24/7 Prayer for the March Holidays!

Dearest brothers and sisters

Term One has finally come to a close. How have you been so far?

i'm sure it has not been an easy ride. For Year 5s, it may have been a trying time of adjustment and a period of tumultuous befuddlement. For Year 6s, it certainly has been a time of sleepless insanity. For our brothers from Year 1-4, i'm pretty sure that it has also been hectic with assignments, common tests and the like.

This March holiday is hence a much-needed break for us to catch up on our work, to spend more time with our loved ones, and most importantly, to spend more time with our First Love – God! Therefore, amidst all the work and a bit of play, let us spend some time to rest our weary souls in our Heavenly Father through Jesus our Lord, to earnestly seek Him for who He is, to ask Him to bless the works He has called us to do, and to make us channels of blessings to the people around us.

The 24/7prayer movement is established with the aim of seeking and glorifying God in prayer. It is a cooperative movement where 24 Christians (or more!) each dedicate just one hour a day to pray, making it a wonderful and heartening phenomenon where every moment of the day is ignited by prayers which advance our Heavenly Kingdom.

Indeed, ACS(I) is “a great parish with many many opportunities” to win souls for Christ. It is our hope and desire that through this prayer movement, we will encounter God intimately, and that He will open our spiritual eyes and ears to perceive the need for God around us and to hear His directive voice so that we can truly be beacons of truth and light within the school, guiding the lost to the Almighty.

(= Thanks to those who have responded enthusiastically, please remember to
1) look out for prayer updates here in the upcoming days
2) SMS the person down the relay system when your slot is just about to end (you will know who's after you before Monday)

If you'd have yet to volunteer for this movement but would like to take up the challenge and devote one hour a day for a week of the March holidays to pray, please do email or SMS me. Thank you!

Have a restful and fruitful holiday up ahead!
May God add all good things unto you as you seek first His kingdom and righteousness!!

Your sister in Christ,
