  11. Let's BLESS Malta & Gozo

  12. is for LABOR • is for BODY is for EMOTIONS is for SOCIAL is for SPIRITUAL www.hopeministries.org

  13. B is for Body Rejoice! For growing numbers of Maltese believers, and a few in Gozo. • Pray! That God strengthens them with his might & power (Col 1:11) • and that they will resist the devil (James 4:7)

  14. L is for Labor • We ask for favor with God and man for the believers (Luke 2:52) May they grow in wisdom and natural abilities to advance in their work, and may their walk match their talk, for His glory (Eph 5:1-2)

  15. E is for Emotions We pray for emotional strength and understanding through regular study of the Bible (Psalm 19) • We want to see small group Bible studies in all 68 Localities of Malta, especially in Gozo, where there are very few opportunities.

  16. S is for Social We lift up Christian youth and adults, that they would guard their relationships, especially those with the opposite sex, and not follow the ways of the world. • We ask for growing Christian families whose integrity will be a witness (Matt 3:13-16)

  17. S is for Spiritual • Father, we ask that you draw Maltese and Gozitans to you for salvation (Romans 10:1-2) and protection (John 17:15). May believers be faithful to grow (Acts 2:42) and their numbers increase (Acts 6:7)

  18. S is for Spiritual • Finally we petition that Maltese and Gozitans be sent out into the world around them, particularly the North Africa / Middle East region.

  19. BLESS • Thank-you Lord for this opportunity to BLESS Malta and Gozo. • Make us more aware of our own daily opportunities to make a difference for Your kingdom and glory. • Amen!
