Thank you to all of you who have been praying and throwing encouragement and support my way this past week. Now I have a mission for you that I hope you will want to participate in.

Eric and his family are now all very new at this Christ follower thing…obviously. Although we have passed on Bibles and some other books to help get them started, I think it would be amazing encouragement for them to hear from all the people who have been praying for them this past week.

What I would like for you to do is to ask the Lord to give you a Scripture or verse that has really encouraged you during your walk with the Lord, tell what it means to you and why, and write a short note of encouragement, support, prayer, etc. What a better way for this family to feel loved by the body of Christ. And I think it will continue to foster a desire for them to continue pursuing the Lord after 30 years of running. We all know that it is so much easier to fall back into old habits after the Lord does a work in our lives…because Satan is on the prowl to destroy this work that has begun.

If you would be willing to do this, you can email them to me at sarahweber@crccsc.org, or drop them on my desk at the office. I hope to be able to send them “care” packages with these notes over the next few weeks.

Thank you, in advance, for taking some time out to encourage this new family in Christ. I know it will mean a lot to them! (It’s easy for them to accept that we had people praying for them, but what would it be like if all that have been, made themselves known to this family) WOW!! If you have any questions, let me know. Love you all!
