Action Packs for Pakistan

Elim’s Awana Clubs recently undertook to send aid to our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in the war-torn nation of Pakistan. With the collected clothing, bedding, towels, sheets and socks, ministry workers with Voice of the Martyrs will include a color Gospel storybook, He Lived Among Us. These Action Packs will be used by Christians in Pakistan to share the love of God among those who are in great need of God’s love and forgiveness. We had such fun assembling the Action Packs, making sure that ALL ages were involved in the process.

Praying for Holiness

Three ministers were talking about prayer in general and their opinions regarding the most appropriate and effective positions for prayer. As they were talking, a telephone repairman was working on the phone system in the background of the study where they were meeting. One minister shared that he felt the key was in the hands. He always held his hands together and pointed them upward as a form of symbolic worship. The second suggested that real prayer was conducted on your knees. The third suggested that they both had it wrong—the only position worth its salt was to pray while stretched out flat on your face.

By this time, the phone man couldn’t stay out of the conversation any longer. He interjected, “I found that the most powerful prayer I ever made was while I was dangling upside down by my heels from a power pole, suspended forty feet above the ground.”

  • 10:30 am —This week we’ll take a brief detour in our study of the second half of the book of Acts as we celebrate the Lord’s Table together. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself (1 Corinthians 11:28-29).
