“Are we willing to be in the trenches of trauma? Are we ready to persevere and love the unlovable, those battling mental anguish with painful pasts?
Let’s trust and believe Christ can redeem the broken. We know He loves to because we are broken too. Lord, let our churches be hospitals for the mentally sick that You may be glorified and Your power put on display. Please let us love people as You loved them, for You loved us unto death.”
– Fontaine Selway (Fonz is a 20schemes women’s worker in Gracemount. You can read her full article here, and you can learn more about Gracemount here.)
WAYS YOU CAN PRAY:
- Sol Fenne and the others involved in 20schemes Music are currently working on an album which will be called Hymns in Hard Places. Let’s pray that the Lord would help them in the making of this music and that these hymns would be used in mighty ways across the schemes of Scotland.
- Covid-19 has affected so many things this year including 20schemes’ funding. 20schemes relies 100% on donor support and is dependent, now as in every season, on the Lord’s gracious provision. Would you join me in praying for them?
- Would you pray also for me this week? I have 31 days until I will know whether I will be able to serve with 20schemes this year or not (because of my financial needs…I currently need about $15,000 before August 1st if I will able to go this October). Would you pray that the Lord would abundantly provide the remaining amount? And would you pray that I would trust His goodness and wisdom whether I am able to go this year or not? His will be done!
PICTURE FOR THIS WEEK:
This is Sol Fenne!
Sol, his wife Carlie, and their kids live and serve in Gracemount. Sol is an elder at Gracemount Community Church where Andy Prime is pastor.
Sol is also the Director of 20schemes Music. He writes music, plays music, records music, tours music, speaks at conferences, and delights in helping the 20schemes churches sing truths about the Lord. To find out more about what the purpose of 20schemes Music is, click here.
Would you join me in praying for Sol, his family, his ministry in Gracemount, and his work with 20schemes Music?
I’ll leave you now with one of my favorite 20schemes songs – written by Sol Fenne. 🙂
Praise His name, that my life is found in Him,
Claire
P.S. Thank you, thank you for praying for me week in and week out. It is such a deep encouragement to know you are faithfully praying!!
Also, If you know of anyone who would be interested in receiving these weekly posts or of learning about God’s mighty work in the schemes of Scotland, please feel free to pass on any links in my website. I’m praying not only for provision for myself to serve with 20schemes, but also that many more people would join this work themselves – through prayer and through going!
