Hopefully making theology simpler to understand! (2 Corinthians 1:12)

I also have family in the North/South Carolina area, having heard of loss of power and cell signal for days (power still out for a lot of people), and gas stations out of gas. The town my brother-in-law was married in in Georgia had many trees uprooted/knocked over.

Thankfully, everyone I know is alright, but they can’t do a lot of cooking at home either due to power constraints or having had to empty their fridges, so they are utilizing the restaurants that have power to get food. Naturally, this is costing extra money.

Let us pray for a quick recovery, wisdom and peace for those affected, and communities to work together well.

Our congregation did not have a VBS or other thing this summer, but we are about to launch a midweek children’s class.

We did see many churches offer VBS, and I personally met some people who had rarely or never been to church except to take their children to be with friends at VBS. It can be such a valuable resource. So many seeds do get planted.

I feel this one, too, as I am traveling overseas over the next few weeks for similar work. Pray for all encouraging and teaching, those who are receiving, and the people in their nations and communities.

This is a guest post by Mandy. She blogs here. I appreciate so much her prayers over the years. Check out her blog! Here’s the prayer:

Prayer for SlimJim’s Teaching Trip August 2024

The family may be a pastors first ministry, but we must also remember Jesus’ words:

And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life.”

Luke 18:29-30, ESV

May we pray for balance and faithfulness for our pastors.
