Join us praying for our future Pastor and his family,
for the Pastoral search committee and for our church.
Prayers for the next Pastor:
Colossians 3:12-17 — Above all, pray that God’s will would be done
through the entire process of finding a new pastor. Pray that the Holy Spirit
will give everyone involved in this process wisdom and peace. Pray that God
will show us whom He is calling.
Colossians 1:9-12 — Pray for our next pastor’s family. Pray that God,
who knows who they are, would strengthen and guide the new pastor’s family
as they are led toward ministry at our church. Give them peace in knowing God’s will.
Amos 4:13 — Pray that the new pastor will have a clear vision for
how to minister to the people of Olive Branch Seventh-day Adventist Church and the surrounding
community. Pray that many will come to know Jesus through our church.
Luke 12:22-31 — Pray that the new pastor and his family will be
able to smoothly transition to our church. This would include the needs of his
wife and children in making new friends. Also involved would be physical
needs such as housing, schooling, etc., that must be settled upon when moving
to a new area. Pray that they will feel they have always been with us.
Joshua 1:8-9 — Pray that God would protect the new pastor’s heart
as he prepares to leave his current ministry and move to a new ministry. Pray
that the stresses of moving, meeting new people, maintaining relationships,
etc., would not interfere with his need to continually develop his relationship
with God. Pray that God would give him and his family peace knowing they
are in God’s will.
Romans 10:15, Matthew 28:19-20 — Pray that our pastor will be
committed to personal evangelism and the equipping of our congregation to
seek the lost.
