Family - 8th June 2006
From the minute we arrived to the day we left there was a strong open loving bond between them and us. We do indeed all belong to one great big everlasting family, which stretches worldwide and across the generations of ages past and ages to come.
It is always special to meet Christians in another country who don’t speak your lingo because even with all the communication difficulties there is still a bond that defies description, it is our kinship in Christ.
I find it encouraging to stop and realise just how magnificent this family is. On a Sunday, I sometimes ponder the fact that probably for the continuous 24hour period there is always a group of Christians praising God somewhere.
All over the world you have brothers and sisters who don’t know you but have maybe prayed for you today!
“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love” Romans 12:10
Pastor Bonga’s church and Casa Re’om really value their link with us and I know that they pray for us. Today let’s pray for them.
Pray for Pastor Bonga in his leadership, for strength and wisdom. Pray for his health and his family. Pray, too for the staff and the boys, for the building project and for everyone they reach out to with the love of Jesus. Why not visit their web site ( www.casa-reom.org.uk) and be informed in your prayers?
A prayer for our brothers and sisters in Beira:
We pray that God will fill them with the knowledge of his will through all wisdom and understanding, so that they may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that they may have great endurance and patience, joyfully giving thanks to the father who has qualified them (and us) to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. Amen
