I
have begun a season of prayer. Prayer for me personally for I want to
draw closer to God. Closer than I have ever been before. The
incredible part is that I can do that and God wants that too.
2
Chronicles 16:9 tells me that, “The eyes of the LORD range
throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts fully committed
to Him.”
I
am also looking for a group of people – prayer warriors – who
will pray for me in this venture and who will join me in praying
daily for the LebNaz Church and our leaders. Leading is a risky
business. Pray that they will be protected from the evil one and that
they too may draw close to God that we might lead the church well.
Our mission is simple; to make Christ-like disciples. The process is
simple…
1)
Help people KNOW GOD: Follow Him, be like Him, walk in His
ways,
love Him. We do this each week as we GATHER for Worship. 2) Help
people FIND FREEDOM:
Connect
with God and connect with others. Here we help people find a small
group where they can GROW.
3)
DISCOVER PURPOSE: Here we discover how God has gifted us, how He has
created us, how we can fulfill His purpose for our lives.
4)
PLAY A ROLE – MAKE A DIFFERENCE: We do
this
by finding our place of service. We serve others in the church and
those outside of the church.
We
are in the Season of Lent. Lent is a season of preparation before
Easter. A 40-day period of prayer, repentance, and preparation
beginning on Ash Wednesday and leading up to Easter which is called
Pascha (Greek, Latin) RESURRECTION SUNDAY!!!
April
12 we will be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead
after His crucifixion where He paid the price for MY SINS. Now,
because He died and rose again, I am set free and cleansed from all
my sins!!! Whooooohoooo! In these next few weeks I will be praying
for the hearts of those who need to know Jesus, His forgiveness and
for those who are by faith a part of His family but not attending a
church. That you and I would join together to pray boldly and then GO
and ASK them to join us for a GREAT EASTER SUNDAY CELEBRATION.
