We ask you, Lord, to open greater and greater opportunities for Your Gospel to flow freely across our country.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 (NIV)
“To the American People: Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Savior and over us will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world. President Calvin Coolidge Presidential Message December 25, 1927
“We read that ‘Each of us has been given his gift, his portion of Christ’s bounty.’ Well, let us share our bounty this Christmas season. Let us offer not only our hearts and prayers but a generous hand to those who need our help. And as we light this tree, let us brighten the lives of those here at home and around the world whose Christmas may not be as glowing and as cheerful as ours.” President Ronald Reagan December 16, 1982 Remarks On Lighting The National Community Christmas Tree
Operation World Pray for Zimbabwe : The exodus of literally countless millions from Zimbabwe to neighbouring African nations and beyond. This “brain drain” includes much of academia, the business community, opposition politicians and spiritual leaders. Their emigration, even temporary, is a serious loss to Zimbabwe. Pray for the swift and safe return and reconciliation of these people to help rebuild a nation on its knees. Pray for strength of community among the Zimbabwean Church in diaspora, currently dissipated, and for unity befitting their role in reconstruction.
You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!” Luke 1:31-33 (NLT)
