TODAY’s PRAYER REQUEST FOR SCHOOLS
Today, let’s pray for students with IEP’s as well as teachers and classmates of those stude students.
ONLINE SERVICES FROM FBC, KENTWOOD
Periodically, I have trouble with the online services. They seem to hesitate and then continue. I won’t try to explain the reason for this because I am not an expert on this subject. I will just tell you, I turn the service off and try to watch the next day. This seems to work for me. I was unable to watch Sunday night or Wednesday night. I will try watching again today.
Don’t forget to pray for the children of our church as they leave for camp tomorrow. It may be even more important to pray for the parents who are sending their children off to camp for the first time.
BAPTIST PRESS
RICHMOND, Va. (BP) – The International Mission Board stands in stark contrast to current trends in global missions. A recent Christian Post article cited only 3 percent of mission work goes to reach the unreached, while in 2021, the IMB sought to focus 81.2 percent of missionary team efforts among unreached people groups (UPG). Additionally, 90.8 percent of all IMB teams were focused on at least one UPG, said Wilson Geisler the IMB’s director of global research.
This article is of special interest to me. I hope you are encouraged when you read how the IMB strives to reach the UPG’s (Unreached People Groups). This brings Matthew 28: 19-20 to my mind.
Prayer are the answer to so many of our daily needs. Let’s not forget that!
