You helped us raise $9,545.00 through the Moving on Mission Prayer Ride! God is SO good!!! We are blessed beyond measure by the generosity! We are believing God for great things this summer from North to South, East to West in SIL! We have lots of supplies and Bibles to give the children and most of all the planting of the Gospel seed! May the LORD of the Harvest give the increase of little ones saved by the blood of Jesus. Holy Spirit move on hearts and bring the children to come unto You in faith. ❤️✝️🔥

Praise the LORD for godly dads!

“I’d rather hear my father pray than anybody in the world,” said Billy Graham.

Growing up on a dairy farm during the Great Depression, Billy watched his father, Frank Graham, face financial hardship, crop failures and uncertainty. But through every challenge, his father’s faith, joy and trust in God never wavered. His example taught Billy what it meant to work hard, find strength in the Lord and pray sincerely, bringing their family before God day after day.

“Every time my parents prayed for their sons and daughters, they were declaring their dependence on God for the wisdom and strength and courage to stay in control of life, no matter what the circumstances might bring. Beyond that, they prayed for their children, that they might come into the kingdom of God,” the evangelist wrote in his autobiography, “Just As I Am.”

The influence of a godly father can reach far beyond what he may ever see. This Father’s Day, we thank God for fathers whose example points the next generation to Christ.
