Saturday Prayer Request: Kenneth Ralph Shelter

Today I would like you all to pray for the Kenneth Ralph Shelter at Douglass Park. There has been a lot of talk about a possible alcohol ban in Douglass Park because of the drinking involved under this shelter, but no matter what happens we seek to love, serve, and pray for those who hang out here. Not everyone here is dangerous, an alcoholic, or up to no good! But, there are those who are struggling with addiction that I need you to pray for.

1. Pray for the people struggling with addiction and the lifestyle associated with addiction. Being someone who struggled with this in my past, I know the struggle so please pray for the gospel of Jesus to release the enslavement of addiction.
2. Pray for the children who have parents, grandparents, and relatives that I have seen here. Pray that they might experience the love of Christ.
3. Pray for the very passionate voices who are debating the alochol ban in Douglass Park. Both sides have expressed hostility in some sense, so please pray for the love of Christ to saturate their lives and their speech as they discuss this issue.
4. Pray for Ali and I as we seek to know the people that hang out here so we can love, serve, and pray for them. We need your prayers to make these connections!

God is good and gracious
