Dear Family & Friends,
“Now the Lord said to Abram, ‘Go out from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household to the land that I will show you. Then I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great, so that you will exemplify divine blessing. I will bless those who bless you, but the one who treats you lightly I must curse, and all the families of the earth will bless one another by your name.’” Genesis 12:1-3
Today the story that will be told is the call of Abraham. In this text, Abraham is told that God will bless him in order that he might be an example of divine blessing. God wanted “who” to see this example of divine blessing? He wanted to show the rest of the world, the nations. He wanted to draw the nations to Himself through the example of blessing that He gave to Abraham and his family. God does the same thing today through us as Christians. When we live lives that show gratefulness to God for the blessings in our lives others are drawn to God and glorify His name. Let us pray that we live in such a way that glorifies God for the blessings in our lives.
Please pray for the Good News church and Eugene as they continue to learn to work together. Eugene is finding out that everything is not going to be as easy as it first seemed. Some of the cell groups are resisting going out to prayer walk and serve in the community. Other cells are resisting using the material that we are wanting them study. This is a result of no true guidance from leadership over a period of time. Please pray for Eugene and the cell leaders as they try to work together on these issues. Please pray as well for John to have wisdom as he tries to help them through this process.
Paul continues to help counsel certain students at the local grade school. These children all have some kind of family issue. Some of them have begun attending the Wednesday after school program at Eternal Light. Paul may begin helping with such youth at the local jr. high school as well. Please pray for Paul to have wisdom as he counsels these children, and for our program to bring Christ into the lives of these children.
Thank you for your prayers.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
