PLEASE PRAY for the victims of the Indonesian earthquake and tsunami. That they would receive food, water, basic supplies and the help they need after such a devastating event. Pray that they would receive help in rebuilding what has been destroyed and reuniting with lost loved ones.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Mark 10.2-16
Let us faithfully lift up our children to the Lord and declare salvation, protection and health over their lives. Let us be reminded that they are not ‘the next generation’ but the NOW generation. They may be future leaders, but the equipping starts today. v14 ‘…He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.’
