Prayer & Praise

Pray that the Lord would heal Jim Baker of all his cancer and other illnesses, and restore the strength of his youth. Please pray that our churchs neighbours would be favourable to having the proposed Child Care operating in our facility Pray for Gods blessing on a unique opportunity for The Alliance in New York City. A 15-second video will be shown 18 times a day on the CBS Super Screen in Times Square, August 1 through September 30. It will feature the Be Light Missions Conference theme with a Web link for unbelievers explaining the gospel message and inviting Christians to shine in the dark places. The segment will be shown to more than 1.5 million people each day for 61 days. Please pray that God would lead people to follow the links, and challenge them with their messages.

Prayer at WHAC
Prayer Night: Join us in the church August 25th and September 8th.

Oh, how it helps and comforts us in the plodding of life to know that we have with us the Christ who spent the first thirty years of His life swinging a hammer in the carpenter shop at Nazareth, covered with sweat and grimy dust, physically weary as we often are, and able to understand all our experiences of drudgery and labour! Moreover, He still loves to share our common tasks and equip us for our difficult undertakings of hand and brain. Yes, housewife, He will help you at the kitchen range and sink as gladly as at the hour of prayer. Yes, busy labourer, He will go with you and help you to swing the hammer, or handle the saw, or hold the plow in the soil of life. You will be a better mechanic, a more skilled workman, a more successful man because you take His wisdom for the common affairs of life. There is no place or time where Jesus is not able and willing to walk by our side, to work through our hand and minds, and to unite Himself in loving and caring partnership with all our needs and tasks and trials. In this way He proves Himself our allsufficiency for all things.
