Dads Prayer 

Gentlemen:

Another important week to be faithful in prayer to our Father for FCS and its part in what He is doing in the Kingdom of God on Earth:

Pray for the upcoming Mission Trip, they are leaving on Saturday for China, Tammi, Paula, Cindy and Dr. Miller are as excited as the seniors as they look forward to what God will do on the other side of the earth.
Think about the kingdom of God being advanced and seeds of the Gospel being sown through a small band of crazy Americans riding bikes. Little is indeed much in God's eyes.

Pray for Dan Brown who also leaves on Saturday for mission trip to Ghana, another excited child of God! Pray our hearts may be spurred to be used for the Kingdom!

Pray for School Board as they continue to seek the Lords will concerning the purchase of land for future school buildings and fields.

Pray for the remainder of school as they go into spiritual emphasis week, that those who have never received salvation may respond to the Holy Spirit, and those that have may be renewed in their devotion and commitment.

More to follow on specifics for prayer on Mission Trip.

PRAY ON!

If there are any who do not have salvation that they may call on the Lord and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord!

May the Kingdom of God be expanded as a result of the trip!

Gentlemen:

Do not grow weary...does it do any good for you and me to
offer a prayer for a specific student , or teacher, or parent??? Ask
the teachers ...they will answer in the affirmative. A simple way to
involve your family and to remember, is to simply ask our Father at
your meal time prayer " ... and please bless Fayetteville Christian School!"

This week:

Pray for Pastor Benjie Speers at the Church of Open Door for God to
give Him physical healing and health. We have had many families at our
School that attend that Church.
Some of you "old timers" will remember that our junior high used to be
at the Church back in 88-89.

Pray for Jeremy Gaines family, Mom and Dad and sister...that we as
school family will remember to continue to be a blessing to them.

Pray for the students who have returned from " Acquire the Fire" who
are now following through with serving God. They were challenged to
make an impact for the kingdom here at FCS and in community. Some are
going out using the media to share the gospel.

Pray for a great day of community spirit and Christian fellowship and
the Lord's Blessing for this Saturday and Fall Festival.

PRAY ON!

 Call to Battle! All Fathers of FCS-Attack!

As the father of two children who have graduated from FCS, deep in my heart I realize that like John “ I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”  That is still my prayer and cry to God. I believe in some aspect it is the reason most of you are sending your children to FCS.  Dads, we are in a battle for the hearts and minds of our children. It is a spiritual battle.  Ephesians 6:12 says, “We are not struggling against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the powers of this dark work and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  We need to fight fire with fire!  II Cor 10:4, “The weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world.  On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. One of these weapons is prayer!

 I am tired of being a wimp and not confronting the giants that are destroying the souls of our children. I read in I Samuel that when David was preparing to meet Goliath he approached the great giant and did not put on Saul’s armor but declared, “You come to me with sword, spear and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord Almighty”.  He put his enemy in perspective.  As Goliath moved closer to attack, David quickly ran out to meet him. The ordinary Shepard boy- attacked!

 It is time for us to attack the giant! Please join me and other Dad’s in prayer. It’s easy to remember the time and place-every Friday that your child goes to school-we will pray at FCS from 6:00 am-6:45 am-when school is out of session you can do individual maintenance on your “Battle Rattle”
