LET’S PRAISE AND THANK THE LORD FOR –

·        The trustworthiness of His Word

·        The scores and scores of faithful partners with us here in Three Rivers

PLEASE PRAY WITH ME FOR –

·        Val – this week she is at CEF IHQ in Missouri participating in the next “Good News TV” series – please remember, the first series she worked in will premiere on October 5 over YouTube on the CEF channel “U-NITE” – ask the Lord to use her and the team in effective ways in many lives

·        The TCE 2 students – – Carol, LaVerne, and Karen – the next weekend of classes will be October 9 and 10

·        Steve as he promotes the virtual Good News Club this week – we will be presenting them on Zoom beginning October 13 and 15 from 4:00 to 5:00 each Tuesday and Thursday – ask the Lord to bring the kids; remember to also be in prayer for the one home club that will also start in October

·        Those who have received the DYWW booklets – pray that indeed the Holy Spirit will use these ministry tools to draw boys and girls to Himself, pray too for the families that have received them – may this truly be a valuable communication; pray for us as we seek others – we still have several hundred booklets

·        The leadership of CEF – ask the Lord to protect this ministry; pray for the international board of trustees asking the Lord to impress upon these men and women His righteous desires for this vital ministry

·        Al Blackburn – he’s doing well and sees some progress; we are asking the Lord to bring complete healing and restoration

It is our privilege, and responsibility, as His children to faithfully serve Him in prayer – thanks so much for taking time to read through this Rope and talking to our heavenly Father on our behalf.  Blessings – Mike
