Other News:
Do you ever get tired of praying for something? For someone? I have. In fact, on one occasion, I specifically remember thinking to myself, "These guys will never become Christians. I'm not praying for them anymore." Well, I praise God that someone had more faith than I did...and they kept praying. Both men are born-again believers today. Whatever it is - an unconverted person, a church situation, a work situation, or a hundred other different situations - please do NOT faint. Do NOT give up!! Persevere in prayer. Have faith. And then watch God work!
