The Olive Tree Ministries of Alabama

Did you know that Olive Tree Ministries of Alabama has officially started in Lowndes County? Along with Montgomery Baptist Association churches, several other denominations have come together to fight poverty, racism and lack of education in this county. This county is about 31% pop. below the poverty level. Partnering with the Lowndes County BOE to provide tutoring and holding Operation Inasmuch Mission Days(revitalizing homes of seniors)this ministry will make a difference. Black and white churches are working together this Fall also to begin forging friendships with each other and bridging the racial gap.
Would you pray for the Olive Tree Ministries of AL? 
Pray for resources, volunteers and open hearts as they live as disciples of Christ in this county.
Isaiah 55:11 says: "So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty,but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. 
Pray for the right words for each of these volunteers that will be bring streams of living water to refresh the people of Lowndes County!

This week: There are over 50 countries that are represented in our county's population! Did you know that? Wonder what would happen if we took the time to pray for the Lord to speak to those from other places who are not Christ followers to have an experience this week with the Living God? Would you join us this week in doing that?

 
These next few days, there are 15 people that will be trained in Conversational English to be teachers. They are taking a step to reach people for Christ through teaching a practical skill. Pray for them as well!
