“The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord – and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.” (Isaiah 11:2-3)
The Christmas festivities continue with the Italian national holiday on 12.26.22 to honor the first Christian martyr, Stephen. The reality is this holiday is just to recover from Christmas before going back to work. Pray that Christians across Italy would have that same Holy Spirit boldness and wisdom of Stephen to proclaim the Gospel, uphold truth, refute lies, and love others. Pray that they would not hold a grudge against their persecutors but would boldly persevere in expanding the Kingdom of God no matter the cost.

Join Tony and Kim Cash (International Services/Freedom Lake) in praying this prayer:
Lord, we pray that you would put those people in front of us who may be feeling ashamed, unworthy, unloved… who need to hear what Jesus has done for them. We pray for open eyes when You put those in front of us. Help us to minister to them in that moment.
