Prayer Points
**Please pray for Pastor Daniel Registre of Eglise Baptiste Mahanaim.  We prayed for him several months ago.  He has been sick since January - unable to work or even go to church.  The doctors cannot find the cause of his illness.  He desperately needs our prayers. 
*Please continue to pray for Luz Ramirez.  Luz is the wife of Jose Ramirez, the Pastor of Iglesia Bautista Casa de Restauracion.  She recently had a catherization procedure on her heart.

God's leading in unexpected ways results in a thriving  Boston area church.

Praise God with our brothers and sisters in Christ of the the Bethesda Missi
onary Baptist Church in Brockton!   For years they have met in rented space, but now they are moving steadily forward toward the day that they will have their own church building.   Recently the church purchased this old auto repair shop connected to some office spaces.   Applications for renovation of the 10,000 square feet of space have been submitted to the city government in Brockton,and have been promised within a few weeks. 
 
And that's not all the good news!  Last weekend an advance team of five members of Baptist Builder volunteers from churches in Alabama, Maryland and Conne
cticut surveyed the property.   The team  discussed the various phases of renovation and materials required with leaders of the Bethesda Missionary Baptist Church.  Nothing can be done until the proper permits have all been issued by the city government, but once that happens, a schedule of renovations can be forwarded to volunteer teams willing to help do the manual work required.   Pray with the congregation that soon they can begin to worship in their new building.

We have a responsibility as the church to be salt and light in this world. We are to speak the truth of God's Word to a society whose spiritual and moral foundation is crumbling at an alarming rate. The only hope for our nation is for us to pray, seek His face, and stand firm on the Word.  Through the Decision America Tour, we'll be visiting your state capital to challenge Christians to boldly live out their faith and pray fervently for our nation. Will you join us in this effort?
Franklin Graham

2 Chronicles 7:14 "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

  • America is in trouble.
  •  Jesus Christ is the only hope.
  • Too many who claim to follow Christ are not living according to His Word.
  • We must address sin inside the church before addressing society.
  • We must pray, seek God's face and turn from our wicked ways if we want Him to heal our land.
  • Until Christ returns, He has placed us here to be salt and light to the world; this means we must be engaged in every aspect of society - including politics and government.
  • We should vote; and vote only for candidates who uphold Biblical principles.
  • We should encourage Christians to seek public office at every level.
  • America must make a decision - will we serve God or will we serve ourselves?

Challenge your church to pray for revival in your state and across the nation. 

  • Ask congregation to join your state's Decision America Tour prayer team online at DecisionAmericaTour.com. 
  • Encourage church members to start regular prayer meetings to pray for your community, our nation, the tour, and opportunities to reach the lost with the Gospel.
