Morning: Want and Need
PENNY TRUETT describes an unforgettable scene while
handing out food at the Baptist church in Maralal, Kenya.
“Greed overtook some people who grabbed and pushed,
(while) others sat in the dirt with their plastic cups and bags
and winnowed the remains in the hopes that it might be
enough to make a meal. I couldn’t see how such a little
amount could make a difference to anyone, but I suppose that
is the difference between want and need. Hunger isn’t the
only problem here. The elderly, widowed, and orphaned also
suffer along with people wasting away from HIV/AIDS. Pray
for our ministry among the Samburu people.” Southern
Baptists like Penny have been ministering to AIDS victims in
Africa since the 1980s, thanks to support from churches like
yours working together through CP. The people of Kenya
need our continued support and prayers.
Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain [did]. By this he was approved as a righteous man, because God approved his gifts, and even though he is dead, he still speaks through this.
Evening: Eskimo Villages north of the Arctic Circle
>b>JOHN and TERRI FORRESTER are North American
missionaries serving in the Arctic of Alaska. John is a Church
Starter Strategist who works with five Eskimo villages north of
the Arctic Circle where temperatures sometime fall to 40 - 60
below zero in the winter. Our belief in and support through
the Cooperative Program (CP) help John as he works to
strengthen five churches and missions where the Eskimo people
live and also to plant new congregations. As you go through
your week, pray for John and his associates as they endure the
harsh climate and conditions and work to develop indigenous
leaders to one day take over the work in the Arctic.
STATEMENT:Abel gave because he had faith in God. Even his death signaled victory. He became an example of faith for the new Israel, the church.
Our giving demonstrates our faith and presents an example of faith for others.
