Dinner Prayers: Every Detail

Days to the dinner: 5
Today's RSVP count:
245

When Isaiah first learned to pray before meals he made it his practice to bless each food item individually. "Thank you Jesus for the carrots and the pizza and the milk and the chips"...etc. His grammy interrupted once to remind him about the salad and he informed her he was NOT thankful for that particular item.

Unlike Isaiah, we are thankful for EVERY person, EVERY electronic device, EVERY piece of printed material and EVERY plate of food that will be part of our evening. Will you take the next two days to pray like a three-year-old? Thank God specifically and ask his blessing over each physical detail of our event. So many small things must come together for us to tell our story well. Think about the impact that just one defective cable or printing error or speaker illness could have...then ask for God's protection over all of it! Here is a list you can start with:

Table Hosts:
Greg and Kathy Strand, Rob and Jamie Knauss, Susan and Wayne Aoki, Shola Giwa, Sarah Lee, Sharonne Hapuarachy, Joan and Andrew Kong, Jim and Carol Tyberg, Justin and Ali Lowe, Heather Fong and Jessica Low, Rich and Ellen Hume, Dr. Nancy Briggs, Viann and Courtney Duncan, Arthur Goh and Eddie Ko, Jenny Hall, Darrin and Renae Kishimoto, Mike and Becky Still, Anne and Gary Wu, Rob and Suzanne Filback
Pray for their final follow-up efforts and confirmations from each of their guests!

Hospitality Volunteers:
15-20 people who will wave flags in front our parking lot, guide people to the Galen Center, greet people as they enter and staff the registration table. We're still recruiting the last of these!

Media:
Adventures Ahead slideshow, "Making of REEL Joy" video

Electronics:
Laptop, LCD projector, keyboard, speaker system, microphones, screens
