Prayer Request: An Important Sunday!

Every Sunday is important, of course, but this coming Sunday is a big one!

Not only that, but – well, many of you know the feeling when the spiritual battle seems to be unusually close to the surface, and the challenges are mounting and you just know you need to pray more than ever? Well, here we are.

This Sunday, the 25th of March, is the 8th anniversary of the Path of Life Bible Church in Jesús María (Iglesia Bíblica Sendero de Vida Jesús María). Can you believe it? Exciting!

So we’ll be meeting in their still-under-construction sanctuary to celebrate.

So do pray for the church and their preparations for the big event (and yes, it will be a big event!). Pray for all the things you would pray for in your own church – unity in the Spirit, growth in the knowledge of God, a new love for one another and the Lord (Ephesians 4:1-7; Philippians 1:9-11).

This service will also be a baptism service for both churches. That means that this will be the first baptism service of the Path of Life Bible Church of Las Palmas (although we have baptized some in this church, but it was not at a service of the church. It was before we started officially meeting.)! As you might imagine, there is a lot of spiritual opposition when someone wants to declare their faith in the Lord publicly.

So please pray for every person who is preparing to be baptized, and for their family and their church. That God would work in each heart, and maybe even bring more to Himself through this service.

Maybe some of you would like to make this a daily item of prayer this week. We sure would appreciate it!

This verse was included in our invitation to the service, from Pastor Ismael in Jesús María:
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23
