Psalm 119: 1-8

Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
    who walk in the law of the Lord!
Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
    who seek him with their whole heart,
who also do no wrong,
    but walk in his ways!
You have commanded your precepts
    to be kept diligently.
Oh that my ways may be steadfast
    in keeping your statutes!
Then I shall not be put to shame,
    having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
I will praise you with an upright heart,
    when I learn your righteous rules.
I will keep your statutes;
    do not utterly forsake me!

 

 

 Disaster Relief Sunday

Today, Southern Baptists recognize this day as “Disaster Relief Sunday”, in which we celebrate those who serve in this capacity and pray for those who have been affected by disasters.

Ways To Pray:

  • Families and communities affected by disasters this year. If it be a loss of a loved one, a home, or other resources that have been destroyed.
  • Pray for volunteers who are going out to help provide support and relief, that they would emulate Christ.
  • Even in the destructive wake of a disaster, the hope of the Gospel would be proclaimed.

 

 

 

 

Ghana

Religion & Geography
Largest Religion: Christian
% Evangelical: 24.2% %
Population: 34,777,522
Continent: Africa

 

 

Ghana has multiple ethnic groups and faiths, but it remains largely peaceful. Praise God! The education system and constitution brought together all ethnicities, and helped build a stable democracy. Almost half of Ghana’s college-educated citizens live abroad. This slows development and prosperity at home. Pray that government leaders might seek guidance from God, and not from human philosophies or the spirits.

 

Young people remain key in the efforts to bring revival to Ghana. Much of the population is under age 15, but specific efforts to reach them are insufficient, despite their spiritual openness. This is particularly the case outside the major cities. In the villages, Islam and African traditional religions tend to hold sway. Pray for the impact of SU in secondary schools; GHAFES(IFES) (10 workers), Navigators and Cru in universities and colleges; and CEF among young children. Pray for the conversion and discipleship of a new generation of Christians who will make an impact in the religious, cultural, political and economic life of Ghana.
