Prayer needs:
- Pray that God would raise up godly men at Lakeshore Baptist Church to be deacons and elders. Currently, pastor Don Elbourne is serving without any other pastors or deacons.
- Pray that God would provide Christian counselors to the Lakeshore community. There are many spiritual needs that have gone unmet, simply because there does not exist the manpower necessary to provide biblical counseling on a consistent basis.
- Pray for the God’s sustaining grace in the life of Pastor Don. He is serving his church and community for many, many hours, 7 days a week. After 2 1/2 years he is getting tired — pray that God would provide him with continuous encouragement, wisdom, and energy.
Physical Needs:
- Books/DVDs/CDs/Bible (ESV) on CD for the congregation to enjoy and share.
- Biblically faithful gospel tracts that are useful in an area with a high illiteracy rate (“Who Will Be King?” by Matthias Media is a great one — you can read the contents here).
- Others as listed on the Rebuild Lakeshore Website.
Instead of prayer for Pastor Don that God will give him energy to do his work, why not pitch in and help him? Prayer is lip service. Willing hands are better.
