Today I am at home. I will worship at Park Plaza. I anticipate sharing the unique and special fellowship that exists when one is at home.
So far this year, I worshiped on Sunday with 25 different congregations of God’s Family in eight countries. Six of the congregations were English-speaking, most of the time I have worshiped in Spanish.
This morning I am contemplating the marvelous work God is doing in this world among his people. In the last three months, I have spent time with members from dozens of congregations. Some are large, some are small. Some are tremendously evangelistic and growing spectacularly by God’s power; others are struggling to find God’s way in the midst of almost overwhelming challenges. Almost all have an intense love for and interest in missions. Some appear healthy but are really stagnant evangelistically; others face great problems but continue to share the word because that is who they are.
All have one thing in common–they request and covet prayers from their brothers and sisters. They send greetings and love and seek the support the great multitude of believers around the world. Today I am praying for God’s great spiritual family around the world, thinking of special people, places, and congregations. Will you join me?
