Reflections- "This is the confidence we have in approaching God:  that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us." - 1 John 5:14

 

PASTOR TO PERSON

 

Urgent prayers are needed for two of the missions we support.  The Indian government is once again intensely persecuting the staff of Central India Christian Mission, including Dr. Ajai Lall and his family.  They report that the persecution is as severe as it ever has been.  Also, I received a message from John Murphy, missionary with Odessa Mission and Love for Ukrainians Mission. Because of persecution of Christians in Ukraine, a rehab mission in Odessa has been forced to close its doors and an entire congregation is leaving the city of Odessa.

 

Please join me in praying for these two missions, the physical safety and well-being of all those being persecuted and the strengthening of their faith.

P.S.- Sunday we conclude our series on Conversations with Jesus by looking at the conversation that Saul of Tarsus had with the risen Christ on the road to Damascus.  That conversation led to the conversion of Saul.  We know him as the apostle Paul.  We will see, by looking at Paul's life, the difference that Jesus does make in each and every one of our lives.  I look forward to worshiping with you and sharing this message with you.
