Fwd: Sowing Seeds Ministry Prayer Needs from around the world -- April 23, 2001
Posted by: masinick <masinick@...>
Church in Lynchburg, Va. has been offline the past week because his father
died. I had known that his father was not feeling well, but I did not realize
that there had been a death in the family until I received this message.
Because Larry is my friend, and because we recognize the importance and value
of prayer, would you please first pray for Larry and his family, and then help
out by sharing in prayers with some of the people on this prayer list?
I think it is very important to lift one another up when we face adversity.
When we do so, I believe that we begin to appreciate the great love of God the
Father.
With that in mind, will you please take some extra time and join with me in
prayer? Please also note that next week on Thursday, May 4, our nation
recognizes the National Day of Prayer. Check out
http://www.nationaldayofprayer.org/ for information, and consider participating
in your local community, or at least get a copy of the prayer suggestions from
the Web site.
Thank you for taking the extra time to pray.
