Pray for us.

It is pretty obvious that we are in the middle of a spiritual battle today.  We had planned a morning of prayer, devotion to get us to another level today as part of our individual spiritual growth and the growth of our ministry.  I asked Pastor Lutz who has become a kind of Father Confessor to us (and to me) to lead us through this time of seeking and preparing.  Not only that but we also came prepared to visit a home group to serve The Lord’s Supper.  This was a group that grew out of the outreach to kidnapped victims and their families. That will take us well into the evening hours tonight.

We arrive at the office this morning and first off, we find there is no water. A water main broke and is being repaired. I have no idea how long that will take.

Then Tere and her husband come in with boxes of materials we needed to distribute to some of the pastors who are coming for a class on Sanctification today at 2pm.  A man had come in earlier asking for Tere and looking for work and he met them as they were coming in and offered to help.  Tere put some boxes down and a case with her wallet and went for other boxes. When she came back no wallet and no helper!  She had just been to the bank!  Not too much was lost but the morning became about reporting to the bank and the administrative office here in the plaza, and cancelling her card, her electoral card, etc.

Then we got a phone call from one of our pastors….the one that leads our study class…..he is very, very ill with a severe bronchitis!

We now move into our time of confession and prayer and study and pleading before God.  Pray with us. Pray for us.  Pray us through the rest of this long day.

Jesus is victorious and with him we win too. That is all we need to know.
