Wednesday

To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure.

In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.

Titus 1:15

Prayer Focus for Today

Today, let’s pray for the children as many of the boxes have already been distributed. Many of the older children now have special “Sunday school type” classes offered to them and Bibles in their own language. At the end of the series of classes, the children have the opportunity to choose to receive Jesus. Their families have an average of eight other people to also choose Jesus. What an impact the boxes can make!

Tonight at FBC, Kentwood

  • Prayer meeting
  • Youth class
  • Children’s classes
