2008-02-23: A Place to Pray, Retreat, and Learn.
"Father, Thank You for the opportunity to walk and pray with the Leadership Task Force and International Services staff along a trail at Emerald Hills today. It was cold. The paths were icy, but the hearts were warm with Your love. Thank You for the beauty of Your creation in the midst of the trees bowed low with ice. Thank You for entrusting us with the perfect place to pray, retreat, and learn. In the Name of Jesus, Amen."

2008-02-21: Praise the Lord for #18!
Give thanks to God for our 18th "29" partner, a one-time gift in the works for $25,000 from an anonymous donor, grateful to God. The name of the shelter will be, simply, "Emmanuel Prayer Shelter."
I have no way of knowing how or why the donor selected the name for the shelter, but I do know that I heard Mercy Me's "God with Us" (that's what Emmanuel means, right?) on the radio yesterday morning. The lyrics to that song express to me the heart of God in sending His Son, Emmanuel, to redeem the nations. I can hardly wait to spend time at that shelter expressing gratitude to God for the sacrifice of His Son to redeem all of mankind.
Thank You, thank You, thank You, Jesus!
