Sky's the Limit Prayer Focus: LAUP Interns

Praise God that tonight's parent meeting went well! It was a joy to see parents eager to hear more about the program paying close attention and asking questions.

Tomorrow morning Lauren will meet with our summer interns from the Los Angeles Urban Project. These six students from Occidental, UCLA and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo will be the primary teachers for the Sky's the Limit camp. There is so much to do with them in just one day -- everything from starting to plan their classes to a detailed training in the history and goals of Adventures Ahead, teaching and discipline techniques, etc. Please pray for this time.

Please pray for our interns throughout the summer as well! The students wear many different hats, including supervising other volunteers, forming primary relationships with the children they teach, leading field trips, making sure that kids remain safe, and planning and leading lessons. Doing all of these things together in a small space can be a challenge. So pray for their work.

Pray as well for the spiritual formation taking place in the lives of our interns this summer. While working with us, they are also participating in an Intervarsity summer project called LAUP (Los Angeles Urban Project). They spend time in prayer and study, learning about God's heart for the poor and the oppressed. They also live in community and seek to grow in discipleship through their relationships with each other and with their leaders. Like other summer mission trips, this experience is a time of especially concentrated growth and challenge. For many students, LAUP also represents the beginning of a call to longer term service among the urban poor. Let's pray that the students could experience the fullness of all God has for them this summer.

Please also keep the start of classes on Monday in your prayers. On Monday Lauren will also be speaking to the owner of the computer store down the street about using his parking lot for some of the science experiments. This could be the answer to our prayers for more space! So keep this conversation in prayer as well.

Thank you again for your faithful partnership in intercession. This work would not be possible without you!
