We are thankful for the support of each Greenhouse Builder. We appreciate your giving and praying, as well as your promoting Greenhouse among those you know.

During the month of February, we invite you to pray especially for our former students and alumni, many of whom are now young adults. Please pray that they will follow the Lord and trust Him wherever He leads. Pray that they will lead by humbly serving those around them. Please also pray for the Lord’s shepherd-like care of those who have wandered, those who have been wounded, and those who struggle to hear His voice.

Especially if you know former students by name, we invite you to fashion your prayer for them, and your own household, along the line of Jesus’ teaching in Mark 10.

Mark 10:43-45 (NIV)

But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

How have you been served by the Son of Man (Jesus)? Contemplate what He has given you. Worship Him. Then prayerfully consider times when you are tempted to “lord it over others.” What does it mean to become a servant at those moments? Pray for the Lord to strengthen you to serve those He’s placed in your life. Pray that everyone connected with Greenhouse may grow in servant leadership, rooted in Jesus Christ.
