RENEWING OUR RENEWAL MOVEMENT 

  Gary Holloway 

 

I am reading Michael Kinnamon's latest book, Can A Renewal Movement Be Renewed? I found his "Framework for Imagination" in a chapter on "What would it mean to take the next step in ecumenical relations" stimulating.

Last month we read a letter from Nancy Phiri about children in the Harvest View Academy community. How is God calling YOU to respond? Letter from Kenya-August, 2014

March 6, 2015
===================================
The World Day of Prayer is a global movement which brings Christians of many traditions together to observe a common day of prayer each year. Through preparation and participation in an annual day of celebration on the first Friday of March, a worship service and materials prepared by a different country and region welcomes all people to know how our sisters of other countries, languages and cultures understand the Biblical passages in their context. We can hear their concerns and needs and can feel ourselves in solidarity with them as we pray with and for them. In this way, it is possible to enrich our Christian faith as it grows deeper and broader in an international, ecumenical expression.

Through World Day of Prayer, women around the world:

* affirm their faith in Jesus Christ
* share their hopes and fears, their joys and sorrows, their opportunities and needs

Through World Day of Prayer, women are encouraged:

* to become aware of the whole world and no longer live in isolation
* to be enriched by the faith experience of Christians of other countries and cultures
* to take up the burdens of other people and pray with and for them
* to become aware of their talents and use them in the service of society

Through World Day of Prayer, women affirm that prayer and action are inseparable and both have immeasurable influence in the world.

It's not too early to begin thinking about and preparing for your March 6, 2015 observance. World Day of Prayer Australia is a wonderful planning resource. 

Please pray daily for Global Women Connecting and the lives it touches.

Daily Disciple
                             -Gary Holloway
 
 "O the quiet holy joy of the silent hour, when the soul is alone with God! Have you learned to love it, dear reader? If not, you have yet to attain to one of the purest and sweetest pleasures possible to the Christian in this life" (J.H. Garrison, Alone with God, 21).

If this quotation has appeal to you, you are not alone. Many of us long to spend time alone with a God. But an hour? In our busy lives? Perhaps, like me, you have desired and intended for years to have a regular quiet time with God, but did not know how to begin. If so, then this volume provides a starting point, a daily five-minute devotional that can begin your time with God.
