Prayer Chain

Ecc. 4:9, 10 -"Two are better than one. ...For if they fall, one will lift up his

 

companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up." 

                                        

  

SHARING THE GOOD NEWS

 

In the past few weeks, the book “The Hiding Place” by Corrie ten Boom has been featured in our outstanding church library. During the 1930s Corrie and her family joined the Dutch resistanceand helped Jews elude capture in Holland where Nazi hatred toward Jews increased. Although they hid in a secret room in their shop, they were found and sent to a concentration camp. Her faith sustained her and she later said, “No pit is so deep that the love of God is not deeper still.” She wrote several other books and one is a daily devotional. One day’smessage, ‘ You Are Loved’is for EVERYONE - Prayer Chain, Outreach, every member who believes ‘people must know.’

 

She writes: ‘In heaven you will see how the Lord has used that testimony, that word of comfort you gave today. God’s word never returns void.
When you enter the beautiful city,
And the saved all around you appear,
What joy when someone will tell you,
“It was you who invited me here.”
Lord, we like to see results from our labor, but it is not necessary that we do. We trust You to complete the work You are doing in and through us. ‘

 

Everyone is reminded that our Prayer Chain invites you to contact any prayer chain member with aspecific request, or thanks - to be shared with the prayer chain circle.
“ Ecc. 4: 9,10 - Two are better than one.. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up.”

 

(PRAY WITHOUT CEASING)

 

Prayers are shared by email with all members of the chain immediately upon receiving a request. Members do not delete or add anything to the request. Members are bound to keep the request confidential, among prayer chain members only. When receiving a

request, the person is asked if Pastor Engler knows or if they would like him to know.

 

“And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us.” John 5:14

 

We encourage everyone to establish a set time and place each day for Bible reading and prayer. As Pastor Engler suggests, take your church bulletin home and re-read the scripture readings and hymns that have been selected for that particular time and season.
We who participate in the prayer chain feel a benefit in sharing others’ burdens and joys, trusting that “When two or three come together in my name, there I am with them. “(Matt.18:20)
