A Time to Praise and Thank and Love Jesus!
--By WS Staff 1/96

Dear wonderful children and JETTs,
	Praise the Lord! Happy Birthday dear Family! Hallelujah!
	During this year's Birthday Celebration, the teens and adults will be reading some new GNs together. And at the same time, we have some beautiful new MLKs, TKs and other pubs for you! The new pubs for you are:
	1. The Love Story MLK
	2. Mama's Love Story Hope TK
	3. Heidi TK (reprint from TK Vol.3)
	4. Loving Jesus MLK
	5. Praise Time MLK
	6. I Love You--Just You! MLK
	7. What Is Prophecy? MLK
	8. MLK Posters
	9. Kidz Activity Pages (KAP #6)
	10. Kidz Activity Pages (KAP #7)

	Wow! Isn't that exciting? Ten new pubs for you!
	And, similar to last year, when the adults and teens were reading the Love Charter, Mama Maria would like you children and JETTs to be our main prayer warriors. Could you please? Our whole Family will really appreciate it, because we know your prayers will do mighty things!
	The most important thing we want to do this year at our Family Birthday Celebration, is to love and thank and praise the Lord for His wonderful care and love for each one of us. When you read the new MLK "Loving Jesus," you'll see that loving and praising and thanking the Lord is so important--because as we "draw nigh to Him" He will "draw nigh to us!"--And He said, "When My children call unto Me, oh, I shall rejoice! And oh, I shall be glad! I will shout with great joy! And I will pour out My gifts to My children for their great love for Me." Isn't that beautiful? Our love and praise is also something that Jesus needs and longs for. He wants us to love Him, and He is even lonely without our love. Doesn't that make you want to spend lots of time giving Jesus your love, and listening to Him?
	As you have your prayer times for our Family, try to make your prayers of request as positive and praise-filled as possible. For example, in your prayer you could thank Jesus for how He always answers us and works things out in His Own perfect time and way. For example, if there is a prayer request for someone who is sick, you could pray, "Jesus, thank You for promising that by Your stripes we would be healed. And thank You for loving and caring for our dear sister who is sick. We praise You Jesus, for how You are caring for her and comforting her and know that the `prayer of faith will save the sick and You will raise her up!' Hallelujah!" Or, if you're praying for some special needs your Home has, such as a new house, you could pray, "Jesus, thank You that You have promised to supply all our needs. And thank You for how You have wonderfully cared for us every day! We praise You and we thank You for how You are helping and guiding as we seek Your will and search for the place You want us to go. Thank You Jesus!"
	To help us think of ways to show Jesus our love, our dear folks at Family Care have compiled the "Praise Time Ideas" FSM (FSM 285). Those of you who are planning and preparing activities will find lots of fun ideas in this pub, so it will probably be good to look it over ahead of time. Dear JETTs, maybe you could look it over with the older children, and choose different activities you'd like to do.
	God bless and keep you! We pray you have a happy, fun, inspiring, loving Birthday Celebration!
	Love, Your WS Family

Birthday Celebration Prayer Time

THEME FOR DAY ONE: Prayer for Our Queen Maria and King Peter and their teamwork, and for Family publications.
	On the first day of our 1996 Family Birthday Celebration we would like you JETTs to help lead the children in praying and praising and thanking the Lord for all the wonderful blessings He has poured upon our worldwide Family this last year and will be pouring upon us in 1996, and for letting our King David speak to us and help us from Heaven.

Please especially thank the Lord for the following:
	For keeping our precious Queen Maria.
	For giving us a new king, King Peter!
	For keeping Mama Maria's teamworkers and helpers.
	The wonderful prophecies from Jesus, Dad and others that Mama Maria is passing on to the Family!
	Grandpa being able to help Mama, as he said he would, through the messages that he gives the Family.
	For more Praise Times to Jesus!
	For Jesus showing Mama Maria and Peter how much closer Jesus wants to be to each one of us, and can be if we ask.
	For keeping the Continental Officers and other Family leadership.
	For helping those in World Services and many Service Homes to keep producing the publications, videos, tapes, and other materials or services needed by our Family.

Special things to pray for on the first day of the Feast:
	For Mama Maria and Peter's health, strength and wisdom.
	For the Lord's continued anointing as Mama Maria and Peter take on the big job of leading the Family and passing on the Lord's Words and counsel.
	That Mama Maria and Peter's teamwork will be a great strength and blessing to them, and that they will have the Lord's wisdom and guidance as they help care for the Family.
	Mama Maria's health and against the Enemy's attacks on her through sickness and afflictions; for resistance to colds, earaches and headaches; for the healing of her eyes.
	For Peter's health: protection from headaches, neck aches, backaches, heart pains, and other attacks of the Enemy; for good sleep.
	For the spiritual and physical health and security of Mama Maria's staff, plus continued miraculous protection and safekeeping of their Home.
	For strength, anointing and wisdom for our Continental Officers.
	For the WS pubs units and the health, strength, wisdom, protection, inspiration and anointing of those in them, and for the many projects they are working on.
	That the Lord will miraculously supply finances for the many important pubs projects planned, and for WS to be able to keep helping needy field ministries.
	For the production of more GP publications, including books. That our GP materials will bear positive, long-lasting fruit in the hearts and lives of those who receive them.
	For the new Family Education Departments at WS and Continental Offices that they will be able to be a great blessing to the Homes.
	For Family Care personnel and their production of materials for our young people and children.
	For more children's pubs to be produced, especially more Kidz Mags, MLKs and Hope TKs!
	For our video and audio studios, and all they are producing, and that they will have good shepherding and oversight, inspiration, health, spiritual well-being, good organization and anointed results, and make good progress on important projects.
	For new equipment as needed in various pub, video and audio ministries. Pray against any equipment breakdowns or theft.
	For our National Printing Centers (NPCs) and other Service Centers: that they will be productive and fruitful, and for the workers to be happy and fulfilled.
	For the security of Family mailings.
	For our LIMs and Lit-Pics: that our translators will have wisdom, inspiration, health, safety and security as they work on the Words and GP distribution tools; also that they will be able to get as many of our GP materials as possible into the languages of those we are ministering to.

THEME FOR DAY TWO: Thank You Jesus day!--Praising and Loving Jesus! And prayer for our witnessing.
	The second day of the Family Birthday Celebration is a time for you JETTs and the children to fill up on Jesus! This is a day to pray that everyone in our whole Family will be able to draw closer to Him and become a wonderful sample of His love to each other and to everyone we meet and minister to. We can call it our special "Thank You Jesus day" where we show Jesus our love and appreciation and faith in Him. We tell Him how much we love, need and want Him to be close to us, and help us be more like Him. We want Him to help us be kinder to those around us. Also, on this day, since our main job in this life is to tell others about Jesus and be a sample to others of what He is like, please pray for His help, protection, strength, wisdom and blessing for all our witnessing and outreach efforts and the things we do to try to reach people and win souls for Him.

Take some time to thank the Lord for the following:
	For Mama Maria teaching us to take special time to love and praise the Lord and get closer to Him each day!
	For the great love Jesus has for each of us.
	For making our Family so different and special, and for letting us help and lead other people to Jesus so they can be happy, too.
	For all the friends of the Family the Lord has drawn to His great Love and Light that He gives us so freely.
	For how Jesus takes such good care of us and delivers us time after time from all our fears and sins, and problems and enemies.
	For all the New Wine of the Word Jesus has given us to make us His strong, happy soldiers in His great army of Love.

Special things to pray for on the second day of the Birthday Celebration:
	For the Lord to give us all more of a hunger for His wonderful Words.
	For the Lord to help us take more time to love and praise Him.
	That reading time for the teens and adults during this Birthday Celebration time will be blessed, and they will be strengthened and inspired by the new Letters, and be able to grow as a result.
	For more witnessing teams to reach the needy with the Gospel and win many to the Lord, helping to fill their lives and hearts with God's Love.
	For open doors so we can get out our tools in larger quantities than ever before.
	For good feeding of our friends and follow-up of the sheep the Lord leads us to.
	That each of our Family Homes will be able to establish solid, fruitful and long-lasting ministries, such as "Consider the Poor" ministries, well-organized follow-up ministries, youth outreach, etc.
	For all our Family pioneer road teams going to countries or cities where there are no Family Homes: that the Lord will guide them, supply their needs, give them protection, new friends and contacts, and help strengthen their present friends.
	For our Family to be able to learn the local language more quickly and easily so they can be more effective when witnessing.
	For our catacombers and potential disciples: that they will be inspired and grow in faith and the Word.
	For the good care of all new disciples and for wisdom in ministering to their parents and relatives.
	Pray especially for the Lord to bless all the witnessing outings by our Family young people and children. Pray:
	1. That we will be excited and inspired about witnessing and have more love for the lost.
	2. That we will get good training in personal witnessing.
	3. That the Lord will defeat any attacks of the Enemy trying to stop us from doing our very important job for the Lord.
	4. That we will be well grounded in the Word and know how to use the Word to boldly and wisely answer people's questions when we are witnessing.
	5. That we will be well-prepared for the battles and spiritual attacks ahead.
	6. That we will continue to be well-shepherded and be able to talk to our shepherds about questions or battles that come up when we go out witnessing or at other times.
	7. That the Lord will bless our witnessing, provide us with exciting witnessing ministries, reward us with thrilling experiences, and let us be able to win lots of souls, change people's lives and win some new disciples!
	8. For the Lord's discernment and protection when out witnessing, so we can reach the sheep and avoid the wolves.
	9. For all those trying new ways to witness, such as learning sign language so they can witness to deaf people, or doing TV or radio shows, or special performances.
	That the various "Consider the Poor" ministries will continue to be fruitful, that doors will open and any needs will be miraculously supplied.
	For prison and juvenile delinquent ministries to be blessed, protected, and bear lasting fruit.
	For friends of the Family, including lawyers, theologians, government officials, academics, reporters, etc.
	Pray that all our friends, contacts and supporters will:
	1. Grow spiritually.
	2. Have the Lord's blessing on their lives.
	3. Stay healthy and successful in their work.
	4. Receive the Lord's miraculous solutions to any difficult situations they face. 5. Receive and be strengthened by the Word, and draw closer to the Lord and the Family.
	6. Continue to help and support the Family.
	For all of our mail ministries.
	For the Lord's financial supply for each and every Home and WS, and for large donations and windfalls.
	For good printing contacts.
	For wisdom in knowing how and what to feed different people.
	For lasting fruit in our Family mail and Internet ministries.
	For fruitfulness in the Family's cooperation with other Christian and non-Christian groups.
	That our Family will be able to produce the tools needed for ministering to people of other religions.
	That our Family singing teams will get good openings and bookings and give anointed performances with a fruitful witness. Pray that the Lord will provide all their needs, safe transport, health, security, costumes, and equipment. Also that they will be able to faithfully follow up on the people they meet.

Kids' Activities and Reading Lists
	Overall Tip: If those of you who are going to be spending some time with the children during the three days of the Family Birthday Celebration know about it ahead of time, you could prepare by spending some time familiarizing yourself with the MO Letter and Word Games section of Activity Book 4 (pages Q1-Q206), especially pages Q2-Q35, and see how many of the Word-related activities you can use to supplement the Word studies you'll be doing with the kids. Let's make these Feast days extra special, meaningful and enjoyable for the children by bringing the Word to life and making it as fun and exciting as possible!
	You are not expected to read all the material listed for each day. Simply select what is practical to cover in your situation. The bulk of these reading lists and activities can be used for future Word study classes after the Birthday Celebration.

THEME FOR DAY TWO: Thank You Jesus day!--Praising and Loving Jesus! Prayer for our witnessing.

TOPIC: Loving Jesus
	New Pub: "Loving Jesus!" (MLK 3024)

RELATED ACTIVITY:
	Discuss the importance of daily quiet time, and brainstorm ideas on how to make it a habit. Review the section "Be Kissed with His Words," starting on page 3 of the MLK. To help the children learn to spend more time with Jesus, you could encourage them (those able to read and write) to make their very own special "Loving Jesus" notebook! A simple spiral or paperback lined school notebook would do just fine.
	Such a notebook would give them something tangible to look forward to filling in during their times with Jesus. It can help them learn to treasure and take note of the things the Lord shows them. You may even be amazed at the things the Lord is able to show them!
	To start with, in the case that you don't have enough notebooks, the children could make temporary booklets. Then they could be rewarded with nicer notebooks later on down the line.
	Here's how to make a "mini book" out of only one sheet of typing paper; or, use lined paper that doesn't have holes or margin lines: Fold the paper from top to bottom, then from right to left. Unfold it and cut on the fold lines. Stack up the 4 small slips of paper, fold in half, re-open and staple in the middle. You now have a 16-page booklet out of only one sheet of paper! (For some other ideas on making books see Activity Book 1, pgs.B19, B25, B61, B91.)
	Whatever type of booklet you choose, here are some ideas of what to do with it:
	--Find and color a nice picture of Jesus, and glue it on the front cover. Write a title on the cover with your name.
	--Copy out the prayer that starts on page 15 of the "Loving Jesus" MLK. You can use this prayer from Mama as your own personal prayer during some of your Loving Jesus times.
	--Label one of the pages "Ways to Give Love to Jesus" and copy down the ways listed on page 10 of the "Loving Jesus" MLK. Maybe you can even think of more to add to the list! Then you can refer to this list when you need an idea of what to do during a Loving Jesus time.
	--Read page 11 of the "Loving Jesus" MLK. You might like to try writing a poem to Jesus about your love for Him. If you don't feel able to write in rhyme, just write your own prayer not in rhyme.
	--Make a habit of writing down quotes and verses that are an inspiration to you, or that you feel are instructional for you personally.
	--You could title one page "To Do," and use it to write down any "to-do's" the Lord gives you, and check them off as you do them. This isn't a to-do list for your regular jobs, but for special things between you and the Lord--such as if He inspires you to write a sweet note of appreciation to the cook, or to spend some personal time with your younger brother, etc.
	--Take special times to just get quiet and learn to hear the Lord's voice and His whispers, as described in the "Loving Jesus" MLK, and write down what you hear, whether a verse, quote or prophecy. Also, make a good habit of always writing the date by everything you write in your "Loving Jesus" book.
	--Take time regularly to review the things you've written down. You can also share them with your parents, teachers, or friends if you like. It's okay, too, if you want to keep these special notes just between you and the Lord!
