Things To Pray For In January
Puritan Thomas Lye once prayed the following as he concluded his message ‘How Are We to Live by Faith?’, he prayed...
‘Lord God, you and you alone should be the sole object of our trust. May there be but one string to the bow of our faith: that is you, our Lord. May we not rest in anything other than you.’
May there be just one string to our bows of faith, what a wonderful picture that is, and may that string be the Lord, truly our only hope. So, here are some ways you can be praying for our global endeavours over the month of January...
Please pray for Bert & Karen Turner as they travel to Brazil, 15th January – 5th February. Please pray that they’ll be a blessing to all of the Pastors and Churches they’re visiting during their time – Igreja Cidade Cinco, Igreja Casa Vide, Igraja Horizonte, and Igreja Graca Soberana. Please also pray for Bert as he leads a retreat with a number of the Brazilian Pastors: 26th-29th January in Bela Horizonte.
Please pray for Joselo Mercado, our Key Leader to Latin America, as he visits Costa Rica 17th-23rd January, to visit with all four of our Churches in the country, as well as take the ordination service of Eduardo Sandoval on Sunday 18th January. A wonderfully joyful occasion!
Please pray for the Sovereign Grace Churches RELAY Conference, January 5th-7th in Glen Mills, PA. Over 500 young adults from our North American Sovereign Grace Churches will be attending this conference. Please pray that God meets with the next generation of Sovereign Grace in wonderful ways as they come together and that He does more than they could’ve ever asked or imagined.
Please pray for Solomon Chala, a graduate of the Trinity Fellowship Pastors College, as he spends three months with our candidate church in Liberia, followed by three months with our candidate church in Sierra Leone. Please pray for great favour and wisdom for Solomon, as we continue to discern the best way ahead for these dear churches that are eager to partner with us.
Please pray for Kyle Huber, our Key Leader into Belarus, as he teaches the Pastoral Ministry Program at the Minsk Seminary. The Seminary is keen to have Sovereign Grace influence their students, and so this program will involve online teaching several times a year along with an annual in-person retreat each year to include the students wives. Please pray for Kyle and everyone involved in this unique opportunity.
Please pray for Sovereign Grace Church, Wahroonga in Sydney, Australia, as we run our ‘Discover Series’ over the summer holidays (January-February). As we hit hard topics like ‘If God Exists, Then Why Bondi?’, please pray that many would hear the gospel, bring friends, and come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
… Thank you so much, may His grace abound to us all.
