June 8

MLA's will be sworn in on June 8.  The cabinet will be announced shortly after.  We will start daily MLA prayer posts as soon as possible after that date.  Our goal is to be ready as soon as members take the oath.

Have a great week!

Transition Time

While it's been over a week since the election was held, we are in a bit of a holding pattern until recounts are done and the results are made official.  Once the results are official, members will be sworn into office, the cabinent will be named  and we will be able to create new profiles begin posting daily MLA Prayer bulletins as we did prior to the election.

In the meantime, please pray for Premier Campbell and those who are working with him as he prepares to name a the cabinet and assign responsibilities to MLA's.  We ask for the same wisdom to be extended to Carole James and her shadow cabinet as well.

Part of What We Accomplished....

I'm working on an interview for a national magazine and began to think about the numbers involved with PrayBC.  On average we had about 2000 people per day praying with us.  At 3 minutes per day, that translates into about 6000 minutes or about 100 hours of prayer each day of the campaign.  Over 29 days, that takes us to almost 2900 hours or about 121 solid days of prayer.

I'm astounded at the results.  I had no idea we were hitting these kind of targets.  I'm humbled to have been a part of this and thrilled at the same time.  I'm tremendously proud of the people who helped write a fresh prayer for each day and of the 2000 people who stood with us on behalf of BC.

I believe that there are answers to those prayers that have yet to be discovered.  I can hardly wait to share them with you! 

Thanks from PrayBC!!

I just want to say thanks to the almost 2000 of you who have prayed along with us for the past 29 days. Thanks for believing in the vision and purpose of PrayBC. You have made history in BC and we have only just begun.

It has been so exciting to know that we were praying the same thing for the same reason all across BC over the past 29 days. God has heard us and has answered us by sending capable and wise men and women to serve our province. He has chosen them and will empower them to serve with distinction. Over the coming weeks and months, we will discover the many ways in which He has chosen to answer us. BC will be blessed because we stood in the gap together! Let's pray together one more time...

Lord, we stop to acknowledge Your goodness to us. You have heard and responded as we have prayed. You are faithful. We are blessed. We pray today for those who have been elected. We ask that you would empower them and equip them to serve with distinction. Fill them with wisdom. Keep them from evil and bless them in every way. As some embark on new careers, help them with the many adjustments and challenges that come along with this new role. Renew those who are returning. Refresh their vision, passion and conviction. Strengthen them for the work before them.

We pray especially for Premier Campbell today and ask that you would put you hand upon him as he chooses a cabinet and takes on the responsibility of leadership again. Help him to walk rightly, to do justly and to love mercy so that British Columbia might be blessed in every way.

We pray this in Jesus Name, Amen!

PrayBC Election Day Prayer

Father, in response to Your call and invitation we have asked you to use this election to accomplish Your purposes for our province. We have prayed in faith towards this day believing that you will hear from heaven and respond to the prayers of Your people. We remind ourselves that you grant men and women the right to rule and that you raise them up and move them aside according to Your perfect will.

Our prayer today is simply that your kingdom would come and that your will would be done in British Columbia as it is in heaven. We ask that you would bring voters to the polls, help campaign workers as they do their part and grant each candidate strength on this final day of the campaign.

Bless our province today with an outcome that fulfills Your purposes for British Columbia so that we and our nation will live with your blessing and grace. Grant us leaders whose hearts are soft and open to You so that we might find favour with You.

We ask this in Jesus name,

Amen.
