"I am so amazed at the things God is doing in the lives of young Nazarene people who want to make a difference at this time. Yes! Post-modern youth, who not only want knowledge and logic but above all, want a real experience, full of action, just like the Lord Jesus. I have visited churches during these past few months and have found youth who prayed two years ago for a missionary experience. And now, when they hear the message of salvation and compassion of Nazarene Missions, they are amazed about the missionaries' love.

I read the list of churches that Pastor Art sent to us and I noticed something. The churches that are growing and are strong are those that are characterized by two things: they pray and they give to the Lord. No doubt about it!

Sad news from the Missionaries Global report. I noticed that for the past 3 years, we are sending fewer missionaries. God is calling a lot of His people to serve Him in full time ministry in difficult places, but they can not go because our churches are not giving and are not supporting. This is very sad... Oh God forgive us!

Malachi 3:8 says: "Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing me! But you say, 'How have we robbed you?' In tithes and offerings."

Maybe it's the economic crisis. Perhaps because many brothers and sisters have problems with their jobs, or maybe because many have lost their jobs, or because they are very sick. Whatever the circumstances, we should be at the Lord's feet and cry out to God for our lives, better jobs, good bosses, generous hearts, health, and especially joy.

Can we imagine watching strong churches, pastors motivating their churches to pray, passionate leaders/servants, members, and teachers? Every act, every decision in our churches, every class, every little thing needs prayer. Can we imagine?"
