Tower of Refuge

But you are a tower of refuge to the poor, O Lord, a tower of refuge to the needy in distress. You are a refuge from the storm and a shelter from the heat. (Isaiah 25:4a NLT)

Today's prayer topics:

• Whether mountain top or valley low, whether in the cold or heat, storms come but God promises shelter.
• Pray we never rely upon our talents and skills, but rather, pray we invest our best efforts for God's work God's way, finding him always willing to amplify our efforts.
• Pray for a new contact with a man, initials FG, who has huge resources and a kind heart toward Emmanuel. Pray the letter sent to him recently will be well received and will yield a great harvest. 

Thank you for praying.

Answers to prayer:

• Thankful for a total of $58,000 raised in the matching gift fundraising effort to close the fall phonathon. 
• Thankful for the anonymous donor who matched the first $20,000 received. God is good.

Never give up unless its praise we give up to God; never give in except to give in to him.
