I have been talking about prayer a lot this week. You might know Sarah Dotson’s, a former member of FBCOH and friend, cancer has metastasized. At this time (Thursday), the complete test results are not known but they do know the cancer has spread to her lungs. Our church family has a rich history in praying healing prayers. When I was a young girl, Johnny Galas had a catastrophic car wreck where he died and was resuscitated. His prognosis was bleak but we gathered at the church alter and prayed for healing. His recovery was astounding and I believe it was the power of God’s people praying with boldness. I ask for us, as God’s people, to go before His throne again with confidence, boldness and expectancy to petition God for His healing for Sarah. Do not fall into the temptation of praying with doubt in your heart but pray with faith. Get Ready, Get Set…GO…. We have officially begun! We had about 30 children attended the first night back of our Wednesday night program. We have a good group of kids and a wonderful group of teachers. This session we are going to dig deep into the word of God and really in-still in the children the character of God and how to fol-low Him. The older kids will learn Bible skills as they search scriptures and they will be recognized for scripture memorization. We ask for your prayers for our children’s hearts and minds to be open to the word we bring them. Pray for their salvation and spiritual growth. Pray for our ability to clearly present the lessons. Pray for their lives at home and school. Pray for the decisions they make when presented with difficult choices. Pray for the leaders and teachers to keep the goal in mind and for Satan to stay out. – Angela Estes, Children’s Ministry Director – |
