Featured Church/Mission: Free Grace Presbyterian Mission, Lewiston, ME (Pastor Per Almquist)
1. Pray for Lewiston-Auburn and all of central Maine. Pray for the Holy Spirit to be moving in a mighty way, calling many to his name. Pray that the church in the area would stand faithful, proclaiming boldly, clearly, and graciously the gospel of Jesus Christ.
2. Pray that those who have been exploring what Free Grace is all about would be drawn to committing to the church. Pray for God to draw others to us for his glory. Pray for those who are coming to hear God's call to them to seek his kingdom first trusting that all else will be added.
3. Rejoice that Jordan's Bridge Christian Counseling is now open and seeing clients. Pray that Ken, our director of counseling, would be able to meet those in the community who know people seeking counseling. Pray that God would draw to Jordan's Bridge the clients he has prepared for Ken.
4. Give thanks for God's provision of a part-time job for Linda to supplement her work for the church. This is an answer to prayer and an encouragement as several others at Free Grace are need of seeing God's providential care in their own lives.
5. Pray that we would rest in the joy of being loved by God. That we would not struggle to earn his love or anything of this earth (including a new church) but find our peace and hope in our triune God whose steadfast love endures forever.
