I was watching a video clip of Jeff Singfiel, one of our CMA missionaries in Bosnia.  He was watching the garbageman pick up his trash and the thought occurred to him that no one has ever prayed for that man.  Then his mind began to think through the generations preceding this man and he wondered if anyone ever, in time immemorial, had ever prayed for this man and his generations of family.  Then he prayed.  Jeff said that he felt so privileged to possibly be the first believer ever to pray for this family.

It is men and women like Jeff that I feel privileged to support.  I can’t be there but I can support them through my giving and praying.

So I can’t help myself.  I have to put out one more reminder that this weekend we will be celebrating the mission funding that God is going to raise up through PAC in 2009.  In these last two days I trust you are confirming what God has spoken to you regarding your part in this.  Come prepared to hand in the tear-off section of the Faith Promise at the service you attend.  

Rick and Tammie Romano will be with us this weekend.  They are our missionaries in Ensanada, Mexico.  Wait until you hear his heart for the people he has chosen to live among.  You might add an extra “0″ to your Faith Promise after listening.

See you this weekend.
