Broken Hearts Ministry

Praise! – ‘Jake’ is in rehab and doing very well. We were able to visit him this weekend and will be able to take him to church this upcoming Sunday.

‘Red’ - who just got back to the streets. Pray that he’d make wise choices, stay out of trouble and violence, and continue to come to The Refuge. Pray that he would desire to turn to God in his heart, not just his head.

‘J’ - that he would apply to culinary school and possible get some part time work with Jeremiah’s dad. That he’d get out of dealing and that he’d find a real relationship with Jesus.

General – for the MANY, many people on the street who claim to know God with their mouths but have not surrendered their lives to him. Pray that they’d come to a saving knowledge of our Lord!

Prayer Ministry – for Thursday and Friday night prayer teams to grow and gain more members, as prayer is central to all we do.

‘Jake’ - he really wants to get into rehab, but the program hasn’t been able to take him in yet. Please pray that he would get into one of the programs he’s waiting on as soon as possible, and that God would sustain him with strength to resist temptation to use.

Jonas - someone the team used to know over a year ago. He’s gotten his life on track and normally does not go to the Hollywood area but was there this week looking for friends. Pray that he would continue walking the straight path and attending church. Pray that he would give up whatever is holding him back from following Christ whole-heartedly and for the desire to do so.

For a male co-leader for the Friday night team.

‘Dirk’ – we met him for the first time last night. He’s been homelesss for 1.5 years and is going to school but not working. Pray that he’d be able to find a job while he’s in school so he can afford a place to stay. He is also wants to know more about God and who He is and is very open to the gospel. Please pray that he would read the bible we gave him and that God would reveal himself to Dirk.

Please pray for the streets in general, specifically against the strongholds (drugs, alcohol, prostitution) and overwhelming darkness. Some nights people are nearly impossible to talk to because they’re so consumed with making a deal or getting their fix, and there are so many distractions out there. Pray against Satan and his presence in Hollywood.
