“Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for
the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too,
be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.” James 5:7-8

Gardening takes a lot of patience. You plant a small seed, water it, and nurture it. Even so,
despite all the care that you give it, you have limited control of its growth. The beauty of it all is seen when the intricacy of gardening is viewed in light of the Master Gardener. The Creator who
saw goodness in nature sees the same wonder and awe when He sees us, and He will stop at
nothing to watch us bloom. Watch here…

MONDAY
Ministry Renewal
Pray for the annual Power to Change Staff Conference happening at the end of July. Pray for a renewal and dedication to the ministry and a time of great celebration and community with the other staff.
TMC Online Requests: Teen & Youth
I have a friend who is really difficult to deal with and doesn’t realize how much she uses people. I’m trying to find a nice way to confront her about the situation. Do you have any advice?
I feel suicidal at times due to my family and friends not appreciating me. This frustrates me because I try my best to help others and no one seems to care.
TUESDAY
Ministry Fruit
Please remember the City of Calgary in your prayers this week – pray that thousands will come to know Jesus during the Stampede. Center Street Church has launched a multi-media evangelistic strategy with the felt need of “cravings”. People who engage online will be matched up with mentors who will connect with them to help them take the next step in their spiritual journey.
TMC Online Requests: Health and Safety
I have several medical conditions occurring at the same time (high blood pressure-lumbar stenosis). I’m employed full time and my 6yr old grandson lives with my husband & I. Needless to say, these combined factors, renders me extremely fatigued and in pain the majority of the time. My spouse isn’t sympathetic to this, he can be controlling and verbally abusive.
My neighbour had surgery and is back in the hospital due to abscesses in his abdomen. He is not doing well and is trying to fight infections. He has not eaten since last Friday. His wife is trying to juggle things but the hospital is an hour and half away. Please pray for his health and her strength.
WEDNESDAY
Ministry Mentors
Please pray for the mentors who will be connecting with the contacts from Calgary, that they would have be listening to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit as they respond to site visitors.
TMC Online Requests: Family and Finances
Jasmine has some evil strongholds on her. She has kept my 23 month old son Briar away from me for over a month. I miss my family. I have been saved and I wish for Jasmine to see the truth about me. I see random pictures of him that friends have taken and his spark is gone. She has no idea that she is full of hatred and anger. I need a prayer for employment for myself so I can support the family.
Please lift me and family up in prayer for a church home and also for a financial blessing
THURSDAY
Ministry Growth
Please pray for new staff who are currently raising financial support and building a team of ministry partners. Please pray for guidance and encouragement, and for their funds to come in quickly.
TMC Online Requests: Marriage and Relationships
I am 42 years old and My husband walked out on me and my 2 sons. Said that he was no longer happy and that nothing in life excites him. I know that he is looking for happiness in all the wrong places instead of seeking God. After nearly 17 years of marriage and doing my utmost to be the best wife and mother according to scripture, I feel heartbroken and never saw this coming.
I’m going through a divorce and I just caught my husband with his girlfriend with whom he lives with I’m hurting so bad inside that words can’t explain. Please pray that I get through this painful ordeal
FRIDAY
Ministry Experience
Although it is only July, we are already beginning to plan for September when our Field Ed Bible College Students will once again join us.
