“The best praying man or woman is the man or woman who is most believingly familiar with the promises of God. After all, prayer is nothing but taking God’s promises to Him and saying, “Do as You have said.” Prayer is the promise utilized. Prayer not based on a promise has no true foundation.”
-Charles Spurgeon
Thank you for joining us in prayer today, equipped with the promises of God! Here's one of my favorite promises about prayer:
"14 This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him."
-1 John 5:14-15
God has made it clear that his desire and mission (his will) is to see disciples from every nation (or peoples), so we can go to the throne with confidence that He hears us as we pray for France.
- Pray for God to provide as we strive to reach 25% of our pledged monthly support we'll need in France by May.
- As we've mentioned previously, our friend David Lohnes, World Team missionary in France for over 25 years, is making a special trip to Memphis in a couple of weeks for 9 days to speak on our behalf and to share the need in France. Pray for opportunities that will make the most of his time here.
- Pray for the churches and missionaries in the towns of Meru and Gisors as they seek to use the "Alpha Course" to introduce the French to the gospel. It's about a 12-week study and they are finishing up the course in Meru and making preparations to begin the course in Gisors. Pray that God will open up their eyes to the good news of the gospel!
