Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

August 7, 2019

Be Encouraged by God's Word
Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?

— Mark 8:34-36, NIV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instrument afterwards. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him.

- Hudson Taylor

Pray Together with Us

Come Holy Spirit, I need You.
Come, sweet Spirit, I pray.
Come in your strength and your power.
Come in your own gentle way.

— Israel Houghton
