Dear God, I just wanted to thank you for everything I had for my whole life. You have been very generous and caring to me and my family. Today, I humbly ask in your holy name to guide me and my family in the mission we share together, and that is, to spread your good news to the community of our church. Please help us encourage people there to listen to your word and be more active in involving themselves in knowing you more. Please bless us with a fruitful year - an alive prayer and praise team, dedicated and committed church leaders, highly spiritual lay ministers and the sheeps that are sincerely longing to hear your word. This I ask in you mighty name, through Jesus Christ, our savior, AMEN.
