We have a new “Salvation Board.”
For people new to Connect, let me explain. About 5 years ago we started this “Salvation Prayer Board.” Our people at the time wrote the names of their unsaved loved ones on the board. At our prayer meetings and many times on Sunday mornings we pray for the salvation of these people. The 32 stars are 32 people that we know have come to faith since.
Although only God has the ability to save people, He does call us to intercede for the lost. Jesus didn’t just pray for His disciples, he also prayed for those who would later believe in Him, John 17:20 (i.e. non-believers who would one day turn to Christ).
1 Peter 3:12 says “For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are attentive to their prayer.” In your prayers use the authority of Jesus Christ’s name to bind Satan’s activity in their life. Be specific in what you bind. Then ask Christ to release His Holy Spirit power over their life and call them to Himself. Ask Jesus Christ to soften their hearts to the Gospel, and to create an opportunity for you to share. Never give up on your loved ones.
After all, Christ has never given up on you.

About Pastor Julie
I’m passionate about the church – building believers up in their faith, to be all God intended them to be; and I’m passionate about sharing the love and hope of Jesus with people who don’t know Him yet.
