Dearest Victor,
I long to be able to sit down with you and Bev face-to-face and spend some time together.
This has been anything but an easy year for me to go through, and your support and personal contact has been most comforting.
Today September 7, I drove up to the Saratoga Springs, NY Congregation where I gave a one point sermon up on the topic of “pray without ceasing“.
They’re only a few of us, as summer six summer attending relatives who are sick in other areas.
We were very much inspired by Dennis McNeely sermon on planning for the next 25 years of the church.
He certainly reinforced your point about waging piece instead of war.
Not only is it in Africa or tribalism is a problem, but the political landscape in the United States has become thoroughly overrun by tribalism and the only thing I can attribute it to is Satan.
Please thank all of the ministers involved in the prayer information program, because that is where they mostly need in our entire fellowship are made known to those who are willing to take part in the program.
I’ve been doing it for sometime and I found myself emotionally overwhelmed and drained, not simply because of the seriousness of everyone for whom we pray, but also because I have suffered serious health trials in the past and the death of Marty this February.
Taking on the responsibility of praying for these people is nothing less serious than volunteering to be part of the critical care unit in the hospital from an emotional standpoint.
Those involved in such service, are constantly in danger of being overcome emotionally by the magnitude of the suffering of the people that they are dealing with.
I found myself in that situation this past week .
Your study hand does much to restore me spiritually and emotionally and I thank you for your leadership!
