“Devotion to prayer as individuals and as a group in this church: you realize that that is what is going to keep the lights on in this building, right? Not the moneybag that passes around here from week to week, not the great plans we’ve got for church planting and mission and expansion. None of that. What will keep this congregation moving forward and going from strength to strength is a single-minded, constant devotion to prayer. … A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. A prayerless mission is a powerless mission. A prayerless church is a powerless church.” Mez McConnell
“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.” Colossians 4:2-4
HOW YOU CAN PRAY:
- Please pray for me and for those laboring with 20schemes…especially that we ourselves would be constant in prayer. “…brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored…” (2 Thessalonians 3:1)
- The Lord has answered our prayers this past week in such marvelous ways. Let’s praise Him! He has made a way for my visa application to start moving forward so that there is very good hope I will be able to be in Scotland by November 1st. This is such an abundant answer to our prayers!
PICTURE FOR THIS WEEK:
Exciting news this week, folks! 20schemes let me know that I have been assigned as Ministry Intern with their church team in Merkinch, Inverness. To have a specific place and people that I am going to fills me with great joy.
Keep going to Jesus,
Claire
