Cynthia,

I trust your thinking and know God guides you, I loved your writings in the Mag.and the blogs

I wondered if you could comment on something?  Our music and the order of service is taking up so much time we don't have much time for prayer, except a prayer from our pastor. Quick and short. The woman who is now doing our music comes from the philosophy of the Purpose Driven Church, which I am aware is not really based Biblical, (no mention of the cross and redemption etc)  I have mentioned to the pastor but no change. I just keep praying God opens eyes. Thank you Sherry

Thank you for referring me back to Tricia's article, really enjoyed reading it.

I found another article called Revelation of God's Glory by Prof Finney, as I was reading about Moses and he his face was shining after being with God. I thought how fun to give everyone at that prayer station a glow in the dark cross to remind them when we spend time with our Lord we shine His Glory into our world...and that we need to keep spending time with Him so we keep glowing :)

Cynthia,

In the Pray! March/April 2003 issue you wrote on "God's Glory". I really appreciated the intro and how you described God's Glory......"When He reveals His manifest presence to us, we are so overwhelmed by ..........God........

I wondered if you have come across books or Bible studies or anything else that you thought was good. We are doing what we call a prayer summit, with about 6 stations and our theme is God's Glory. God's glory: in the fruit we bear; in the prayers we pray;in the way we serve, etc.....

Any suggustions?

Thank you,

Sherry

Hi Cynthia,

 I'm leading a small group that just began your book "Prayer Begins With Relationship", and I wanted to thank you for writing it. We just finished the 2nd week, and we are just completely blown away already at how it is completely changing our relationship with the Lord! It is a very powerful book and God is using it mightily already in our little group. We read in there that you are planning on continuing the series. We certainly hope so, and we can't wait for the next one - even though we haven't finished the first one yet. : )

 

Thank you for letting God use your journey and for writing this book. God bless you!

Thank you, Cynthia for your kind words and support.  I am excited to begin to explore this website, for I do know without prayer, I don't do well! 

 May God bless you abundantly!

 

Yes, this coming fall we will celebrate 25 years in international student ministry at the University of Missouri-Columbia. We are now with InterFACE Ministries (www.iface.org) which is based in Atlanta, GA with Bob Culver. I've appreciated your good work with Pray over the years and have benefitted much from the magazine.

We attended the City Lights Urban Project (IVCF) in St. Louis over this Spring Break and met three international students who were sons or daughters of grad students we knew 20 years ago (2 from China, 1 from Mongolia). Their sons and daughters are now seekers looking into the life of Jesus and pursuing Him. It made us feel so old, Shirley remembered holding one of the girl's when she was a baby. Now she's a freshman in college. But it also caused us to rejoice to see the transgenerational impact of our ministry in their lives.

 

Our website is http://www.ifcolumbia.org  Check out the prayer requests page and pray for us if the Lord leads. Praying for you and your ministry as I close.

 

In Christ,

Craig Colbert

Hi Cynthia. We've had positive responses to your article. I think a request is coming through for a speaking appointment. PLT.
could you join me in praying for a young adult who just got slammed three times in a row. He was well on his journey of new beginnings with the Lord and his new faith is being shaken.

Thanks, Cynthia! I'm glad to have found this also. Looking forward to reading, learning, and meeting people!
