‘ I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and
as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their
enemies, and through your offspring[a] all nations on earth will be blessed, because you
have obeyed me.” ‘  Genesis 22:17-18
________________________________________________________________________________


There’s a lot of growth potential in one little seed.  It seems so small but under the right
conditions this one seed can grow into a plant that will yield 800-1600 seeds!  Spiritual
multiplication is the same.  Can you imagine the power of multiplication through each of us
and its affects through our presence here today? You’ve got a lifetime ahead of you – how
will you steward that seed that God has given you?  Watch here…
________________________________________________________________________________

Thank-you so much for praying with us for our involvement promoting TheLife at Breakforth last
weekend!  The Lord really touched people through the presentations and we were swamped with
people wanting to participate themselves and promote this in their churches!  Please pray that the
Lord would protect these newly sprouted seeds and grow them to fullness for His glory!

TMC Online Requests: Teen & Youth 

While I was eating lunch a person came up behind me and slapped my head. The other person started laughing at me as if it was funny, I didn’t like that so I told my culinary teacher that I’m punching him in the chest hard tomorrow morning

I have no one to talk to.  I try to talk to my parents but they said that the reason I’m cutting is all in my head. I can’t stop.

 

TUESDAY

TMC Online Requests: Health and Safety

For a year now, I haven’t been able to get my sleep pattern back to normal which i am depressed about.  What started it was a noise I heard outside, and I don’t know what it is.  I also have other paranoias that have bothered me since then.

There is a disease process going on in my body that makes me fearful of the treatment ahead.  Symptoms are confusing:  yoyo blood pressure, heart racing, a nodule in my lung and a swollen lymph gland on my neck.  My last surgery was so painful…I don’t think I can go through it again.  Please pray that the nodule is close to the outside surface of the lung and that a biopsy will be minimally invasive rather than having to have my rib cage cracked open again.(from one of our mentors)

 

WEDNESDAY

Ministry Wisdom & Discernment

Today, someone will type into Google, “what happens if you commit suicide”.  They will end up on our website in a state of despair.  There is a crisis mentor that will connect with them, give them hope and connect them to a regional crisis center.  The mentor will continue to encourage them along the journey. Pray for our crisis mentors as they walk alongside of these people.

TMC Online Requests:  Family and Finances

I was given a termination notice from my job last Thursday after 4 years. I bought a new home which is closing in 2 weeks and I can’t help but feel nervous about it although I know that God will work it all out. Please pray that He will provide another income for me before the closing date so that the bank will grant us a mortgage. (from one of our mentors)

Please pray for my son who tried to kill himself last Friday. He is safe now in a hospital but he is very fearful and scared. He needs direction and to want to go to rehab. Please say a prayer for him. His name is Chad. Thank you so much

TMC Online Requests: Marriage and Relationships

I need for me to be more respectful and considerate to my husband. To be patient and positive that things will get better

Please pray for our marriage to be restored. My husband (Kelvin) is in a relationship with two women and comes home all times of the night. In the last few months he has become very mean and angry. He says he loves me; however his actions say something else. We need God’s divine grace and blessings through prayer.

 

FRIDAY

Ministry Focus

As this month we are immersed in the topic of love, please pray that the people who read and comment on our articles would find God and true love.

TMC Online Requests: Spiritual Growth

I do not belong to a church but i am a strong believer. I have been through a lot in my marriage and i am still going through a lot.  I don’t want a hardened heart. I want to be able to move to the next level in my life even if it means apart from my husband. I do love him, but going our separate ways is for the best, i am ready for whatever God has planned.

 Brothers and sisters help me pray so i can gain spiritual strength and to overcome the problems i am facing right now I want to be closer to God. Thank you

After 12 years of marriage, my husband says “It’s over”. We have 11yr and 8 yr old sons and a 4 yr old daughter. He says he loves me and will always, but thinks I will lead him to “bankruptcy”.  I am a stay at home mom, volunteer at the kids school, and he doesn’t value my worth for this.. We only owe on our home, and cars are paid off, and have no debt. He recently suffered a cut in pay and is being really mean. PLEASE Pray for us to stay together.

My husband left me last January after 14 yrs of marriage. I was devastated and hurt. After a year, I still feel like I don’t know if I can love or trust anyone again. It is hard for me.

sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”  Matthew 18:21
________________________________________________________________________________

In times of brokenness it’s hard to see beyond ourselves.  Everything else takes a backseat,
even family.  We make selfish decisions, we take important things for granted.

Addiction narrows your world down until the only thing you can think about is the drug.  For one
man, it took almost losing his family to realize what he had.

Whether or not you’ve ever been homeless or struggled with addiction, we’ve all done things
we’re not proud of. It can be a challenge to love certain family members. How can you learn to appreciate your family?  Watch here…

I do not know what to do anymore. I come closer to Jesus for a while, praying and reading the Bible. But when the real tests come, I feel torn apart. i FORGET who I belong to; I forget who I should trust. Like now, I just got married in April this year, I am so close to get divorced, I work and work and there is never enough money. Lord, please help me hear what I need, to do the right thing.

Im having a hard time forgiving my Grandfather for what he did to me but he died before I got to ask him why. He sexually abused me for YEARS and I just let it happen never told anyone until he died so I still kinda feel like its my fault because if I told someone sooner it would have stopped.

TMC Online Requests: Health and Safety

Jesus held me through out the entire thyroid biopsy procedure! I really felt him. He didn’t let it burn me at all from the 4 lidocaine injections. The dr kept saying that it would burn a little, but it just felt as if it was a little trickling of water. i want to hug and kiss Jesus Christ!

We took Lincoln, my son to the Dr., thinking he may have a cataract. He’s a joyful, active 14 month old.  We were shocked to learn that he has retinoblastoma, an eye cancer. After testing, they saw that the tumor was large and he would never see again from his left eye. Last week he had surgery to remove that eye. Pray for a miracle, that cancer won’t have spread anywhere else in his tiny body.

One of my responsibilities is to take care of employee’s rights. Before we terminate them, I want them to have a chance to be heard and to explain their actions. One of the managers doesn’t like this; he wants it done the same day – no conference with the employees. He was gossiping about me, lying that I am making money from some of our vendors. Please pray that the Lord will protect me from these evil schemes.

I’m moving forward with the plan to teach English overseas, but I’m not convinced that it’s the right thing for me… I’m still praying for wisdom to know what’s best for me (and what’s best for me is simply the choice that would make me the happiest in the long run)

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”  Psalm 34:18
________________________________________________________________________________
“It’s my party and I can cry if I want to.”
This was my attitude when my husband,
a Marine pilot, was deployed over the holidays.
His four deployments have separated us over four Thanksgivings, four Christmases, and of course,
four Valentine’s Days. It was hard, especially
the first few times. Then I discovered the
secret of not only coping, but of celebrating
with a light heart.

I don’t make good decisions. I try to remember to ask God to put me in His hands every day. I need the strength to stay away from crack-cocaine. I’m 54 and I’ve been one kind of addict or another since I was 12 yrs. old.

Tomorrow I’m having a biopsy done on a under my thyroid.  It is the size of a pencil eraser. Statistics i have read say that 90% of these have been benign. I need prayer that mine is benign,too.

TMC Online Requests:  Family and Finances

I’m seeking God’s intervention in my Family, seeking His peace, above all to lift the claws of poverty from us at this moment, that we may enjoy this life HE has given us, and not deliver our Baby who’s on his way, into this poverty and staggering needs.

Please continue to pray for my son.  He is facing an audit today due to an employee filing a claim for not enough hours.  My son had increased his pay and had given him one of the older company cars to drive.  My son said, last night, that he had tried to bless this person and in return, received what could be costly and create problems for him.

 

THURSDAY

Over the holidays many lonely people come to our websites and visit the chat rooms. Please pray that God will give many opportunities for spiritual conversations this week, and that our volunteers and staff would respond only as the Holy Spirit leads.

TMC Online Requests: Marriage and Relationships

Please pray for marriage restoration for my husband John and I after his indiscretion, and my cold and unemotional attitude. Also pray for our children, for peace and security. And please pray for all of us to ignore Satan and listen to God and yield to God.

Please pray for my marriage, my husband has once again broken trust with lies and non-physical affairs.  I’m at a crossroads of what I should do. I love him, but he’s broken the trust so many … I just need guidance and strength to make the right choices for myself and my kids.

Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let not your hands be idle, for you do not know

It’s hard to see your own story up close.
Often the choices we make seem small, unimportant. But when you make the
choice to share your faith there’s no
telling how far the ripples of that
decision can spread. Kim shared her
faith once, with her roommate in college.
God had much bigger plans.

TMC Online Requests: Marriage and Relationships

My husband has a porn problem and he doesn’t want to talk about it.  It just hurts me so badly to be a woman who begs her husband for sex, and gets shot down 98% of the time.

I found pictures of her and my fiance together and a love letter he wrote her and cards that she has sent him. I have also found checks that he has written to her last year. She is always calling and he says it’s nothing.  I am so hurt he has never expressed his feelings for me.  he tells me is that he loves me because I take good care of him and do things for him. He has given me an engagment ring but I think that’s because he cant have the one he wants.

 

FRIDAY

Ministry Volunteers

The number of emails coming into our sites continues to grow! (over 7500 last month!) With growth like this we need mentors who are willing to becoming Community Leaders to effectively manage the email distribution and quality control of responses. Please pray that many will respond to this need.

TMC Online Requests: Spiritual Growth

I have this problem that i will argue with people to make them believe in What i believe, & people either stop talking to me, or walk away & hold grudge.  I want to love all without arguing but i dont want to let the LORD down, & i dont like being lonely I want friends, but its like no one likes me. so what should i do?

Please pray some special prayers today.  I need God’s peace, and it seems that the more I pursue positive thoughts, the more the enemy comes and steals them away.

TMC Online Requests: Teen & Youth 

the wreck i had the other day was scary but God had to have been in the car with me… there was almost no damage to the car and no damage to me. I was VERY shook up but i went ahead to work. so glad to have another person calling my name in prayer. thank you so very much!

I don’t have an open relationship with my mom. Any time that I’ve ever tried to get help for some personal things, it backfires.

Ministry Cooperation

Praise God for the partners we have that are using The Mentor Center to reach people in their churches, schools and communities!  Please pray that God would bring forward more partnerships to work with, to reach out to even more hurting people.

Thank-you for praying for me. Surgery went quickly and as planned this morning with no surprises.  I am feeling well and am resting at home. I now wait (again) for pathology results. I will let you know what next “in about a week”.  God has given me an incredible sense of peace just as He promised. I know He is in control. (praise from a mentor)

I lift up my mom with all her ailments.  Lord, please continue to soothe her every ache and pain as she is all I have right now.

I need prayer for my children and their spouses. I need prayer that they will learn to love each other as a christian brother & sisters and that God will live in their lives.

My husband walked out on my children and I and took the stepdaughters I have raised for years. I can’t handle the pain.


THURSDAY 

Ministry Support

Please pray for financial and prayer supporters for our staff.  Without them, we’re unable to put our complete focus onto ministry, and our effectiveness is reduced.

TMC Online Requests: Marriage and Relationships

I’m in my last year of college and I just lost her boyfriend, who I was crazy about, because I stopped having sex with him.   Now I’m facing a situation where my prof. wants me to sleep with him to get my grade.  If I don’t, he’ll fail me.  A number of other students have tried to report this man and have suffered big time.

My husband and I just divorced and I found out that he got my best friend pregnant. He also has had to move back into our house because he has no one out here to help him. He works with me and my family and has always been close us for 13 years. We have a 2 year old and I helped raise his daughter for 6 years. I don’t know what to do because he says that he would like to try our relationship again but not right now.

 

FRIDAY

Ministry Staff – Tech Support

Pray that we would see two technical people with excellent skill levels in coding join our team, and that our main technical support man for TMC would receive Canadian residency without having to leave the country by Dec. 7th.

TMC Online Requests: Spiritual Growth

I really don’t want to go back to being what I hated, I just want to have that passion for God .. I want to WANT to be filled with the Holy Spirit and be everything that the Lord wants me to be .. So so so many times He has come through for me, and here I am distancing myself from Him :(

I am pleading for mercy from God of Heaven, I want to learn to praise him more every day, his favour and mercy locate my career, and provide through my side business. Please pray with me that I remain in his will, path and lead the life he has for me.
