The Payoff

Ok, I have lured you in. Now, for the payoff...but wait, you see I have tried to create a place that could be informative, humorous and hopefully, inspiring. My hope is that missionary work could be kept in the forefront of people's minds. But, there is something in it for me, if you will just send $19.95 I will send you a special prayer cloth and anointing oil....No, no, no!!!! just kidding. What's in it for us? Well Paul said:

• 1Th 5:25 Brethren, pray for us.
• 2Th 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
• Heb 13:18 Pray for us

I remember reading a portion about this where the writer said Paul's secret of success was in part due to the fact he was able to focus so many prayers on his ministry. I am trying to follow in his footsteps. To this end, I include our specific prayer requests. Maybe you could print it out and bring it before the Lord in prayer. I remember once, as I went to assume the pastorate of a particular church, we could sense the people in other places praying for us. We are not ashamed to admit our desperate need of God's help and the prayers of God's people.

Thank you for your prayers!

Please pray…
