TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THE RETREAT AND WE GIVE PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING

You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain, and with Your blood You purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth. Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise (Revelation 5:9,10,12)!

Alleluia! You are indeed worthy, Lord! Thank you for Your precious life-giving blood. Thank you that we are part of Your Body around the world. Thank you for calling people from every tribe, language, people and nation. Thank you that we have been a part of this plan through every prayer we’ve offered for these women living and serving around the world proclaiming Your salvation. Take our offerings of prayer and multiply them.

Jesus, we ask that You lead the staff this afternoon as they begin to debrief their experiences together. May it be a time of thanksgiving, praise and mutual affirmation. The Thrive staff’s desire is to prepare the volunteer staff to now return home and continue to process all that they have heard and learned, along with the ability to share the retreat’s impact with family, friends and supporters.

While seeing some of the city, we ask for Your protection and for Your blessing on every aspect of their return home. May we do this with excellence, giving You all the glory and praise. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
