AUGUST PRAYER LETTER

AUGUST PRAYER LETTER

Beginning a new month; prayers continue, needs increase, lostness in souls is ever more real and prevalent;
‘Come down Lord, come down, we need you so desperately today.’

FAMILY:
--my oldest, Hannah, starts college this month;

Praying that they make their witness sure and steadfast. I have seen so often instead of Christians pulling people to them to Christ, they allow for them to be pulled to sin. Praying that it be the former condition and not the latter for all my children. More and more trusting the promises of God for ‘my children’.
