Praying for One Another

On the first Saturday of October, 18 men met on the campus of Columbia International University for a day of prayer. Our hearts were challenged by God's Word and refreshed as we worshiped Him, prayed to Him, and were blessed by a rich fellowship with each other. There is a certain power, a certain kind of blessing, when men pray to God and pray for each other. This passage of Scripture is one of many verses in the Bible that speak of this wonderful act:

3 I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day, 4 longing to see you, even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy. 2 Timothy 1:3-4 (NASB95)

As a result of this prayer retreat, we are seeking to keep the momentum of prayer by asking men who have a heart for spiritual growth to meet with us on the first Sunday of each month from 5:30pm to 6:30pm at Church at Sandhurst. We hope you can join us during this important hour. If you have any questions, please email me.

Speaking of praying for one another, please keep my friend (and a friend to many of you too) Jamie Grimsley in your prayers. Click on his blog--it will be an encouragement to you, and as you are encouraged, I'm sure he would love to hear from you. His link is http://www.jamiegrimsley.com/

Longing to spend time at His Throne. Hope to greet you there too!
