The Worship Center, Lancaster PA

Tags : 

Dear Father,

Thank you for the heart of the Worship Center of Lancaster for people’s personal struggles. A representative of the church shared with me how they are focusing on helping people live debt free lives and to enjoy financial stability. I pray their teaching will enable people to not only have such personal experience but that the freedoms they have from financial anxiety enables them to invest more of their time in the needs of others.

Please do wonderful things at the Worship Center.

Dear Father,

Thank you for the work Bethany Presbyterian Church of Oxford is doing down in the lovely countryside of southeastern Pennsylvania.

I pray your blessings on the representative of the church who spoke with me.  Whatever are her concerns in life today, I ask you to minister to them.  She asked that the church grows and that the outreach of the church is what You have in mind.  Lord, I’m seeing a trend – churches are itching to reach out into their communities.  Keep doing your work.

Willow Street Mennonite Church, Lancaster PA

Dear Father,

Oh, you are a good God. What a joy it is to call up churches and to ask them for prayer requests. By your providence I called up Willow Street Mennonite Church and was blessed to speak with Pastor Joe for a few minutes. What a kind man who clearly loves you, reminding me that your “arm is not too short”. I like that! It sounds like a future blog article.

Joe expressed thankfulness for the good things happening at the church. He gives credit to you. He thanks you for the congregational unity and the steady stream of new people coming to the church. He expresses thanks for the soon-to-be-completed building program as the 305 year-old church will shortly move into a new sanctuary.

Dear Father,

It was a pleasure to speak with a representative of First Baptist Church today.  She specifically asked for the safety of the group traveling to Maryland this weekend for the Junior High retreat.  I pray that you will give them traveling mercies and that at least one life is transformed this weekend, discovering you in a deep and life changing way.

Dear Father,

What a pleasure to speak with Assistant Pastor Nathaniel Knoll of River of Life Church in Doylestown, PA!  He has asked for two prayer requests.  First, that his youngest brother and his wife experience a normal pregnancy and that a healthy child is born.  I pray that child will grow up to know deeply not only your love but the importance of loving others in need.  Second, Nathaniel asked for wisdom and direction as the church considers expanding to two services in 2015.  Fill those seats, Lord, with people who long to love the hurting in Doylestown.
