Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

Be Encouraged by God's Word
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not all have obeyed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ.

— Romans 10:13-17, NRSV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on Earth.

— John Wesley

Pray Together with Us

O my God, grant that I may so wait upon you, that when quick decision and action are needed I may mount up with wings as an eagle; and when under direction of your will and the needs of people I have to keep going under pressure, I may run and not be weary; and in times of routine and humble duty, I may walk and not faint. For all my fresh springs are in you, O God of my strength.

— George Appleton (1902-1993)
