Called to Pray
In most of our postings, we are called to pray for those serving overseas or for those they are serving. I would like to point your prayer efforts for the next few days on domestic affairs.
BMDF Family
Over the past few days and weeks, I have been in touch with several BMDF members who have prayer needs. I would like to share a couple of those with you today.
- Be in prayer for Grace Williams. Grace is the wife of Jim Williams who served as the Executive Director for BMDF. Grace served for many years the SBC Brotherhood Commission and for her last several years there, served as Secretary for BMDF. Jim writes that she had a stroke two months ago and is now home and improving. She is undergoing Physical Therapy, and they would appreciate our Prayers.
- Be in prayer for Mary Clawson. Mary is a faithful and very supportive member of BMDF. She also publishes prayer concerns on our BMDF Facebook page. Mary had a foot infection back in March and has slowly making progress in recovery. She has not been working but is looking forward to returning to work in the near future. Will you pray for Mary as she continues to heal and that the Lord would provide for her needs during this time as she recovers. Also pray that she will soon be able to return to work.
- Randy Oliver will be leading a team of 14 volunteers on a BMDF sponsored trip working in the high mountains of Peru. They will fly into Cusco and proceed from there to a mountain top mission center that is under the direction of “Your Mission Matters”. Pray that all the logistics of this trip will come together as they plan to travel from Oct. 22 – Nov. 2.
Pray for our Country
- Be in prayer for those who are still recovering from the disaster of Hurricane Helene and for those who are in the path of Hurricane Milton which is due to hit around Tampa Florida on October 9 (tomorrow evening). Pray for those who are volunteering (including Send Relief) and for the many, many needs that face those who are undergoing these terrible times.
- Be in prayer for our Nation. In less than a month, we are not only electing a President, but also many members of U.S. Congress, U.S. Senate, and statewide/local elections. Pray that God would lift up persons who are seeking election/re-election, that God would allow leaders to be elected who look to Him for guidance as they serve.
Are you aware of others within our Fellowship who needs prayer. Please contact me and let me (click here)know. I am willing to share these needs with our group and will share with our Prayer committee.
Until next time — Bob
