• Pray that participants in the got purpose? campaign will have a renewed desire to pursue spiritual habits in their lives.
• Pray that each person in our church would increase in spiritual maturity and godly character.
• Pray for the personal desire of each person to grow in the knowledge of God through His Word.
• Pray that the got purpose? campaign will give a new understanding of suffering. Pray that trials will be viewed as opportunities God allows for our growth.
• Pray for God to give insight to people as to how they can help others progress in their faith.

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." [Philippians 3:12-14 (NIV)]

"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ." [Philippians 1:9-10 (NIV)]
