I will give you back your health and heal your wounds,” says the Lord. Jeremiah 30:17 (NLT)
Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong; that hardy spirits and tough minds usually inhabit sound gods. ~ President John F. Kennedy “Sport at the New Frontier: The Soft American”. Sports Illustrated December 26, 1960

Operation World Pray for Turkmenistan : Hostility against almost any foreign Christian activity or even presence has persisted for over 20 years. Almost every foreign Christian has been expelled. Several national pastors have been exiled, beaten, heavily fined or imprisoned. The twenty or so registered congregations continue to be intimidated and forbidden to meet. Registration is a difficult, near-impossible process, and when it does occur, it only subjects the church to greater surveillance. Pray for a softening of the attitude of the authorities, for courage for Christians in Turkmenistan to stand firm and for Christians outside of the country to pray and speak up against these hostile actions.

I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. Palms 9:1 (NLT)
