August 19, 2012 Prayer Note

Dear Family & Friends,

 

So Peter was kept in prison, but those in the church were earnestly praying to God for him. … Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the prison cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly!” And the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.  The angel said to him, “Fasten your belt and put on your sandals.” Peter did so. Then the angel said to him, “Put on your cloak and follow me.”  Acts 12:5, 7-8

 

This is part of the scripture from today’s sermon that Chris Sanford will be presenting.  The emphasis is on prayer.  In this passage we see God acting as the people brought their petition before God.  Peter was not just brought out of jail by the Angel, but was actually kept from being killed as well.  When we pray in faith believing God will act.  Pray with us as we try to establish prayer as the basis of ministry within the churches we work with.

 

Cheryl will be meeting Monday afternoon with a group of possible volunteers to work with the moms at His Hands.  Developing this part of the ministry is Cheryl’s largest responsibility at this time.  This includes determining what material and methods they will use to teach them the Bible. Please pray that there will be a team of workers that will be committed to helping lead these women to Christ and disciple them.

 

We continue to wait on Sadie’s paperwork to be completed for her adoption.  We have not heard anything for several weeks.  Sadie turned one year old last week and she is almost walking.  We would like her forever parents to enjoy as many of these milestones and joys as possible.

 

Thank you for praying about the inspection at the Home of God’s Love.  The inspection went very well, although we won’t know if the home passed until late September.  We are still waiting on the permit to build the new building, so keep praying for the permit to arrive.  Thank you as well for praying for Bev this past week.  She is doing much better now.

 

Your prayers are a blessing to us.

 

God Bless,

 

John & Cheryl
