5/7 National Day of Prayer

I have been encouraged by our people. The response to the 40 days of Repair Your Altar has been enthusiastic. Several have come up to me immediately after the launch and said something like, "I have been wanting to restore my spiritual life, but did not know what to do. I am so excited about the 40 days because we can do it together." Those responses tell me that our people have spiritual hunger. They will not let their spiritual lives slide passively. Since the launch on Sun, I have attended both the morning prayer (I come at 7am when some have already left) and evening Marveling Place. There also, I have been encouraged. The attendance has increased significantly. People are truly seeking God.

If you have not join the campaign, I urge you to join today. 1) Fast: some time-eating, non-life-giving activities like watching TV, or surfing the net and a meal a week for devotion; 2) Feast: devotion (Scriptures reading; we will provide more materials); 3) Focus to hear God. Ask God to speak to you during the 40 days. I encourage you to do it together with another person(s). It's always easier together than alone. If you have co-workers who are Christians, ask them to do it with you. If not, find someone from your TLC. If you are homemaker-mom, take this time to form a spiritual comaraderie with other moms. Reject spiritual passivity. You are called to make an eternal difference.

Coincidentally, tomorrow is the National Day of Prayer. What wonderful opportunity to pray for our nation! I encourage you to boldly ask your co-workers to pray for your company and for the country. Make it be known that you are a Christian, and you are praying for your company and the nation.
