Welcome

Following the example of our friend and brother in Christ, Bob Hommel, a couple of us thought that it would be good to create this blog, where we could share inspirational thoughts and be edified and strengthened in our Lord Jesus Christ

The Bible says, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sins that easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith” Hebrews 12:1-2

We pray that this blog will bless you as a place where we fellowship together and are encouraged in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Reaching Your Own People

Scriptures:
"And pray for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the Gospel." (Ephesians 6:19)

Everyday, I look to the Lord in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to lead me when I pray, for missionaries around the world. One of the missionary groups that continually move my heart are the Gospel for Asia missionaries in India. The national missionaries I pray for are all young men all in their 20's, a few of them have young wives, who minister by preaching the gospel in two particular states; Karnataka (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnataka), which is a state in the southwest, and Bihar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bihar_%28India%29), which is in the northeast.

As I pray for these national missionaries, I am almost always moved to tears by the Holy Spirit because of their commitment to our Lord to sacrificially persevere in obedience desiring only to see their own people be won to Christ.

The URL link that follows is a simple 3 minute testimony of a true man of God who desired only
to serve the Lord. http://www.gfa.org/video-joseph I am sure it will move your heart too.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus thank you for your servants that are sacrificing all of their life to preach the gospel to everyone they see. Holy Spirit empower us to be more then just "life-style" Christians but give us opportunities and lead us to be bold to verbally present the gospel so that our families, friends, neighbors and co-workers will hear and accept you as their Lord and Savior.
