipping teachers
enriching learning
expanding mission and ministry
supporting ministries with children
extending the Gospel to the next generation. . . So no child is deprived of knowing and experiencing the love of Jesus. Join in providing needed financial
resources so our dream—our hope—for children is indeed their reality.
BE A CHAMPION FOR CHILDREN!
