It was tough picking just 9, but prayed about that too! I am praying for neighbors, family, a former boss, and a contractor in our business. Glad for the reminder that even brief prayer for others can keep them at the forefront of our minds for even more prayer for them throughout the day. With today's circumstances, I don't see my neighbors as frequently as I used to, but after renewing my prayers for a particular neighbor, I ran into him at the hardware store! God provided the opportunity for us to reconnect!

It has been really good for my soul, heart and mind. I didn't expect it to be so impactful. It has softened my heart, caused me to write letters (which I hate to do) and opened my ears to conversations about God around me.

It has been a great experience even bearing fruit. I had contact with two of them on my list that I haven't talked to in years. I didn't initiate either one. I also added the name unknown to the list and it's been fun looking for that person. Thank you Christ Community.

I'm REALLY liking the e90! It's holding me accountable to do what I need to do. Most of my 9 are neighbors and it is motivating me to reach out more to them - do dinner, planning a Ladies Night, etc. God has been reminding me that the gospel is HIS good news. I am an ambassador to tell others this wonderful news - and there's no hard feelings if they choose to do nothing with it and everything for them to gain if they do indeed do something with it.

It has been a humbling experience to pray for salvation for others on a consistent basis. I have prayed for certain people to come to accept Jesus from time to time before. But not as part of a sustained and intentional prayer schedule. It has heightened my awareness of our mission as Christians to share who Jesus is with others.

This season of intentional prayer has been so encouraging! 2 of the people on my list who have lived in KC for a while but haven't connected with a community and had been wondering in their faith for a while have started attending Christ community with my husband and me regularly. I am in a women's study with one of them. She sent me a text a few days ago saying that she feels like God is working through this church and study and that she is feeling encouraged and hopeful. Through my personal time in the study, I have been taken back again by the open nature of the gospel, the invitation to all to join in partnership with God, and the significance of Christ taking on all traits of humanity as a way to truly know and experience life alongside us.
