intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

For kings, and for all that are in authority;

that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

Who will have all men to be saved,

and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Bedouin tent inspires prayer
Visitors to the SBC exhibit hall found a tent at the IMB site. Inside were five locations of challenge and opportunities for prayer. And a chance to make a Great Commission commitment.

Pray that those who put a nail in the cross will remember their commitment and follow through with sharing the Gospel.

Experience a virtual walkthrough of the prayer tent.

Missionaries tackle God-size task in dangerous slums of Caracas

Only 1 percent of the 5 million people of Caracas, Venezuela, are evangelical Christian. Many of the spiritually lost live in the city’s barrios(slums), among the most dangerous in the world. The narrow streets are plagued with constant crime, substance abuse and gang violence. But Ed and Pam Engle say ministering to these people is worth it.

 

Last night, at prayer meeting, James Rimes led us last night to be better encouragers.  Who would God have you encourage today?
