Prayer is defined as raising one's mind and heart to God. It is any reflection on, response to, or conversation with God. God invites us into a relationship through prayer and it provides graces to become better people through virtues like faith, hope and charity. Prayer does not need to be long or formal, and all are worthy to speak to God. There are many occasions when prayer is appropriate, such as before challenges, meetings, health issues, and needs of students. Prayer can take many forms including blessing, petition, intercession, thanksgiving, and praise through both traditional and spontaneous means.

Understanding Your Spiritual Gifts
This document discusses spiritual gifts, which are special abilities given by the Holy Spirit to members of the body of Christ to help in the salvation of souls. Spiritual gifts are distributed in different measures by God through the Spirit and are not the same for everyone. They are meant to build up the body of Christ. Spiritual gifts should not be confused with natural talents, fruits of the spirit, Christian roles, or counterfeits. The document provides suggestions for discovering one's spiritual gifts through prayer, considering desires, getting involved, listening to feedback, and evaluating success. It also discusses recognizing gifts in club members through an organized, varied program that allows freedom and participation.
Prayer tips
True prayer involves listening to and learning from God rather than just talking, and the focus is on connecting with something greater through slowing down. Prayer should be transformative and make us more spiritual, and silence, solitude and surrender can help with prayer by reducing obstacles like attachment, negative attitudes, and over-reliance on habits and traditions. The authenticity of one's prayer is reflected in how they relate to others.
Stages of spiritual growth - spiritual childhood
The document outlines four stages of spiritual growth: spiritual childhood (focusing on growing into a new life and out of self-centered living), young adulthood (growing into God-centered ambitions), parent (sacrificing for others to grow), and notes that spiritual maturity is not defined by age or church attendance but by being humble and honest in evaluating one's growth. It provides biblical passages about guiding spiritual children to develop other-focused attitudes and perspective in hardships, and growing up into Christ through speaking the truth in love.
Stages of spiritual growth - spiritual infancy
Spiritual growth is a process that occurs in stages, beginning with spiritual infancy where one is growing into a new life in Christ through developing relationships, learning God's word, and forming new habits. As one moves to childhood, they grow out of self-centered living and into young adulthood where they pursue God-centered ambitions. The final stage is becoming a spiritual parent where one sacrifices to help others grow in their faith. True spiritual maturity is measured not by age or church attendance but by humility and honesty in self-evaluation to continue progressing in one's faith.

Finally, the document addresses discipleship, noting that spiritual growth requires commitment from the individual as God does His part, and that maturing as a disciple means changing selfish thoughts to more mature thinking.

Prayer.pptx
This document discusses principles for effective prayer according to God's word. It states that prayer should:
1. Seek to understand God's truth, obey God, and worship God rather than engage in religious ceremony.
2. Draw upon practical difficulties and problems, speaking honestly from the heart rather than empty words.
3. Frequently pray about performing duties and entering life, seeking truth and reality rather than just confessing sins. Effective prayer focuses on understanding and doing God's will.
Abundant Living(2)
The document discusses spiritual disciplines and provides a workbook for personal reflection. It introduces six spiritual disciplines: 1) Worship and pray regularly, 2) Care for others through Christian friendships and small groups, 3) Study the Bible and engage in devotional practices, 4) Give generously toward tithing, 5) Witness to what God is doing through word and invitation, and 6) Serve others through acts of love, compassion and justice. The workbook provides exercises for each discipline to help the reader grow deeper in their faith and commitment to God.
Spiritual Disciplines
The document discusses spiritual disciplines and their purpose of cultivating spiritual growth and a healthy relationship with God. It describes spiritual disciplines as practices that create time and space for life transformation by deepening our relationship with God. Christians throughout history have engaged in spiritual disciplines because they are modeled and taught by Jesus in the Bible. The document provides an overview of six Groundwork episodes that will explore specific spiritual disciplines in Scripture such as prayer, fasting, simplicity, silence, service, and Scripture study. It encourages engaging with the episodes to learn about applying these disciplines to one's spiritual life.
Soul Manifestation
Man’s highest world of values reflects the highest spiritual conception of love, therefore the focus of true prayer should be in the heart. The most important thing is the love and devotion of the heart, not the external way in which prayer is performed.
Through prayer, one strengthens the bond of love with God until one is equal to the high energy of God. Through the integration of the lover, or prayer, and the Beloved, or God, eventually becomes bliss. Bliss is a high consciousness of oneness, which can also be called contemplative prayer.
THANKSGIVING IS LIFE.pdf
“‘Be thankful’ (Colossians 3:15) is a recurring exhortation in the letters of the apostle Paul. No other New Testament writer gives such a sustained emphasis on thanksgiving―and yet, major modern studies of Paul fail to wrestle with it. Dr. Paul Allieu Kamara aims to rehabilitate this theme in this comprehensive and accessible study, a New Studies in Biblical Theology volume. He shows how, for Paul, thanksgiving is grounded in the covenantal traditions of salvation history. To offer thanks to God is to live a life of worship and to anticipate the future acts of God, all in submission to the lordship of Christ. Ingratitude to God is idolatry. Thanksgiving functions as a link between theology, including eschatology, and ethics. Here Dr. Paul Allieu Kamara provides clear insights into the passion of an apostle who never fails to insist on the significance of both the gospel message and the response this message demands. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understanding their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.”

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
