Team prayer meeting

At 10pm tonight, our team is having a prayer conference call! We will to set aside some time tonight to pray for our supporters, so if you want us to lift something up tonight, post a response below. If your prayer request is a little more sensitive, then contact one of us in private and we'll pray about your request.

On a different note, I had the opportunity to present for six or seven minutes at West Shore Church of the Brethren [http://www.westshorecob.com/]. West Shore is a small community church where I immediately felt at home---which is strange, because my home church [http://www.fumchurch.com/] probably has 1,000 members and my college church [http://www.summitrdu.com/] is home to about 3,000 on any given Sunday. Meeting with the Lord God seemed to be the crux of the gathering. The senior pastor, Frank Leaman, so obviously cares for his flock and wants to introduce more and more people to Jesus.

My dad and I talked about how little fanfare existed in the service. Personally, I return again and again to God's Word in Isaiah that His house shall be called a house of prayer unto all nations---not a house of preaching, a home of entertainment, or even a house of great fellowship. In the "absence of distractions," I felt ministered to by the Lord and His Word. I loved being among that congregation and am eager to return next year to report about what God is doing in Dakar.
