A Pastor's Prayer for EAC


[Heavily adapted from Philippians 1]


From Chris, a servant of Jesus Christ

To all those in Estevan Alliance Church – the members of God’s family, along with your leaders and volunteers

May the grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

I continually thank God for you in my prayers. I’m thankful for all of you every time I pray, because of the way you have been my partners in the ministry of the gospel in Estevan from the day I first arrived until now. And I’m certain of this: that Jesus has a plan for you and for the ministry of this church and that he will make sure that plan is seen though to completion.

I know that you are standing behind me and your leaders during good times and bad times and that by the grace of Jesus we can weather any storm together. That knowledge brings me such joy.
This then is my prayer for you: that you would continue to be committed to growth. I pray this so that you will be able to decide what really matters and so you will be sincere and blameless on the day of Christ. I pray that you will then be filled with the fruit of righteousness, which comes from Jesus Christ, in order to give glory and praise to God.

In the great name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
Amen.

See you on Sunday for the explanation...
Chris
