February '09 Prayers and Events

This month is taking Letty and this ministry on many adventures. Please pray accordingly.

Trip to Louisiana- Pray for safety as Letty and her roommate Nina drive to LA to support the Univeristy of Louisiana Softball Team. The purpose behind this trip is to empower Nina to continue the ministry that began seven years ago. Letty will help build the bridge between Nina and the team. Nina will work with the team for the month of February doing various team bonding activities and, most importantly, she will be having weekly Bible Studies with the team. Pray for open hearts to receive all that God will do in and through Nina.

Cuban Meal- Pray for safety as Letty's mom comes to visit from New York. Letty gets to visit with her mother twice a year and this is one of those times. Pray for sweet fellowship and great memories while her mom is in CA. The extra blessing will be the Cuban meal that Letty's mom will cook for forty students.

Time with Supporters- Pray for safety as Letty travels to Hilton Head South Carolina as she visits with her supporters there. This family she is going to visit are very special to her. They have four kids that are home-schooled and have been involved in ministry for the last ten years. Pleasle pray for safe travels and a blessed time together.

Tutoring- Please continue to pray for our after school tutoring program. We are partnering with an Urban Ministries class at Biola University, who is providing tutors as part of their course study. This is a huge answer to prayer. We also have some adults from various communities coming to help with this program. Our goal is to have a one to one student teacher ratio. We also have some needs for this program
  • 20 bean bag chairs for a reading environment
  • more volunteers

Bible Study- Last week we had 5 adults dedicate their lives to the Lord! This study is making a huge difference in the community. 11-13 adults are now attending the Spanish service every Sunday morning at our church. Please continue to pray for the members of the community that attend and the direction of the study.

Valentines Day Event- Our partners at Richfield Community Church are facilitating a Valentines Day Event with the kids on Cypress St. We are going to be making Valentines Day cards for the residents at a local convalescent home. We will then take the kids to deliver the cards to the people.

Fashion Show- One of our high school students from YLFC is putting on the 2nd annual Fashion Show to raise money for Hill of Hope and bring awareness to Cypress St. and the ministry that is taking place. We are in the planning process and things are coming along very nicely! Please pray for the process and that we keep our sanity as the planning continues.
