To our intercessors all over the world . . .
Thank you so very much for praying for NATIONStrategy and Ed Delph. We couldn?t do this ministry without you! Please let us know if you have prayer requests also.
1. Please pray for us as we start a new church called Church@Community. A significant number of our old church leaders and friends have a come to us wanting to start a church. We are starting the church (officially) on Sunday, October 3. This church is a church designed for the community. We call it . . . ?Don?t just build a church . . . build a community!? It?s a church that has both favor with God and favor with man.
2. Please pray for the right leaders, teachers, church culture, etc. for this church. An existing church in the Peoria area has given us their church facility as well as all their people and resources. This is a miracle, but we will still need lots of wisdom to build this church correctly.
3. Please pray for a regathering of our old church people who God would want at the new church, as well as the new people yet to come.
4. Please pray for NATIONStrategy. We will continue NATIONStrategy as we always have, but will reduce the number of international trips from 10 to 6 trips per year. Continue to pray for finances.
5. Pray for the energy, courage and wisdom to start this church.
6. Pray for favor with Chosen Books to publish Ed?s book . . . Church@Community (or Intelligent Fire as many of you know it.) This book needs to get published quickly. Also, please pray for the right publisher for Ed?s new book . . . Learning How to Trust All Over Again.
