Some other Prayer Topics 2008:

"God has called each artist around the world to pray: that the Lord of the harvest might send out labourers into the harvest field – which includes the world of the arts. This is the need of the hour! Let us all come together, humble ourselves, and seek the face of the Lord, trust in Him to exalt Himself in today's arts world."

Dr. Patrick Kavanaugh Artistic Director, The MasterWorks Festival Executive Director, Christian Performing Artists' Fellowship (www.christianperformingart.org)

-------------------------------------------------

“This is an era of change. A period of change gives many opportunities to stand up for righteousness, beauty, compassion. This is an era where artists can really contribute to shape the culture based on biblical values. This is a time with an incredible challenge.”

-------------------------------------------------

1. Pray for pastors and leaders to become aware of the significance of the arts to impact Europe with the Gospel and that these leaders will affirm and endorse artists moving in European culture.
2. Pray for artists who are Christians to find a resting place in church so that they might be nourished and nurtured in the pursuit of their call as artists.
3. Pray for finances and financial strategies to be birthed so that worthy Christian artistic endeavours can be supported throughout Europe

-------------------------------------------------

1. Let’s pray for artists who don’t yet know Jesus: that we might be good witnesses to them and that they would deeply be touched by God.
2. Please, don’t forget to share your personal requests. Ask others to pray for you: that you experience the protection, love and creative power of the Heavenly Father, that your art might reflect your life and close walk with Jesus; that the Holy Spirit might fill and inspire you.
3. That Christian Artists might be gathered in prayer groups in theatres, orchestras, art academies, etc. and that they would see spiritual fruits.
