First Baptist Church of Ojai, California

And Then There Were Four

We have been praying specifically since April 15th for God's provision of six key emerging leaders for our church family.  The first of these prayers was answered several weeks ago when God provided a children's director.  Now, God has answered the second of these by providing Janine Conahey to be our finanical secretary.  Janine has skill in data entry, a passion for serving, and the necessary maturity for thise important position.  Praise God for his provision!

We continue to pray for the remaining four emerging leaders:

1. Operation Blessing Coordinator

2. Homeless Shelter Coordinator

3. Worship Leader

4. Youth Ministry Director

Catalyst Prayer

This coming Sunday night, June 24th at 6 PM we will be having a Catalyst Prayer Gathering.  Catalyst Prayer is simply an interactive prayer meeting.  There is the opportunity for several different types of prayer.  There are prayer stations to which individuals or groups can move and pray and then move to another.  There is also the opportunity to pray individually with a directed prayer sheet.  The point is to fill the sanctuary with our prayers.  There will be a special emphasis given to the launching of our new children's ministry "Victory Lane" on Sunday, July 1st.  Come pray with us!

Prayer Room

Beginning, Sunday, June 10th the room with couches behind the Sanctuary will be open from 9:00 AM until 11:00 AM for intercessory prayer.  You may come and go at any point during this time.  The room will have up-to-date prayer lists including prayer for the mission and vision of First Baptist.  I will be in the prayer room from 9:00-9:30 prior to the Discovery Class.  I would love to pray for any personal concerns that you might have during this time.  The prayer room will make it possible to mobilize a maximum number of our church family for the purpose of intercessory prayer.

Due to inconsistent schedules, the prayer gathering on Wednesdays at 3:30 PM has been put on hold for the summer.
