Prayer – Apprentice 2 Jesus

Pentecost Sunday

Almighty God, on this day, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, you revealed the way of eternal life to every race and nation: Pour out this gift anew, that by the preaching of the Gospel your salvation may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reignsContinue reading “Pentecost Sunday”

Lament for a broken society

Another mass shooting. Another round of hand ringing. No more solutions. There are the empty promises. A governor who swears they are doing more for “mental health”… without offering any proof.

My current intercession

I have been challenged to ask boldly in prayer. This is my current intercession:

Deep groaning needs to happen

Another weekend, another shooting. A teen party in a small town in Alabama. Four dead. Louisville. Nashville. It’s exhausting. I know we get tired of hearing “thoughts and prayers.” I get tired because I know people are now saying it… and not even doing it for the victims.

One of the shock factors I still face in my own life is culturalized Christians in America who see no need to go anywhere else in the world and think if “those people” don’t someContinue reading “A prayer for mission”
