Verse of the Day: 1st Timothy 2:1-5 First of all then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God, our Savior, who desires all men, meaning all people, all mankind, to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there's one God and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus or Messiah Jesus, who gave himself, Yeshua, Jesus, gave himself as a ransom for all the testimony given at the proper time.

Prayer

Pray for Lynn and Joel for grace and open doors as they minister in various capacities.
