Pray!

Tonight Grant Norsworthy will be leading a men’s rally here at Beulah. We are using it as our fall kick-off for the men’s group as they begin meeting after the summer off…but in a larger sense, we have invited men from surrounding churches to come and hear Grant and what God has given him. Please, please pray 1) that the men God wants here will show up…we’ve even enticed them with a meal… 2) that Grant receives an anointing and shares what God wants shared…nothing more, nothing less, and 3) that hearts will be receptive to God’s word delivered thru Grant and it would take root. My personal hope is that for each man here tonight there will be a handful of women praying for him. For far too long the Church has been ineffective, due in part to inactive men who are trying to fit God into their busy lives that are caught up trying to make a living in this crazy world. I am not sure I can even imagine what this community, Church, or world would look like if every man would sell out and fully surrender to Jesus Christ. The impact of these men on their children/families, on their peers, on their businesses would be exponential! I think it would equal the impact Pentecost had on the first century Church! So pray, pray that God’s will for each of these men tonight would be realized. Then continue to pray for these men that the fire kindled tonight would never be extinguished.

I'll keep the men of your church in prayer - they have such important roles in church AND home!! Just saw Grant last night at the Wesley Foundation in Carbondale - he's a very powerful, effective speaker.
