“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you, will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:3-6.O Divine Father, it is so blessed to pray to you with joy about our church. When the fellowship of believers is strong, there is a sense of partnership in working to spread the gospel of Christ. If we work together with one purpose and see things that only you can do, our joy overflows. We are so thankful for faithful Christians.

When relationships with you and others is right, the work which was begun by the Holy Spirit can continue unhindered in the building of the church and to your glory. We are joyful because there are churches that are not racked by dissension and the littleness of human immaturity.

Bless the churches of this area with a spirit of urgency to proclaim the difference that Christ can make in a life.

Amen.
