Petition for Prayer Chain:
'More than conquerors through him.' May this be our prayer for our brothers and sisters suffering for the sake of Christ. Conquerors comes from a Greek word (nikao) that is the same word used for the Nike name-brand. Even if you are not going to sign up for to pray for an hour with the prayer chain, I encourage you to get in the habit of praying for those in bonds every time you see a Nike symbol.
For those of you desiring to sign up to pray on Sunday-Nov. 11, please note the
following ...
1) Great! Thanks!
2) Please email heidi.knobloch@gmail.com and let me know what hour you
would like to pray (we won't be legalistic about time zones, but I will use CST
which is Illinois time:)). Time slots will be available by hour starting at midnight
and going until midnight.
3) I will email you resources to help with praying more specifically and the prayer
chain schedule.
Looking forward to praying 'with' each of you! From previous years, people have
found this time beneficial not only for those being persecuted, but for themselves
as well. Puts it all in perspective I guess.
