Prayer | September 2024 | Issue 7
FROM THE DESK OF JOHN
What a summer it has been! Between wars, weather, and political and economic upheavals in our own country, many of us have been left to cry out, “Oh, Lord, come quickly!” But through it all, we have had the absolute joy of having you stand with our ministry with your prayers, your friendship, and your financial support. We thank God for you!
May I ask you to pray for our ministry? We have so many good TV stations asking us to come on their stations, but it costs! Inflation has cut into the amount of our audience’s gifts. We know food has gone up, electricity has gone up, gas has gone up, home prices have gone up, and airtime on TV stations has gone up.
But we need your help this month to maintain and expand presenting and defending the gospel to you and other people. In the past, someone gave us money so we could go on your TV station—the one where you watch our program.
It would encourage us greatly if you would give a gift of any size to help us present defend the gospel in other cities. The world needs Jesus. But we need your help to tell them. Pray about this and see how God leads you.
As we move into September, many of us have children or grandchildren who are back in the classroom. Many of them will be taught “the current facts” of science, some of which are true, some false.
The false ones are from secular scientists presenting ideas that leave out any reference to God such as “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Scientists have no idea how the DNA molecule came into existence “by chance,” nor how the universe is so fine-tuned that life can exist only on earth. That’s why we are bringing you a series of programs with philosopher of science Dr. Stephen Meyer we have entitled, “The New Scientific Evidence that Points to the Existence of God.”
Our discussion was based around Dr. Meyer’s bestselling book, “Return of the God Hypothesis.” It explains how new discoveries in our human bodies, the world, and the universe, show that only an all-powerful and highly intelligent God could have created all of this.

The grandmother of one our team members shared this list of topics and verses she prays over her children and grandchildren every morning. She openly testifies to the sweet time she spends with God in prayer over her family each day!
We often say "all we can do is pray" but in reality the greatest thing we can do for our children and grandchildren is to pray for them. Pray consistently and trust God to do His transforming work in them. Whether your family is walking with God consistently or they are far from Him, we encourage you to pray! It is through fervent prayer that lives are changed and it often begins with the one who is praying!
