The Capt'n's shared some requests for the signing and I am going to list them here and then flush them out a bit.
1.) "Pray that through this event 10,000 doorways will open for people to come closer to God."
That really is the Capt'n's heart cry, he wants to see Christ use the stories he tells to bring his audience closer to Him. So here are some ideas to pray:
A. That Christ give Wayne the words to speak, and the time to speak them. That they be heard and not lost in the din of everything that's going on that night. He's worked hard to get this chance to speak to people and they will listen to him because he's a published author and a teacher.
B. That Wayne's physical voice hold out, he'll be doing a dramatic reading of the work (why they haven't decided to do an audio CD of his books is beyond me. They'd sell like hot cakes if he did the reading) and also that the microphone (should he be given one) cooperate.
C. That oodles of people would come and attend the event so that the Capt'n can share his love for stories, for his fans, and also for the deeper things of the Gospel.

Dear Jesus, please make everything at the event go smoothly. Give Mr. Batson the words You want him to say, energy, a strong voice, and everything else he needs. Bless him and everyone else at the event tremendously. May people find You through his ministry. Thank you!
Amen
-Becca Johnson
I'll be prayin' too, ES.
Oh my ... if he did the readings for the audio books, they certainly would sell like hotcakes.
