Public Prayer: Lord, just like Samuel did in 1 Samuel 3, we long to hear your voice. May we ask with our whole heart: “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening." Jesus, is there any word you have for ISI staff or volunteers? Any verses or images for them—or the ministry as a whole? For the prayer team? Please reveal those to us so we may share them with those who are in need of your Word. Help us to take time to worship you as your Spirit calls us. May we lead in our praise on the battlefield just like the Israelites did when they sent their singers to the front of the lines in 2 Chronicles 20. You are the Lord our banner, Yahweh Nissi.

We love you, Lord, our strength! You, Lord, are our rock, our fortress and our deliverer; You are the One we take refuge in, our shield and our salvation. We are calling to you, Lord, who is worthy of praise, and we will receive the help we need in all our needs and struggles. Lord, you hear us at ISI, how much we need Your help, Your wisdom; we need new staff and new volunteers, new support - all these things that sometimes seem impossible or too much to handle, but You, Lord, are the One who will reach down from on high and rescue us, providing everything we need! You will keep our lamps burning, no matter how old and weak or confused we are, and You will be our deliverer, accomplishing Your purpose in us and through us. For You Lord, Your way is perfect and Your Word is flawless and You shield ALL those who take refuge in YOU! We rest in You! (taken & paraphrased from Ps. 18) And YOU will be glorified! For from You, through You and for You are all things!! To You be the honor and glory forever!! Amen!

Praise that A from France and Gary Classen are connected now as A. will be arriving as a transfer student to Santa Clara U., in CA.

Use his strong, charming personality to influence others also to study.

Pray for our Volunteer Appreciation & Training Event next Sat., Aug. 19th that God would use it to really light a fire in their hearts for this work, that they would see the need and be willing to make ministering in this capacity a top priority in their lives. Pray also that some would step up to take responsibility for certain areas as we make the transition of "greying staff". Lord, help us all to think about ministry in different ways that meet current needs with the people we have as well as to attract new people!
