This month we’re sending a free magnet of the Frontier
Missions logo as a gift to all of our supporters. So, why a magnet?
Well, it’s intended to be put on the most obvious and seen place in our
world. That’s right, the front of the refrigerator door! Every time
you see FRONTIER MISSIONS you will be reminded to pray for the ministry.
By design, we did not put the phone number, address or website on the logo so
that it would not be misconstrued as advertising. Rather, it would be a
visual reminder to remember us in prayer. I guess you could call it a
PRAYER MAGNET. I like that!
I was reading this passage in Matthew’s Gospel from chapter 9 and verse 37:
“Seeing the people, he felt compassion for them…they were
distressed and dispirited…then he said, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the
workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out
workers into his harvest.’”
The interesting part is the directive, “therefore
beseech” which means that Jesus affirmed the fact that believers’
prayers participate in the fulfillment of God’s plans.
It’s true! Prayer makes a difference! That’s why
we need the prayers of God’s people on behalf of Frontier Missions and our
ministry to help Native Americans. Prayer makes a difference and you’re
making a difference when you pray. Thanks for praying!!
You can pray specifically this month for the trip to help
John Bush and the Lakota-Sioux and the Ogallala on the Pine Ridge and Rose Bud
reservations in South Dakota.
We’ll be on the road from May 19-23. Wayne Campbell will be driving with
me and I’ll be preaching on Wednesday night the 21st. Pray for
the harvest!
So, why a magnet? Well, if a picture is worth a
thousand words, maybe the picture of the Frontier Missions’ logo will speak
many words of encouragement and thanks to you as you remember this ministry and
pray for us. And, every time you open the refrigerator door you can
participate in the fulfillment of God’s plans!
Sincerely,
Rick McPherson
