The great thing about the 20/20 Vision is that everyone can be a part of it! Yes, even you! There are plenty of ways to get your Sunday School, Youth Group, Congregation, Prayer Circle, Fellowship gathering, Women's Group, Men's Group--and even your family--involved! For instance, you can:
Here are just a few things that our new churches need!
New Hope
Prayers and Needs:
Financial assistance fixing the sound system in our sanctuary, which is a big part of our Sunday worship
Prayers for finding financial sponsors of our newsletter.
Continued prayers for the growth (both numerically and spiritually) of our church plant
Prayers that we can be an oasis for people on the south side of Indianapolis
Prayers as we figure out what to do with our increasing struggle with a lack of space
Prayers for the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit as we look to restructure the churches outreaches, programs, and pretty much everything else. We feel God's leading to change directions in how we serve the people in the area.
Prayers for the newly elected board and those who are in office
Rev. Jason Graf and his family, as he and Heidi explore being parents and adjust to life in the ministry
The 20/20 vision of our Northern Province and the work of all of our churches to reach the lost and undiscipled of our communities.

New Horizons
Prayers and Needs:
With thanksgiving to God for the families who have come and made New Horizons their home.
For our new worship location
For success in our Lent and Easter Programs
For the growth of our leadership base
For the work of discipleship--we have found it a real challenge to help our young families to make the transition from a member of the audience during Sunday worhip to a minister in their community throughout the week.
For the 20/20 vision of our Northern Province and the work of all of our churches, both our emerging congregations and those long established, in our common purpose to reach the lost and undiscipled.

A study series for the community meeting at the school for a month ($500)
Prayers for a successful community Easter Egg Hunt this Easter at the local Elementary School
Prayers for deepening relationships with Christ as we undertake our Lenten Series
Prayers for safe travel and good fellowship as we join Ohio congregations in Youth Rallies at the end of March
Continue to pray for new contacts in the community—that we can translate them into life-transforming relationships with Christ and the church.
Pray for new people to join us for worship and to participate in cell groups.
Pray for our ministries of service to our community, including monthly neighborhood food drives, frequent meals and programs at a local low income housing complex, and personal caring for individuals in crisis.
Ask for God’s direction as we pray and plan to be a church that reaches people where they are rather than expecting them to come to us.
Pray for all of us to recognize and build friendships that will bring spiritual fruit.
Pray for God’s provision for our financial needs, which have been a big challenge this year
