Prayer Warriors for Reece's Rainbow

The T

To lift the daily needs of each waiting child up in prayer

To lift the ministry of Reece’s Rainbow up in prayer

To lift the families whom God is preparing for each waiting child up in prayer

The Process:

If you and your family are interested in being a designated prayer warrior for one of our waiting children, please contact Laurie Rhoades or CLICK HERE. THERE IS NO COST TO PARTICIPATE. Each family will be randomly assigned one child with their picture and information. Older and adult children in the family are also welcome to participate and have their own angel to “pray home”. You can designate whether you would like to pray for a child with Down syndrome specifically, or one of our Other Angels. You will also receive a Prayer Warrior MAGNET to keep on your fridge and remind you every day to pray for your chosen child.

We ask for a full commitment at least until your child finds a committed family!! You are asked to lift that child up in prayer DAILY: that God will provide for their daily needs, that God will prepare a family for that child, and for the work of Reece’s Rainbow as a whole.

You can follow the progress of your child by watching the website for new matches, and following along with new family FSP profiles and blogs. Any changes in your child’s status will be relayed to you promptly! Updates about which children have ho mes and any pressing prayer needs will be available on the Prayer Warrior Blog. Warriors would also be able to request information on another child to pray for them. Weekly inspirational e-mails will also encourage Prayer Warriors to get the word out about RR and the Prayer Warrior ministry to their communities and churches.

You can do this:

Book Review: Twelve Unlikely HEROES

A Study of 12 True Heroes found in the Bible. As the author states, in this present world it doesn't take much to be called a "hero". As he observes; qualifications are kind of low in our culture, at the moment. But most people KNOW when they encounter a real hero; not just someone who is famous for making a movie or playing a sport. This study includes more information on the history of the people in the Bible, the culture that lived in; times they failed but still were used as heroes anyway and even dangers they faced that we may not have realized before. People included in this study are:

Enoch
Joseph
Miriam
Gideon and Samson
Jonathan
Jonah
Esther
John the Baptist
James The brother of our Lord
Mark and Onesimus

I liked the book because it did give more information of what it was really like to live in the "Bible Times" both as a man and as a woman. There was a lot of fill in information not normally seen in books of this kind. When I said it was a Study, that is exactly what it was. It was also for me was at times, almost too much information; and it became a bit dry for my taste. Some of my favorite parts were in the introduction when he talked about the marks of a True Hero, the explanation of Israel demanding a King, thus changing from being a "theocracy to a "monarchy". Chapter 5 which focused on Jonathan I gleaned so much new insight; which means I really liked and enjoyed that part a lot!!

I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255

OUCH! Not there yet!

What feels like an offense is really a door to your destiny. Consider Joseph, he suffered attempted murder, betrayal, slavery, imprisonment and abandonment, yet in all things he trusted God without reacting to the injustice. The offense in the hands of our redeeming God reveals where we are still controlled by our flesh. If you want to reach your destiny, you must become Christlike in your crisis. In a word, you must become unoffendable.
