OPENING PRAYER FOR BLUEPOINT'S YEARLONG ROAD TOUR
 Our Heavenly Father:
We come to Thee in grateful prayer this morning, even as we join even for a few moments these young men and women who are about to start on a yearlong journey of faith and adventure. With them, we ask for Your gracious blessing upon their mission of bringing a new kind of alternative low-cost technology Linux to various cities and places in the Philippines, starting here at Technological Institute of the Philippines.
All of us, just like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, are on a pilgrimage of faith and hope, ever aware of life's varying scenes and challenges. Just as You have blessed all of us in the past, we implore you to bless their uncertain future.
Lead them on through all their tomorrows as You have led them through all their yesterdays. Each day will probably bring new faces, new opportunities and disappointments, perhaps new anxieties and new hopes. Abide with them, dear Lord, so that with courage and strength and fortitude they may walk with boldness into the future, knowing that You will be with them, no matter what happens. We now commend them to Your abiding love and grace, in the name of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, Amen.Jovito R. Salonga
