Praying for Godspell

Today I have a little prayer request for you.
Members of my church know that tonight our youth ministry is putting on a production of the musical Godspell. They've worked hard and prayed hard under the direction of Cathy Mays, and their goal for the show is to reach people with the gospel. The show, which is based on the Book of Matthew, is a powerful depiction of Christ's love and atoning death and resurrection. And many unbelievers will be present.

Unfortunately, sickness has struck and appears to be running through the cast. Yesterday six of the leads were out with fevers. Would you please join me in praying for the full recovery of these students and, where that isn't possible, for grace on the understudies who will fill their roles?

Last Saturday, Shannon and I had the cast over to our house and we were so encouraged by the joy, godliness and passion that these young men and women have. Our church is so grateful to have teenagers like this with hearts for the Lord. We trust God is going to use this small trial for their good.

Even though many of you don't know them, your prayers would be greatly appreciated. And if you live in the area, please come see the show. They're putting it on twice this weekend and twice next weekend. You can find information on the performances at our church website.
