Continuous Prayers for the Global Church

Here are ten daily prayers from Dr. Timothy Tennent, President of Asbury Theological Seminary specifically for the Global Church. Add them to your rosary.

  1. Open Muslim hearts to Jesus Christ, especially among the Berber, Arab, Turkish, and Persian peoples of the Middle East and north Africa.
  2. Bless and protect the Christian churches in India, especially the new churches in the North. Keep them spiritually strong, spirit anointed, doctrinally sound and effectively led.
  3. Mobilize and anoint the Chinese church for effective missions and evangelism within China and beyond.
  4. Awaken the Western church from its spiritual slumber – bring revival, renewal and repentance. Raise up powerful new leaders from this generation.
  5. Bless the Anglican world-wide communion – honor those who honor you and bring shame on those who deny you and your Word.
  6. Renew the UMC (United Methodist Church) and honor your faithful servants who minister therein.
  7. Bring renewal and revitalizaiton to the Roman Catholic and Easter Orthodox churches – may the gospel be heard and experienced by them around the world.
  8. May new churches be planted in all of the remaining unreached people groups of the world.
  9. Raise up godly leaders for the African church.
  10. Bring a missionary heart and commitment into the life and experience of the Latin American church.

Baby Anna Is Born !!!

Early Thursday morning on September 30th at 12:42 AM Anna Rose Kocak was born to us. The wait was long and the labor was difficult; however, Bridgette and Anna are both healthy. Anna is growing and developing perfectly and Bridgette is healing quickly from her emergency cesarean section (C-Section).

Here are some of my favorite photos of Anna Rose Kocak:

Anna is such a good eater, we had to give her a pacifier.
