Introduction

My Dear Prayer Partners,

Thank you all for visiting this simple Jared and The Outer Circle prayer posting site.  Even though you may get a prayer message  from me every  week, if I can keep it up, I wanted a way to post as needed, but did not want to clutter your mailbox with a continuous flow of prayer concerns.  So I am going to try to use this space as the spot where I can continually journal prayer concerns as they come up.

I don't know how this is going to work.  (I confess, I am actually a bit nervous about knowing how and what to share with you, and when.)  You can begin by praying for the development of this site.  May the Lord establish the work of our hands, as we endeavour  to continue on in the good works God has created for us in Christ.  I am wired to be a designer, and that often means I make things too complicated in the name of simplicity.  So even though I must keep this a simple integration into our lives as we go to the Lord together, I hope I will find a way to post continual needs in one frame, praise reports in another, and use the main blog roll for imminent need.

Finally, there is the issue of prayer coverage.  I hope to have everyday covered by the continual prayer support of you, my prayer partners.  So I am asking everyone to commit to a 1 or more days a week or a month when you will read my emails, and perhaps visit this site.  I will be putting a calendar together so I can know who is praying for me when.  You are also welcome to call me up on the days you are praying, know that it is not necessary.  I am looking forward to correspondence with my prayer team, but am already seeing an inordinant amount of administrative time going into such communication.  With that said, would you let me know you will be praying for me, and when you are doing so, so I can calendar that and know who is interceding for us before the Lord each day of the month? 

Thank you
