Uphold the Cause of the Poor

Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. (Psalm 82:3 NIV)

Today's meditation:

• We have abundance compared to much of the world. Our duty is to help when and where we can.

Pray today:

• For the EC Serve mission trip to Costa Rica that leaves this week, for all last-minute preparations to be completed, for all participants to be in good health and to travel safe, for Spirit-led ministry to bless the people to be served. 

Our prayers make a difference in our outcomes. Please continue to pray over the list below that focuses on key needs at Emmanuel College.
