Apollo On My Mind (03/10/17)

Route 56,  just above Apollo, PA

Apollo is down the hill beyond the red State Farm sign.  Apollo is a quaint borough comprised of hard-working people.  However, it is drug-laden.  It is affected by a poverty mindset.  Full-time, good-paying jobs are scarce.  Hope is in short supply for too many.

Please pray for my quaint, sleepy town.

• Pray for good-paying, full-time jobs to come to Apollo.
• Pray for success of law enforcement personnel as they battle the drug problem.  (Apollo is in Armstrong County, which ranks number two in Pennsylvania for overdoses per capita.) 
• Pray that drug dealers get caught, that citizens become more confident and skilled in reporting drug deals, and that police are in the right place at the right time to discourage drug activity.
• Pray for deliverance from a poverty mindset.  (There is nothing wrong with not having a lot. That is different from a debilitating, down-spiraling mindset which sucks life and hope.)
• Pray for increased resources so churches can help with ever-growing requests for assistance.
• Pray for wholesome, family-friendly recreation and entertainment outlets in Apollo.  (Students need weekend and after-school opportunities that are low cost or now cost.)
• Pray that people come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.  Pray for genuine repentance, with its accompanying results.
