Pray for the team who is meeting and asking God to show us what is next for the THRIVE women's ministry. In the past we have offered seminars for international women and for ISI women. We need God's direction about what He desires from us during this season. We need creativity and insight so that our efforts will be need-driven rather than program-driven.

Pray for the launch of our local Home Group here in Beaumont, TX. May the Lord lead us as we plan & prepare. Pray for the Lord work in students lives & reveal the truth about Jesus through home group this semester!

Praise God for bringing great new volunteers to ISI, KC. Pray for his blessing and provision over them as they are trained and continue praying for more volunteers with passion and commitment. Praise God for how our director Carol has poured into this ministry and continues to do so faithfully. Ask God to lead someone to her who she can disciple and prepare to pass on this role in the next few years—and for provision and rest in the waiting. Praise God for Journey to Judea and all the ISI Christmas parties. Pray for hearts to continue to be stirred in the following months and years and for opportunities in follow up conversations. May volunteers and staff never cease to honor Christ the Lord as holy—and always be prepared to give a defense for the hope in us with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15).
