*UPDATE: Ladies, I logged on real quick this morning to see how many girls needed prayer partners still, and to my surprise, the number ZERO appeared! It has been less than 24 hours and every single girl has been adopted for prayer. (Thank you, Beth, for putting it that way!) You ladies never cease to amaze us and we are beyond grateful for you. For those of you that are still wanting to participate, read through some of the comments and pray for some girls that have been listed there. Some other girls that haven’t received a scholarship might even pop on and you could adopt them! We love you! Thanks be to our God!
Good morning, Siestas! Can you believe we’re only three days away from Christmas? It has been pretty busy around LPM as we shut down the ministry for Christmas, but we also want to make sure we have everything ready to go for the New Year.
However, before Christmas gets completely past us, I wanted to bring your attention back to Passion 2012. Do you remember when we were able to give out scholarships to 1000 young women to attend the conference? Well, it was our desire that, after giving out each of the scholarships, we could rally together 1000 Siestas (you!) to partner with each of these girls and pray for them. So, I am thrilled to announce that we have our website up and running to make that happen.
Here is what you need to do: Click on this link: http://lproof.org/passion2012/prayer.aspx.
When you get to that page, the instructions are very clear how you can receive the name of the girl you will be praying for.
Here’s why we need to bounce on this with both feet: Passion is January 2nd – 5th so it’s coming up very quick! If you could take five minutes to do that, we would appreciate you more than you know and some wonderful young woman’s experience at Passion may be altogether intensified. You might put her name in your phone every day as a reminder to pray for her before, during and after Passion.
We love you ladies so much and hope you know what a vital part you’re playing in each of these girls’ lives. Let’s make sure each of them are lavishly covered by name. We know the Lord will show up and can’t wait to see lives changed and transformed. I am sure when we get back we’ll have a tremendous report for you. I know you’ll want to hear all about it!
Thank you, thank you for partnering with us and praying. We love you all so much!
What a truly wonderful privilege. Merry Christmas to all at LPM and to all Siestas.
What an awesome idea. I’ve just signed up to cover some ladies in prayer over the coming weeks (months, years even?!). May God be glorified in our praying and His Kingdom advanced through these dear ones of the next generation!
I love this!!
The Lord has used Passion to radically change my life ever since college. It will be a privilege to pray for these ladies.
Merry Christmas 🙂
Amy
So happy to pray for my sweet girl! I have written her name in my spiral and will pray Gods sweetest blessings over this life changing event!
Lindsee,
My daughter, Mauri Grace, received a ticket from the ministry along with four college friends. God blessed her with the ticket as well as my sister found a home for all five girls to stay during Passion so that cut the cost even more. However, three of the girls have dropped out and the one girl who can go lives 9 hours away from us in Houston and will probably ride and stay with a church from that area. We are 12 hours away from the event. Please join us in praying God will work out the details for Mauri Grace to attend. Thank you so much!

Shelley/Lindsee,
Just an FYI regarding girls who received the scholarship but are now unable to attend. I called Passion and was told that the registration CAN BE TRANSFERRED to another student.
I know that you mentioned, Shelley, that 3 girls have dropped out? Do you know if the scholarships have been given to another eligible student? Just thought I would pass the info along, so as to make sure that LPM’s amazing generosity and obedience would not be wasted.
If you need the contact email for the Passion staff member who can make the switch, I can post it.
I am so excited about this opportunity! This year is the first time in two years that I won’t be attending Passion. My sister and three of my best friends will be there so I picked 4 other young women to pray for, one for each of them! I’m so grateful for Passion’s ministry and trusting the the Lord will do a huge work in my girls’ lives through it, just as He used it in mine!
I’ve got my girls names written in Christmas green and placed on the fridge! I can’t wait to see what God’s gonna do at Passion this year!
Merry Christmas to each of you and may your year be filled with opportunities to serve our Savior.
I love you guys…
Kristi 🙂
What an awesome privilege to pray for these two precious sisters! Praying God moves mightily in their lives at Passion 2012!!
Merry Christmas Siestas!!
So excited to be doing this! I will begin praying today and if our paths never cross on earth I will look forward to meeting her in Heaven :-). Merry Christmas to LPM and all Siestas.
It is an honor to be asked to pray for these beautiful young women. I am saddened to see our Scripture Memory Team come to an end. I will think of all Siestas with fondness on the 1st and 15th of each month going forward. I will be unable to attend the Siestas get together with Beth, but I will hold each and every attendee up in prayer. What a gathering of Godly women that will be!! Thank you, Beth, for all you and your team at LPM do for all of us! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all Siestas. Sending many blessings and much love across the miles, Barb, Lakewood, CO.
I am honored to pray for these girls just recieved my two girls and I am putting there name son my fridge and can’t wait to see what the Lord will do for Passion 2012.
MerryChristmasto all of you and LPM

Hey Lindsee,
Question: One of the girls who received the scholarship is unable to attend Passion now for unexpected reasons. I wanted to know what to do–I don’t want to waste the scholarship!! Please let me know if I should call LPM.
AND SIESTA LADIES–I have a similar request to the one asked of us! I am volunteering at Passion as an intercessor (the conference has 24 hour prayer on site). We are instructed to ask 4-5 other intercessors to cover us while we are there. Well, if I could ask you all to pray, that would be a neat way to partner on our Siesta community!
Thanks,
Courtney
Hey Courtney, at this point, the easiest thing you could do is contact Passion to let them know of the girl that can no longer go. Thanks, Sister!
Hi Lindsee,
One of the Siestas posted about the Siesta Scripture Memory Team coming to an end. Is Beth going to continue to it in 2012. I know that spirals were not made for 2012. I pray that we will all continue because it has changed my life, mostly my mind 🙂 Merry Christmas sweet thing! Looking forward to meeting you at the celebration
Hi Michelle, we will not be doing scripture memory as a blog community in 2012, but by all means, get another sister and do it with her as accountability. And check back with us in 2013! Blessings!
I will be praying for you Courtney~May it be a wonderful, blessed experience!
I receive that blessing, Dayna!
Thanks!
Thanks for asking, Courtney–I will definitely be praying for you as you pray the “front lines” there in Atlanta. May the Lord’s presence be SO real to you and he other intercessors.
Thank you, Ruth…I trust God to bring me to your remembrance. He is faithful!
Courtney —
I am honored to pray for you! I got you covered.
Mary
Mary, the honor is all mine.
Thank you!
Done! 🙂 I’ve added you to my Passion 2012 Prayer List! HE will be there to guide you <3
Laurie, I receive that word of guidance, in Jesus’ name! I trust the Spirit to be present…
Thanks!
HI Courtney–
I also added your name to my Passion prayer list. May you, and those for whom you pray, experience God’s grace and peace in tangible ways. Thanks for the priviledge of praying for you.
Hi Courtney,
I have your name written in my prayer journal and will be standing in the gap for you during the conference as the Holy Spirit brings your name to remembrance. Praying now that God will strengthen you with might through His Spirit in your inner being, that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith. (Ehpesians 3:16-17 NKJ)
Much love,
Patti Hayes
So thankful for those who have lavishly covered me in prayer this past year and so honored to do the same for the sweet young lady whose name I was blessed to receive. Go Beyond beyond God!
I’ve seen God completely turn lives around thru weekends like this. I know several other girls going so it will be a privilege to pray for one more…and it will be a reminder to pray for the others too.
So glad to get to be a part of this. 🙂 Thank you.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,kindness, goodness, faith, gentelness, & self control, against such there is no law. I pray over all of us the Holy Spirit will intercede giving us wisdom and discernment so with our every step we draw closer to Him. God Bless us, every one!
Prayer IS the work! Honored to be a part and pray for these three young women, asking God to do immeasurably more than they dare ask or imagine.
What a great opportunity you’ve given us to be a part.
Thank you
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to pray for one of these precious young girls. Merry Christmas to you and your precious family!
Love, Dayna
Merry Christmas Lindsee!! May you have a blessed celebration with your family : )
SO honored to pray for my two young ladies! What a treat to be part of this.

Hey Lindsee,
It will be an honor to pray, thanks for asking us. Merry Christmas to you all at LPM!:)
I, along with several of my friends, received an LPM scholarship, and I cannot express how much of a blessing it has been to all of us. Now to have other Siestas pray for each one of us attending is amazing. I sit here counting down the days until Passion (11), and I’m praying everyday God would reveal Himself to each student there in powerful ways throughout the entire conference. Thank you, Siestas, for praying for each scholarship attendee. I know that I am forever grateful for each prayer! May God bless each of you tremendously!
This is fabulous! Thank you so much for putting out this request, making the page to sign up on and just generally RESPONDING to the leading of the Holy Spirit, LPM!!
Here’s a delightful God Thing: I recently met a woman whom the Lord has me praying for. Well, one of the girl’s names I received is the SAME as that woman’s! His economy is always so interesting, isn’t it?
As others have said, it is a PRIVILEGE to hold this event and these particular young women in prayer for the powerful work of the Lord in their lives.
I am so excited to hear how GOD showed up BIG at this event.
I have been given several young ladies to pray for, and am expecting great things from GOD in their lives!!!
We will never know this side of heaven exactly what this will do in the life of all these precious ladies.
Prayer CHANGES things, no doubt!
Merry Christmas Siesta’s 🙂 Love you all!!
I am so thrilled to lift up this sweet girl in prayer. Her name is on a note card on my wall… What a perfect time of year to shift our focus off of all the hustle and bustle and PRAY…
Love you guys,
Allison
Thank you for this opportunity! I got my girl’s name and she is entered each day in my calendar….Ariana, I will be lifting you up!
Judith
Blessings on each of those attending Passion 2012 – what a way to begin the year. Praying for two women – May God’s Presence shower them till they are so drenched in His Love and Spirit they are soaked to their core in Him!
What a glorious opportunity. Thanks mamma Beth ( I am older than u 54 lol). ForGod’s direction in this. Going to get my gal NOW!!!!!!

What a wonderful way to close out one year and open a new one….praying for these beautiful young ladies. Such a privilege to be a part of this – lives will be transformed and blessed by this opportunity thank you for allowing us to share and be a part.
Christina
I’m on it! I’ve signed up already and got my girls! I’m so excited!!! What an honor and a privilege to take a precious child to their Father and ask His blessings over them! Woe, can’t you already know that He’s waiting and willing and anxiously anticipating to answer!!!
But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; and there is no conflict with Jewish law.
Galations 5:22
The Living Bible
I entered the three girls I will be praying for in my memory verse notepad. I am so thankful for the privilege of lifting these young women up in prayer. To God be the glory! I am asking God to shower all these young people with His awesome blessings and love. Can’t wait to hear all about it!
Pam
Merry Christmas to everyone at LPM! This is an awesome idea. I will be signing up right away.
Blessings to all the young women who will be attending the conference too.
Mary Ann, Woodbury, MN
Yea!!! A little Siesta to pray for. That’s all I wanted for Christmas. Thanks so much for the opportunity to pray for these young ladies. I can’t wait to hear (here or in Heaven) how this conference is changing lives for good. Yea God!
I can’t tell you how much this means to me! I have two daughters going on the scholarship. bothnof them were so grateful for the opportunity to go. to know as their mama that someone out there is praying for them to be touched by the LORD Jesus through this, as much as I am is truly a wonderful thing. I am praying for someone else’s daughters too. the same way I will be praying for my own. thank you, ALL of you for doing this. these young women are STARVING for God to speak and move!
Heidi
I got my two names…I’m so excited! I have been looking forward to this for so long! Thanks so much for the oppurtunity to cover these two precious girls in prayer. I can’t wait to hear all about it! Blessings to you!
This is so cool! I love it!
I chose two girls – to represent the prayer that someday my OWN two girls might attend a conference and be prayed over similarly. And, by chance, both of my sweet prayer girls are named Emily – they are gonna be BATHED in prayer!
What an honor to pray for Lily. I will be praying for her along with my daughter Megan and her friend Maddie (got a LPM scholarship) 🙂 Siestas we all need to be praying for all the young adults attending Passion 2012. My prayer for my daughter is that her world would be turned upside down and I am believing it will be so!!!!
This ppportunity made with cry with joy. God is so incredible to allow us the priviledge of coming to Him in prayer for a young sister in Christ who we have never met. Wow!
What a joy and priviledge to pray. I have signed up and will be lifting them up. Our God has big things in store. Merry Christmas to all of you. May your hearts be filled with His joy and love.
Do we get to learn about the young woman? Communicate at all?
Praise The Lord!! Excited to be apart of this!!..I have wanted to help or be apart of this years Gathering. This is Awesome!!,,Thank You,I have been following the Passion Acclimate streaming word web site,its Awesome!! Siestas check out this site,,,www.268generation.com/acclimate
Standing with My Sisters in Prayer for this Generation to say YES to Jesus!!,..Zipping over now to receive the name for Prayer!!,,,EXCITED!!…BLESSED!!…TOTALLY PUMPED!!
What an awesome opportunity to bath these young ladies in prayer. I’ve written the names of my 3 in my Siesta memory book, and I will be praying my verses over them.
Just had to leave a comment to share how God cracks me up!!! I signed up to pray for a girl for Passion and who did I receive but a precious ‘Shelby’?! Why is this so funny you ask? I always said that if I ever had a daughter I would name her Shelby, that was until I married a man with the last name Elswick! Come on now, say it in your best Southern drawl…Shelby Elswick….sounds like a country singer if I ever heard one! Ugh….
So, this is the Lord allowing me to pray for my sweet Shelby that I’ll hopefully get to squeeze in Glory someday! He just cracks me up!!! Thanks for this joy LPM!
Thank you for giving us this opportunity. I’ve signed up and am honored to pray for three special young ladies. May God move mightily in their lives and hearts.
I am 23 and am attending Passion, so I excited to get to pray for a fellow Passion sister! 🙂
siestas!!
let’s not wait until january, start praying for these precious ones now!! the enemy would just love to mess with their schedules or health or any other manner of distraction to keep them from what God has in store for them.
blessings to you all during this christmas season!!

What an honor and privilege to be intercessors for Passion 2012! Thank you for entrusting specific women to us… personalized prayer is such a blessing. I commit to begin praying today for the three women I was assigned. Their names are recorded and my trusty phone is set to remind me lest I get distracted (God forbid).
God bless the prayers of His people. Merry Christmas to you and yours everyone!
I’m honored to pray for the two girls whose names were given me. What a blessing!
WoooHoooo!! I am excited to be praying over all 5 of my girls. Jesus is going to show up and knock their socks off! <3 I am lifting these girls up high, in Jesus' name…
I have never done anything like this before. I am so happy to be able to be apart of Passion in some capacity. I already have my girl to pray for! I pray He shows Himself to her in ways she didn’t know possible (among other things :).
