The 50 State Prayer Project.

During our learning time this year, one of my goals is to familiarize ourselves with all fifty states; with our country. We have discussed Tennessee the most, since it is our home state, but we are beginning a really cool project of which YOU can be a part!



Here's our plan: we will pray each day for two states, and then begin the list again once all fifty states have been prayed over. This list should rotate every 25 days back to the top. Today we prayed for Tennessee and Kentucky:



The kids began naming people that live in Tennessee that we could pray for; the list goes on and on!
Here's where you come in: we want to make a list for EVERY state. Where do YOU live? Can we add you to our list?? If so, leave your name and state in the comments here on the blog, on facebook, or on twitter. We will add your names to our "50 State Prayer Project list" and pray for you!!

Live outside of the United States?? Awesome! We will add you, too. We want to be praying for others all over our country and world. Join us??

My sister Rachel Wells and her fiance Zach Barbieto live in Hawaii, so perhaps you can pray for them, too! They're getting married in January.

Thanks for praying for us. By the way, we love Tennessee. My parents are from East Tennessee, and we visit there often!
