Things I pray about: March 2007

this weekend

It's easy to elevate ourselves, and see ourselves better than other people. But this weeknd we are looking at God's call to us to actually see others better than ourselves!

Please pray with me that lights will go on and people will grow in understanding of how to relate to others well.

Please especailly pray with me for saturday night service at 6, which has been tough going lately. Ask God to bind the spirits of darkness, and to help us walk powerfully in the Holy SPirit!

Nightline finally ran

So last night, Nightline finally did run the segment on Tongues, featuring Freedom Valley and me. If you missed it and want to see it, go on over to www.freedomvalley.org, click on sermons, and you'll see the link to watch it (high speed connections only). OR, you can get a copy in Third Place coffeeshop, OR you can come to church this weekend!

Thanks for caring about it. I think it turned out really Jesus-honoring.

Nightline... now Thursday

Sorry everybody… we’ve been bumped again… this time to Thursday I guess. -Gerry

Nightline thing tonight!

So I can only guess you are tired of hearing it by now, but here is one more update on the Nightline thing: I just got word from the producer Roxanna Sherwood, and she told me that as far as she knows, our piece is running tonight. She also gave me a web-link, saying that the web version is now up, which is always a good sign of intent. Now if we can only get The President of the United States, and other newsmakers to be quiet today, maybe it will finally run tonight!

Here’s the link: http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/story?id=2935819&page=1. I loved it!

a pastor friend, a family in grief, and various attacks

I have a dear Pastor friend who is truggling with a serious attack on his character, where temptations threaten his sanity and soul.

Also heavy on my heart is Pastor Craig and Cindy Lauterbach whose daughter Laura was killed in a car crash Friday. I can only imagine what they are going through today and my heart aches for them.

Also, it seems like as a church we are under a lot of spiritual attacks right now. I covet your prayers for all of that.

Thank you everybody! Please let me know if you are praying with me.

Julie's birthday

Friends,
Tomorrow, March 16 is my wife Julie's birthday!
Would you help me organize a prayer shower for her? That is, would you mind offering a pray to the father for her blessings on her birthday?

Thank you,

Gerry

Nightline

Hey team,

I just got yet another call from ABCNEWS Nightline, to say that our tongues segment has been out off yet again- to perhaps next Wednesday the 14’th!

I’m sorry about that, but there is nothing any of us can do but pray. Who knows but that God is somehow using this for our good.

On the good side, the producer told me that she thinks we will be pretty happy with the segment. She said our kind and helpful hearts can through strongly, and that the segment will help a lot of people with some of their misunderstandings about tongues.

Could you help me by sending this on to a few people? I keep meeting people who stayed up late to watch it last night, who did not get my emails about it being moved the first time. It would be cool if more of them heard about it and were not inconvenienced. So send this to some people for me, okay?

Thanks,
