Labor Day - Your Mini New Year?

For many people September is a “mini” new year. Once Labor Day is over, summer draws to an end, schools are back in session, and for some it is a fresh start.

Here is a suggestion for fresh start you might consider: partner with LWML in praying for our mission grants. One thing I find helpful is to print the monthly mission grant story and prayer guide and use it in my daily quiet time. The featured grant for September 2010 is: Kyrgyzstan Locals Trained for Evangelism, a grant of $100,000.

How vital it is that local leaders be trained and equipped to share the Gospel with the people of Kyrgyzstan. Long after our LCMS missionaries are gone, these local leaders will be the ones spreading the Gospel and telling what Jesus has done.

Our mission grants do make a difference in the lives of people, for now, and more importantly, for eternity. Pray for each of the 19 grants this biennium, and give generously to ensure that all the grants will be funded.
