Dear fellow sojourners,
Who do you know
who needs to be rescued by the Lord Jesus, like Paul was, and receive the
forgiveness of their sins? What are their names? The Lord has sent us (all of
us) to help open their eyes to the beautiful new life in Christ! Bringing
people to faith in Christ, starts with sincerely caring for others. Let’s ask
the Lord to give us His compassion for those in darkness as we used to be. Remember where you came from!
Atlanta House
Church
Our church has
been reading Ephesians together. Paul reminded them, “Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins.
You used to live in sin, just like
the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the
unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to
obey God. All of us used to live that way,
following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our
very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.” (2:1-3) Remembering
our past life helps us be humble,
thankful, and empathize with unbelievers. Our church is remembering so that we care for others!
Regional Leadership Meeting I
went to Columbia, SC a few weeks ago to join my fellow church leaders. We
shared what God is doing in our churches, families, and personal challenges.
Then we prayed for one another’s specific needs. We also discussed “The
Disciple Making Process” we use in our respective churches. Pictured here with
me is our long-time friend and fellow pastor, Robbie McAlister from South
Carolina.
Prayer Requests
1. Atlanta Church Pray for Ace, our lifeguard, to
come to know Christ. He is reading Secure In An Insecure World and is coming
over for dinner this Friday. Pray for our church members to remember our past so that Christ’s compassion will motivate us
to build relationships & rescue unbelievers here in Atlanta.
2. Regional
Need Pray for God’s wisdom and
grace for Danelle and I to help a church in our region that is having some
problems. We have been asked to come
alongside to meet the needs.
3. Alice
Nelson Pray for my mother’s eye
to heal. She has lost sight in one eye and is receiving injections to promote the healing.
Thank
you for being our partners in the rescue,
Steve &
Danelle
