Pray For Your Pastor!

January 5, 2025

**1 Timothy 5:17** – ***Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine***

Pastors are under attack today in every denomination. They are attacked from within their own church by disgruntled attendees and from without by those who don’t even attend or aren’t members of the church.

Some things you may not know about Pastors. Every Pastor has some of these problems.

97% of pastors have been betrayed, falsely accused or hurt by their trusted friends.
70% of pastors battle depression.
7,000 churches close each year.
1,500 pastors quit each month.
10% will retire a pastor.
80% of pastors feel discouraged.
94% of pastors families feel the pressure of ministry.
78% of pastors have no close friends.
90% of pastors report working 55-75 hours per week.

Pray for your Pastor and do something to show your appreciation for him. Write a note, email or text him if you are fortunate enough to have his personal number.

Thankful For My Pastor

November 24, 2024

Pastor Mike Grover and his wife Cheryl are a great blessing to their family, friends and community.

He is a man of prayer and compassion for others. He preaches the Word of God and has a desire to see people saved and then to grow in their walk with the Lord.

If you have a Godly Pastor, thank the Lord for him today. Pray for him and his family. Pastors have a life that is filled with blessings, but they also have trials like everyone else.

They are responsible not only for their own family, but also for their congregation.

Today prayers go up for Pastor, Mike, and the many other Pastors that are on my prayer list. Will you join me as we pray for them? Pray for blessings, wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit as they preach the Word.

Pray for the people that listen will have hearts that are ready to hear. That unsaved will come to Jesus for salvation and Christians will be convicted of sin and live a life pleasing to God.

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:2

Halloween Use This Day To Glorify God!

October 31, 2024

As Christians we can us Halloween to glorify Our God and Savior Jesus.

How? Many churches have “Trunk or Treat” events. If your church has one and you decorate your car and give out candy, also, give a tract with it.

When children come to your home, asking for a treat, give them candy but again make sure they have a tract that will tell them about Jesus.

SOS Events will have 2 events tonight, what is our main purpose? To use this opportunity to see many ask Jesus to be their Savior.

We have a few of volunteers who set up a table in their yard with the “3 Things God Can Not Do” display. They give out candy and the Gospel. God blesses the events with people accepting Jesus as their Savior.

So today, turn this night of sometimes evil things happening into something good by using it to glorify God. Please be in prayer for the events that are taking place with SOS Events tonight. Pray souls will be saved.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21

Words of Wisdom!

October 27, 2024

“May we not say with pessimism, “Look what this world is coming to but may we shout with praise, “Look who has come to the world.”

There is redemption in the ruin. Where sin did abound, grace did much more abound.

My friends, Jesus is the answer!”

Words of wisdom from Pastor Jonathan Watson, a Pastor in Virginia.

Today be thankful for Pastors that speak and preach with wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit.

Pray for your Pastor today as he preaches God’s Word. He needs your prayers and encouragement.

Make it a priority every Sunday to pray for the leadership in your church.

The next 4 Saturdays!

October 26, 2024

The next 4 weeks, especially on Saturdays have multiple events for SOS Event Ministry. This is the busiest time of year with fall Festivals and Halloween alternatives around the USA.

Please pray for these events. That souls will be saved, volunteers will be available for every event, good weather and large attendance.

In Florida especially, as many of the volunteers and people who planned on attending are still cleaning up after 2 hurricanes, we ask for God to provide what we need to make these event successful.

Opportunities for these events only come once a year and your prayers are important for people to come to the Lord.

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1Timothy 1 Timothy 2:1-4

We Need To Pray!

September 17, 2024

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

We need to pray for our Country for unity. Whatever political party you identify with, you need to pray!

Unrest, violence and accusations are prevalent in the country now. We need peace.

Only God can calm and bring sanity back. We can help by praying and choosing the candidates who will honor God and the principles that are in the Bible.

It is important that we do not add to the current situation by repeating the media narratives that cause the unrest.

Then make sure you do your duty as a citizen and get out and vote in the upcoming election.
