LIBERDA FAMILY PRAYER JOURNAL

DECEMBER 12, 2011

There are very few things that truly last, and the transient missionary life provides ample reminders of this. Everything is a for a time, and there is a season for everything. And yet every passing thing contributes to that which lasts. Temporary trials that come and go prepare us for the eternal, and short lived blessings provide a tase of everlasting ones to come. This past "season" for us has been marked by the routine of school at home and the completely unroutine event of "dad" being gone from home for nearly two months to tour and speak in Alliance churches. It was a good time to be in the churches, and it was good for it to end and to be back home with the family.

The overwhelming sense of the tour experience was one of tremendous blessing to be in each one of these churches of Christ, to be part of each of these faith families if only for a short time. Whatever any of their problems or successes, strengths or weaknesses, each is a family of its own and a small part of a much larger family. Wherever it is found it represents an entirely unique situation in this world...a place where hearts born opposed to God have been reborn to yearn for Him. We are so thankful for this Church...the American Church with its long heritage and the Mongolian Church in all its newness. It is a privilege to be called to serve both by being sent from the one to the other, and to participate in strengthening it on both ends. We are thankful for all of you fellow members of the Church who support our transient coming and going and all the needs and cares that come with such a life. Thank you for your support in sending us and keeping us going, and for keeping these prayer requests lifted up.

Get Involved...

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—in our denomination, in our churches, and in our individual lives.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This central funding vehicle allows our international workers to focus on ministry rather than raising financial support.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to participate in a short-term missions trip and experience missions work firsthand? We’re here to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
