New Day in Christ Prayer Circle: Prayer Requests for today...

New Day in Christ Ministries, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) outreach ministry of First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in Houston, Texas. Since 2000, we have been sharing the good news of God's radically transforming love by mailing out free daily devotional calendar to anyone who writes, calls, emails or faxes us complete mailing information. Current distribution now averages over 500 devotionals per week, with our total distribution for 2006 was just under 24,000. Approximately 65% of the calendars we send go to individuals in prison, and most of the rest are sent to friends and family members of prisoners, in order to help prisoners stay connected with their outside support.

Want to help? You can support this ministry in many ways:

Visit New Day in Christ's new website newdayinchrist.org!

Volunteer schedule: Volunteers are welcome every Tuesday and Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. until noon to help with mailings.

Support programs in your community that help prisoners reintegrate after they have paid their debts to society!

Monetary donations are appreciated and will help us maintain our ministry and reach out to children of inmates, Spanish speaking populations and others!

Pray with us and for us!

Not so random acts of kindness: If you have received a devotional, and did not request it, someone you know has requested that we send it to you. We did not just pick your name out of a phone book, we are not soliciting donations or memberships. As part of our ministry, we extend an invitation to each recipient to share a devotional with a loved one or friend. We hope you will accept this free gift as our way of sharing God's love, and we invite you as well, if you feel led to do so, to share the gift with someone you feel would be touched by its message. Please be assured that we only keep statistical data necessary to our ministry. We absolutely do not sell names and addresses to anyone. If you wish to know who requested this gift be sent to you, you may call us at 713-522-7821, provide us with your name and the postmark date on your package, and we will be happy to assist you.

Prayer Requests for today...

Please join in prayer

Dear God, we continue to lift up our neighbors in need as they endure unimaginable hardship. Please let them know your presence with them through this, and let them feel hope for the future. Guide and direct our efforts to be your hands in the community, so that through our efforts, you will be known.

We pray for the safety and peace of mind of those incarcerated in the storm damaged states, that they may be safe and warm, that their worries and fears are calmed, and they feel peace. And we lift up the following individuals by name, Charlotte Jones in Comanche Texas, and her family, for Lolita, Kirwin and Michael Watson for a strong family bond, Raphael Petty in Pollock, Louisiana, Lisa Laeffert in Las Cruces, New Mexico. By asking for prayer, these people have admitted their own weakness and become part of our community turning to you for help. In their weakness, strengthen them and make them whole. Let them see the light of your new better day. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
