No Longer Foreigners And Strangers
“So then you are no longer foreigners and strangers,
but fellow citizens with the saints,
and members of God’s household.” -
Ephesians 2:19
Ephesians is a fascinating book as it bedrocks a vast spectrum of truth God desires us to know.
One key point is, that as people who trust Jesus Christ as their Savior, we are His people and therefore
part of His land. In Him, we have become native to an eternal land whose king is Jesus Christ.
What a privilege to call Him our King and our Lord!
In
1 Timothy 2:1-6, we learn that God desires all to be saved through the work Jesus did
on the cross. This week, please pray for your family, friends, neighbors – and the Francophone world,
that all of these might come to know Jesus Christ as their
Savior and Lord, and would no longer be foreigners and strangers
for the rest of their eternity.
May God richly bless you as you pray and
praise!

- Russ and Mary Ann Miller praise the Lord for safety on the road and for protection
from sickness ever since they left home on October 6. Thank you to all who have been praying. Please continue
to pray as our travels will continue through November 12.
- Please pray for Millers as they make contact with the French professors of several Christian
universities in Indiana. Also pray for their ministry at the Missions Conference of First Missionary Church in
Berne, IN, November 4-8.
- This week we are praying for the people and leaders of the
Seychelles. President Danny Faure
and Vice President Vincent Meriton lead this island nation. The Seychelles are located in the Indian Ocean,
northeast of Madagascar and about 1,600 km (994 mi) east of Kenya. Though the vast majority of Seychellois claims
to be Christian most need spiritual transformation. Many mix voodoo-like African Spiritism based on black magic
and herbalism into their Christian walk. Pray for the Holy Spirit to bring new life and sustained fruit. Pray also
for the vision of the church to have a powerful and positive impact on the spiritual life of the nation. Pray for
the Seselwa (Seychelles Creole) New Testament to be available to all native speakers.
- Please join us to pray with, and for, the persecuted Church on November 5. Pray for strength
and perseverance in times of adversity and that, despite trials, Christians will continue to share the gospel and
shine for Jesus in the most difficult places around the globe.
"Of all the duties enjoined by Christianity, none is more essential and yet more neglected than prayer."
--François Fénelon
