Prayer & Praise
> Please be in prayer for the services and meetings at the 2017 Annual ALC Convention. Specifically pray for the ministers meetings, the general delegates meeting, and the FM delegates meeting. Most of all, that the Word of God would be preached in Truth and Purity.
> The Foreign Mission is thankful to be able to be part of the Saturday afternoon 2 PM service. We also will have a information table and concession stand during the entire weekend. We look forward to seeing and speaking to you there!
> Pray for safe travels for our friends coming from abroad to the convention. We will have guests from Guatemala, India, and Ghana. Some of these will be arriving in June already.
> Our dear Brother, Matthew Niemela, who is currently serving independently in the Lord’s mission field, shared an email with many of us on June 8th from his mission post in Liberia. We are thankful for what the Lord is allowing Matthew to do in that country, and for this prayer. (which was part of that email) Let it be all of our prayers!
"Lord, teach me to love with gentle compassion, sympathy, and true wisdom, as You are sending more and more of Your lost sheep to me. Let my hands be blessing hands. Let my words be Spirit-led, Words in season to the weary. Let my heart be tender, big enough to encompass the hordes of troubled ones I meet daily, soft enough to break over the pain and lostness of another. Let my eyes be open to see another's need, my ears listening to discern the cry in the midst of the bravado and laughter of the Lost. Let Thy Spirit of Wisdom and Knowledge rest upon me in such measure that men will know Jesus as His Spirit works through me. Lord, deny me not this prayer for Jesus' sake, I pray. Amen” |
