Persevere in Prayer | October 1, 2023

I have to confess that when I was young, I thought prayer was boring. I would much rather "do something" than sit around and talk to God about it. I have since learned that talking to God about a situation is doing something about it - it is joining Him in His work. This weekend, starting tonight at 7 PM is our Prayer Summit, will be a time where we praise God and seek what He wants to say to us personally and as a church. It is a can’t miss event. Tomorrow starting at 9 am, we will have an opportunity for children to lead us in prayer and to also make an impact on the world by praying global prayers. On Sunday, we will actually see how our prayers are being answered in the west African country of Togo as we will hear from Global Aid Network and Togo's country leader Patrice. (We have been praying and partnering ministry in Togo for years with Kwashie and Davi Amenudzie and now have intensified that in praying for the engaged people groups of the Bago, Basil, Tchamba and Tamberma peoples since 2017.) Finally on Sunday, we will learn how to pray identificational prayers for our families and church family like Daniel did in Daniel 9 for his people. God uses prayer as the first step in completing His mission. Let’s pray! Let’s continue to be a house of prayer!
