The program has been wrapped up, the interns are heading home and back to college, and Michael is gearing up for the fall semester. Please pray this week for the following:
- new full-time staff arriving August 13. They will be training and planning and getting to know one another. This time will be crucial. Please pray diligently and boldly for God to be present and visible to them during this time.
- one of our summer interns, Nathan, is staying on for the fall semester as a full-time volunteer. He really feels that this is where God wants him to be, and he's eager to see how God plans to use him!
- our summer interns (Robbie, Justin, David, Isaac, Amanda, Olivia, Lauren, Vanessa, Kathleen, Nikki) who are returing to college this fall.
- Russell, a summer intern for two years running, who is beginning his new career this week!
- Luke, our summer director, who is preparing to tour this fall. (http://www.myspace.com/poorrichfolk)
- Amanda, one of our summer interns, and her family. On the way back from the summer's-end girls' retreat, Amanda received word that her 14-year old sister was killed in a car accident. The funeral was today, burial is tomorrow. Amanda and her sister were very close, and Amanda is understandably devastated.
- Pray also for the Fortress adults who will continue to love and minister to Amanda during this time, that God gives us the words to say and that we recognize what's needed of us. We love her so much. SO much.
- Pray for Michael, our Executive Director. So much transition, so many details, way too much on his plate. Pray for clarity, for honesty, for organization, and for dependance on God to get through it all.
