Today's reading from the Chronological Reading Plan: Acts 4-6 Many of you have heard about the devastating typhoon that hit the Philippines last week . The death toll has topped 3,600. We are finalizing which organization that we can donate to.  Please pray and stay tuned for information on how we will be helping those affected.

International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church

It's so easy for the American church to take for granted the freedom we have to gather for corporate worship, read our Bibles, and practice our Christian faith.  But there are believers around the world that risk banishment, beatings, imprisonment and death to follow Christ and spread the Gospel.  So today, we joined with churches across the nation in lifting up the persecuted through unified prayer.  Please continue to pray that the Lord enables our persecuted brothers and sisters to stand strong.  Please pray that God would work mightily through their sufferings. Watch this video and see how our prayers can strengthen believers and expand God's kingdom into the most unreached places.                            (Click here if you can't see the video) " Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name."  1 Peter 4:16 (ESV)
