As we enter the month of December, it is timely that we all start around the Lord’s Table. Before food, parties and activities drown us all, we need to check our anchor and make sure it is grounded in Christ. Just in case our anchor breaks, it is wonderful to know that Christ is stronger than our anchor! Let us make a conscious and free choice to make this season a time of drawing near to God through prayer. Join us for our Dawn prayer meetings starting December 21-25 at 5am to 6am. Though this has been a Christmas tradition in our church from way back 1997, let us prayerfully savor it’s freshness by acknowledging the presence of God!
Let us remember in prayer the family of those brethren from the Victory Chapel fellowship who died in a vehicular accident on their way to attending a Thanksgiving service. As a community, we grieve with them and will be open to any possibilities of ministering God’s comfort upon them. As you read these items, please pause and pray for God’s comfort on them. Our weekly feeding of the children of our Moslem friends in Barangay 76 is ongoing every Thursday. Thanks for the leadership of Pastor Bobby and Pastor Leones and other volunteers. Please pray for them and for Jethro Adang and Omega and their kids who are doing community work in Myanmar. Let us remember in prayer the ministry of the Samaritan’s Purse, a ministry of compassion for the kids in Mindanao. Pray for God’s strength and joy as the team meets and trains for the distribution of gifts next year.
Prayer is indeed the expression of the helpless and prayer is the language of our church. Make this month a month of Prayer . . . a time to draw near to God; a time to listen to His voice and a time to obey His will. We cannot and must not do these alone . . . we need God . . . we need each other. We do not move solo . . . we move together; we move by His grace for His glory!
