Bold, Expectant Prayer for the Mighty Movement of the Father in the Valley

 
Note: This space will be dedicated to specific events related to worship, evangelism, renewal, and church planting within the Valley.
 
"The sincere and warm hearted prayer of a man (or woman) in right standing with God is very powerful."
(James 5:16b) JKS paraphrase

 
  • God is looking for men and women who will stand in the gap before Him for the spiritually needy within our land!  The Word of the Lord came to the prophet Ezekiel and the Lord said, "I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none."  Will you be that man and that woman?

  • Pray for Amani and Tiawana Bullock, who began their ministry here in the Grand Valley on September 4, 2008.  You need to meet this great couple and their very special daughters, Dariah and Tiana.  Amani and his family moved to the Grand Valley to begin an African-American Baptist Church.  Amani is very gifted and will impact the growing Multi-cultural community in Grand Junction for our Lord and His Kingdom.  Pray for them to build relationships within their culture here in Grand Junction.  Pray for the development of outreach events and building the Father's strategy for penetrating lostness within their culture.  Pray for Familyroom Fellowship and the 25 new converts bapitzed in the first 7 months of 2010. Pray for the discipleship of these new believers.  Pray for the Wednesday evening Bible teaching of these new Christians.  We praise the Father for this great family with a passion for our Lord!  Ask our Awesome God to continue His work in the hearts of these new believers and to cause their development into leaders and fully maturing followers in His new church!  Ask Him to continue to draw spiritual needy folks to His church plant!

    > A God called Chinese family to move to Grand Junction and begin working in one of the local Chinese restaurants to intentionally build relationships for God's glory, begin a Bible study and eventually a Chinese Baptist Church. "God, You love Your Chinese creation all over the world, and You are aware of those living in Grand Junction and Montrose without knowledge of your love.  Please send the Chinese family of Your choosing to begin this work and glorify Your name among this population." 
    > A God called Anglo family move to Grand Junction to begin a new work in the sub divisions surrounding Colonial Heights where over 2600 residents need a Bible believing, teaching and ministering church in their midst.  " Father, You know the spiritual needs of these 2600 residents of North Grand Junction.  Please call the right church planter family to Grand Junction to meet lead Grand Valley Baptists to meet these needs!"
