HOSPITALITY IN 2015                                                                  

Hospitality is about saying yes.
Hospitality is about honesty.

Hospitality is not about perfection.
Hospitality is not about fancy food and linens.

A new year for us all and I am thinking about hospitality in 2015. Life can be so busy; it can be easy to miss out on opportunities to demonstrate hospitality. I worry to much about how the house looks, do I have enough bread to even make a piece of toast for breakfast? Is the grass mowed? Windows clean?  But let’s not miss those chances.

My prayer is that I will be one who flings my door open wide and invites others in, no matter the condition of my home or craziness of life.  Because YOU matter more than my floors and I am blessed by God with a home to share! 

 REMEMBER OUR MISSIONARIES

"For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor with a shield." Psalm 5:12

Continue to pray for the people in Tacloban, Philippines where our sister Evangeline St. Clair Byrnes was born and serves as our missionary to that area. Evangeline plans to return to Tacloban in February. Please pray for funding and building projects. There is still so much to be done to restore their homes, churches and businesses after the typhoon and floods.




Our missionary Junio Souza has moved his family from Nepal to Thailand and is asking us to pray for his daughter who is having trouble adjusting. Also for the Lord to continue to provide for their new ministry in Thailand as well as in Nepal.






OUR PASTORS in GUINEA BISSAU continue to need SPECIAL PRAYER COVERING! Guinea Bissau borders Guinea, Liberia & Sierra Leone where the EBOLA VIRUS outbreak is still critical.
Pray also for the radio tower to be restored quickly so that the news of Jesus Christ will continue to spread throughout Guinea Bissau and all of Africa.





As the UKRAINE continues to crumble, let's lift up our brothers and sisters in Christ who are standing strong in their faith! Pray for our missionaries Jim & Annie Leonovich who are standing in the gap and planning their next mission visit.
