"Opportunity comes to pass, not to pause."
Answers to Prayer
There is great comfort in reading in Luke that Jesus needed rest with His Father. According to John, our best rest will come at a time when the world is in great turmoil. Thank You for the rest with You we can enjoy now. Thank You for the rest we shall one day begin.
Pastor Tony N?ɬ??ɬ±ez expresses his thanks for your prayers as he presented his paper last week in Oxford. On the one hand, almost everything that could have gone wrong did. On the other hand, God is still sovereign, and the message was delivered. The Nú?ɬ±ez family is now together in Europe. Their plans will take them through France and Spain before returning home. Continue to pray.

I inadvertently overlooked this request last week from Ray and Donna Banks (I'm waving the flag). Would you make this a priority, especially on Tuesday?

Pam and Keith would appreciate your prayers for guidance."
