Week of January 22 - Community Prayer

This is the weekly post in which we'll put up some prayer requests and also hear about how God has answered specific prayer. (Do you ever wonder how many things you pray for and then never look for or listen to the answer?) So, these posts will never go away, so it'll be great to look back on them and see how God answers prayer!

Please, by clicking on "Comments" at the bottom of this post, put your own prayer requests/God responses up on the blog so we can pray as a community together. The requests below are just off the top of my head at 11:30 on a Saturday night, so please, really do add your requests.

TILT Community as a whole:
o Continually seeking God's vision for the community;
o Opportunities to engage the community around us with the Good News of God's Kingdom;
o Finding ways people can become involved in the worship gatherings and leading the community in other areas;
o Seeking the true, scriptural meaning of "God's Call" as we go through the series Reconstructing the Call.

Specific People:
o Barbara Erochina is going to Scotland to do some ministry at the University of Edinburgh - pray for help in raising support and being able to impact people in Scotland;
o Pregnant moms-to-be at TILT (I didn't ask for permission yet, so no names, but if you go to TILT, you know who these people are hopefully!);

The City:
o An Out of the Cold shelter was approved for opening in the Beaches (I mean, The Beach) area - awesome! Pray for volunteers, community support;

The World:
o Isn't this overwhelming sometimes?
o Iraq / U.S. situation;
o AIDS in Africa;
