Tuesday

 

“For God is not unjust;

He will not forget your work

and the love you showed for His name

when you served the saints–

and you continue to serve them.”

~Hebrews 6:10, HCSB~

* Praise God that a 69-year-old woman in China, fascinated as a teenager by a people group featured in a film, just completed training in reaching the unengaged and spent her first 100 days in their village–and 53 members of that people group received Christ as their Savior!

* Pray for teams of local believers in East Asia who are venturing out, most for their first time, in obedience to God’s call to take the Gospel to unreached people groups within their own country.

* Praise the Lord that in recent weeks, there has been evidence of revival among the nursing students at Bangalore Baptist Hospital in India!

* Please pray for those in the state of Gujarat, India, who have been working for some time to produce accurate, understandable translations of Scripture in the Gujarati language so they can be used in evangelism and discipleship and be made available for all believers.

Devotional, Scripture, and a Song

  • “Example that Encourages” –  http://odb.org/?tz=-05
  • I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet . . . . I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.                       ~John 13:14-15~
  • Think back to your childhood kids’ choir.  Do you remember “Be Ye Doers of the Word”?

Remember Operation Christmas Child and shoeboxes that will go to needy children around the world.  Have you made some purchases this month?

Devotional, Scripture, and a Song

Operation Christmas Child

  • “A 4-year-old named Jeremiah received a shoebox gift at a distribution in India. In the box he received a shirt, balloons, flip flops, crayons, and toys. This gift was extra special to Jeremiah as it was his birthday. Without the box, he would not have received any gifts on his birthday as his family could not afford them. Praise God to those who give these special gifts to children!”                                                                                                                                         ~ OCC Volunteer in India~
  • “This year we visited remote villages in Lithuania. I should admit that I have never seen such poverty yet so much joy and thankfulness. One boy received the shoebox and was standing amazed – he couldn’t believe that the whole box was for him! We told him to believe and encouraged him to trust the Lord Jesus whose Love is so big, much bigger than the shoebox. The boy smiled and hugged the shoebox. It was so nice that our kids were together with us in this mission of love. When they came home their impressions turned into praises to the Lord for His goodness and love.”                                                                                                ~ OCC Volunteer~
  • “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”                                                                ~Joshua 1:9 (NKJV)~
  • “The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us.”                                                                                        ~Billy Graham~

You can have a positive impact or a negative impact on each person you meet today.  Which will it be?
