Dear friends, our prayers continue to be with those who were terribly affected by the tsunami in Asia. As the death toll rises so should our prayers for families and relief workers.
PRAYER: God of all people, we lift our hearts together for the healing and comfort of those who lost loved ones. We pray especially for those children whose parents cannot be located and for parents who have lost children. Bless those there already working and those who are on the way. Let the brokenhearted find peace in You. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
Wednesday: Here’s our action for today. Reflect on the number of trips you have made on behalf of God. It could have been a mission trip or a youth trip. What was your experience like? What did it teach you about God and His love? What are your plans for this coming New Year in terms of a mission or service project trip? What would motivate you to leave your “comfort zone” to a place of risk and reward for God?
Those of us who belong to a church need not look far to find a situation or setting where we can serve. First Church is no exception. We offer so many mission opportunities that one can't help but find one where we can go and give of our time and love to help the less fortunate.
It's not too late to sign up for the Mozambique mission though there's lots going on already and you don't want to miss out on going on this trip. We can be doing other trips as well. It's just a matter of leaving our comfort zones to a place of risk and reward.
Have a great day in the Lord!
Blessings!
