Looking Forward

On the heals of such an exciting summer our staff now has the difficult task of planning what the next year will look like here at World Impact St. Louis. There are so many needs in this community--so many opportunities to serve. And yet, we must be wise with the resources that God has entrusted to us.

Our deepest desire is to continue to share Christ's love in this community and to empower the local church to transform inner-city St. Louis for Christ's glory. Please pray for our staff as we solemnly weigh the needs of the community and the vision God has given us for our part in building His Kingdom. Pray that God will guide us as we plan programs and partnerships that will better serve North St. Louis, specifically in these areas:

• Children's Ministry
• Youth Ministry
• Young Adult Ministry
• The Urban Ministry Institute

In Proverbs chapter 16 we are told, "Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established (v.3)" and "The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps (v.9)". And so, as much as we plan, ultimately we lay the future in God's hands and pray that He continues to direct our steps. Join us in that prayer.
