Lift Off! Summer Missions - Day 01
For 6 weeks in the summer, FCBCLA is hosting a day-long program for young children to tutor, teach, and participate in various activities. A number of college students are serving this ministry by teaching or caring for the young kids. While not being too far away, this is a great opportunity to minister, show love, and engage in Bible stories with community children. Here are their prayer requests:
Nelson Kuan
For me, you can pray that I'll be a good witness to the parents, especially when they come pick up their kids and interact with the staff. You can also pray that on the night of the open house, which is the last day of the program, we would show Christ's love to the parents as we have different people from church interact with the parents. And lastly, I think you can also pray that we would not worry and be so focused on numbers, and rather on being impactful to the children and family members.
Pray for patience and being able to nurture relationships with the kids.

Please pray for good health, I had a huge headache today (Thursday) and I couldn't really interact and meet the kids at the same level, also wisdom and patience - there are some difficult kids with various things that make them hard to interact. Also, I'm still trying to plan but if you could pray that what I do would somehow reach the kids on more than just a simple craft level.

A prayer request for SEP would be for the kids to be more cooperative throughout the program. Sometimes it's really hard for them to follow directions, when one of the kids is messing around, all the other kids follow. On that note, also for patience and to remember that we can have a huge impact on these kids as they're growing up. And to remember our goal of building relationships with both the children and their parents.

Please pray for rest & energy (because I’m morning shift and I’m definitely not a morning person; had to take a nap everyday this week and i never take naps :/ I haven’t been this tired since high school) For creativity to help teach the kids because I’m running out of ideas 😬 . Wisdom from the Lord to help deliver the content of my curriculum effectively (wouldn’t speak too fast, they would understand). Soft hearts from both the kids and parents so that hopefully this exposure would encourage them to come on Sundays.
Charlotte Kong
Please pray that I would have he right words to say to a child when there is conflict.

Energy!!! Because even though we spend only four hours with the kids they drain our energy pretty quickly.Jung Yue
I think the biggest prayer request is for the shepherds and teachers just to have patience. We spend like 5 hours with them 5 days a week so this really tests your patience and it’s hard to not get frustrated.
