Dear NEO family,
AWAKENING 2013 is happening and
our weekend of special services is only a few days away. Thanks to all of you
who have joined in praying and fasting, anticipating and expecting a fresh
movement of God in our lives and churches!
I had a call last week from one
of our pastors telling me of a breakthrough in his personal walk. He was
confident this area of fresh obedience was related to our time of prayer and
fasting as a District family. I am sure there are numerous testimonies like
this to be shared.
I read today this quote from Mark
Batterson, lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, D.C.:
I feel like prayer is the
difference between the best you can do and the best God can do.
So if we’re not praying, then the
best we can do is the best we can do, and that’s not good enough. When we get
on our knees, the Holy Spirit does the heavy lifting. Prayer creates the
culture and gives people a heart for evangelism, because when you get into
God’s presence, you start to get His heartbeat.
That’s been the game-changer for
us this year.
Let’s continue to pray. This
week, I hope you will intercede for our workers – Dan Bohi, Marci Marquis and
the worship team, Kyle Tyler and the Children’s ministry team. And pray for God
to search your heart and show you anything that makes Him sad. If God’s people
will humble themselves, pray, seek His face and turn from our evil ways, times
of refreshing and revival are on the way!
Pastor Todd and the Central youth
team are preparing dinner on Friday evening, beginning at 5:45pm (Ham,
Scalloped Potatoes, Fried Apples, Biscuits, Chocolate Sheath Cake, Tea, Water,
Lemonade) and on Saturday, beginning at 4:45pm (Ham & Beans, Cornbread,
Salad, Apple Crisp & Ice Cream, Tea, Water, Lemonade). Cost is only $5
per person. It would help us, but is not mandatory, if we have some estimate of
how many plan to attend the meals.
Anticipating AWAKENING,
Dave
