“The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from

prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at

our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.”

Samuel Chadwick

The heart that we have for God's Word must be matched with a heart for prayer. I am ex-

cited about our Prayer Conference later this month with Gary and Dana Miller. I am asking

our Lord to use this Conference to move us individually and corporately into a more intimate

and disciplined life of prayer. I am also asking our Lord that the Conference will spur our

men to lead our wives and our families in consistent daily prayer.

Make every effort to attend all the sessions starting Friday, October 28.

INTRODUCTION OF THE PRAYER PARTNER COVENANT - This is a handout that husbands and

the prayer leader in their home.

Sunday, Oct. 30

Combined Sunday school (9:30AM)

Men's Session: PRACTICING HIS PRESENCE: How to be spiritual leaders in their

homes.

Women's session: GETTING A GRIP: Due to Dana's personal experiences with her

fight with cancer, she has an immediate connection with women, and they have

A LOT of questions about this issue that must be dealt with from a biblical per-

spective.

Worship Service (10:45AM) TALK LESS! PRAY MORE!

Gary's message challenges people to take the challenge to apply these four

words to their lives. Talking inflates a crisis. Praying places the crisis where it

belongs...in God's hands. Prayers takes the IMpossible and turns transforms it

into the HIMpossible.
