Other News:
Recently, I was in a discussion about racial prejudice. The part that sticks out in my mind went something like this... "What is the color of love?" "Well, God is love." "Then, what is the color of God?" "I don't know. I don't think God is a color." "Well, I think that God and love are every color"Maybe, they were meaningless words, but I left the conversation singing in my head the Sunday School song "Jesus Loves the Little Children" ...all the children of the world, red and yellow, black and white... Later, thinking of how love is for every people group, I realized how little I purpose in my heart to pray in love for the unreached people groups. I try to pray in faith, but how often in love? After all, "...the greatest of these is charity." Faith will turn to sight and hope will turn to experience, but our prayers in love for our future brothers and sisters in Somalia or any unsaved person will never pass away. Look at the picture, read the prayer requests, and, most of all, love our God--- can't you already feel the love for every color/people group welling up inside your heart?
Last year, the To the Ends of the Earth list had a prayer chain for the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted church. We would like to do it again this year on Sunday, November 12. Please email me (heidi.knobloch@gmail.com) and we'll coordinate it all. Thanks for being willing!
