Progress Report #4

Promotion - press releases have gone out to local papers, twice daily prayer radio spots will begin May 13, there is a possibility of a human interest story being done by the Review as well. The NDOP breakfast at Plymouth City Hall will have a short visual and verbal promo with an info table set up. This week a bulletin insert will be sent to area churches. Sponsoring churches and organizations will be receiving promo posters and a 50 pack of prayer guides at the NDOP breakfast. Our web site continues to get visitors and we have been able to share some of our planning resources with the GDOP in Fredrickson, VA.

Prayer Area - the prayer gathering, prayer walk/drive, and individual prayer and fasting schedules for the 10 Days of Continuous Prayer and 90 Days of Blessing are now complete and posted on the "Prayer" page of the web site.

• Currently, we have 20 individuals receiving our 40 day count down email prayer prompts and list of prayer needs for the GDOP Plymouth. If you would like to interceed for us in this way send an email to gdopplymouth@gmail.com and type "40 day count down" in the subject area.
• We have a dedicated prayer room for early morning and noon hour prayer each of the 10 Days! Praise God! This is an answer to prayer! It is a good location with easy access in a nice building; the former Quiznos on Eastern Avenue in Plymouth. Terry, from Sun Graphics, owns the building and is allowing us to use the space free of charge. Please ask the Lord to bless him and cause his business to prosper. The prayer room will be open from 5:30-7 am and noon till 1 pm daily from May 13-22. We may close the prayer room on Sunday, May 16. We will have a specific prayer emphasis each day and various prayer topic stations to choose from within the room as well. A host/hostess will be present and will lead some guided prayer.  We are looking for those willing to help get this room set up prior to May 13 and those who may be willing to host a morning or noon session at the prayer room.
• Each of the sponsoring churches will host an evening prayer gathering during the 10 Days. There will be a daily prayer focus and leader for each of these gatherings.
• We hope to have 200 people commit to using the 10 Day Prayer Guide as well but, we are still working on the logistics of getting this commitment.
• We are making email prayer prompts available for each of the 10 days. Sign up by sending an email to gdopplymouth@gmail.com and typing "10 day prayer prompts" in the subject area.
• There are two dates chosen for prayer walks/drives to cover our community; Saturday, June 19 and Sunday, July 25. Appropriate routes are being mapped for walking and driving in teams of two or four. Routes will be chosen and assigned according to need and response. They will launch together from one location and then have the option to come back together at the end for a time of reporting/sharing their experiences on the route.
• Monthly prayer gatherings will be held at Rooseveldt-Nutt Hill Park in Plymouth from June-September.
• Individuals may sign up to commit to fast and pray one day each month during June, July and August. Ideally we will have each of the 90 days covered.

G Day Area (Pentecost Sunday service) - is ready with only a few minor details to work out. We are very excited about this service which the Advisory Board pastors have developed! It promises to be very dynamic and meaningful for any who participate and will certainly bring glory to our Lord Jesus! Child care will be available for those age 3 and under.

90 Days Area - we identified three targets for our first 90 Day effort: help an individual or family in need, improve our community in a tangible way and pray specifically for our community. The Organizing Team has chosen the two projects, and again, this is an answer to prayer! We will be serving a family in Elkhart Lake and we will be doing a community clean up project in Plymouth. The Plymouth project will be chosen from a list received from community leaders. More specific details on these projects will be available very soon. The specific prayer for our communtiy has also been planned and is described in detail within the Prayer Area report.

Involvement Area - this area will become much more active as the 10 Days commence and the 90 Days projects are developed. Susie is gearing up as the people resource go to/contact person.  She will be aware of all the needs and opportunities we plan for blessing our community and will be seeking people to fill those needs by working closely with project heads and church mobilizers.

Coordinators - are now taking bulk orders for prayer guides. $30 for a 100 pack. You may order less than that and we will consolidate orders for the best price. Contact us by phone or email to place your order ASAP. Orders need to be placed by May 6 to avoid expedited shipping costs.

To God be the glory!
