Mission Journal #7 - We are Family!

Today's Scripture focus is from Ephesians 3:14-21 (NLT)
Paul’s Prayer for Spiritual Growth
When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.  Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.  And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.  May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.  Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

Family - the Mission Team is with the family of God in Peru.  They are working alongside with, serving with and fellowshipping with family.  Praise the Lord that they have this opportunity and that they can more fully understand "how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is."

Pray . . .Lord God, I'm learning this week to appreciate your larger family, all of the people of the world that You love.  Teach me to be like Jesus in the way I love the people of the world.  Help me to set aside my prejudices.  I want to see other people as you see them, with the eyes of love. Amen.
