Church Family,
Imagine what God would do if we prayed for our neighbors – by name. These past few Sundays, you have heard about a new initiative, Bless Every Home, our church is undertaking where we can be in united prayer for our neighbors.
Why pray for neighbors? According to the organization Pray for Every Home, in a typical community–with 100 average neighbors—here’s reality:
- 7 struggle with depression and thoughts of suicide
- 7 more abuse or are addicted to drugs or alcohol
- 14 are crippled with fear and anxiety
- 60 don’t know Jesus Christ as Savior
My challenge to you is to get involved! Sign up to be a “Light” in your neighborhood. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in darkness but have the light of life.”
The Lord planted our church where we are to help our neighbors discover the light of life. So, we are asking each member of our church to consider becoming a Light to their neighbors and living intentional pray-care-share lifestyles.
Becoming a Light is free and confidential. You’ll receive a map and list of your closest neighbors, along with emails at the frequency of your choice to pray for your next five neighbors that day. When you get a chance, walk or drive by those homes as you pray for them.
To learn more about this opportunity visit the following link and watch the brief informational video: https://blesseveryhome.com/light/?cust=12106
When you are ready to get started, you can sign up on the bottom of that page. Or, if you need help, call up to the office and we can help you sign up.
E.M. Bounds said, “God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil.”
Let’s pray for our neighbors. Eternity is at stake!
In Him,
Pastor Zach
