These servants and so many more have been working to create a space where you would be honored and glorified. A place where we could develop our gifts and abilities, so that more people would know You and Your great love. Be with these servants. Bless their time and their efforts. Keep them healthy and safe. Work through them. May all be done in Your name.

Prayer for those who couldn't attend the conference
Father, we are mindful of the gift we have in coming to Wonder. Thank you for providing a way. We know there are others who are not able to come and we ask that You bless them with opportunities to deepen their walk with You, refresh their souls and sharpen their skills. If you need us Lord to be their opportunity, we are here.
God there are seven days until the conference and You have done amazing things in less than seven days J If there are still servants who need to come, provide a way - provide the finances, provide the travel arrangements, provide care for teams, care for children - God we trust You. And we rejoice in Your knowing what Your children need.
Amen

God, we know that You are the Master of every moment and every minute. Let us be mindful of Your voice and cooperative with Your leadings.

If we come with our team, let us be good listeners - help us process together what we are learning and feeling. We are grateful for the gift of this community. God may we enjoy each other.
