Dear Church Family,
I don’t know if you know, but we have had several of our people from Bay Minette or connected to Bay Minette that have been either killed or injured in horrific car accidents or shootings the past couple of weeks. When things like this occur, it shakes a community and causes us to evaluate our lives and our own relation-ships with the people with love and with God. If you are a prayer warrior, I strong-ly encourage you to pray for these families and friends. If you are just a casual prayer person, please start praying for these folks as well. They need it like never before. Pray for our leaders and students in our schools as they have been strug-gling this week. I want you to pray for comfort for them and pray that God will speak to them. I want all of us to look to God and ask Him to save those who are lost. Many times, when tragedy strikes people begin to seek God like never before and in some cases for the first time. We don’t always understand why things like this happen, but we must trust God in the bad times and the good times. I pray that something amazing is going to happen because of all this. God is bigger than any tragedy or problem that comes our way. God loves us more than anyone could ever possibly love us. Use this time to pray for those who don’t have the words or strength. Pray for God to save those who need saving. James 5:13 says, “Is any-one among you suffering? Let him pray.” James 5:16b says, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Please church pray.
On another note, our city just finished with local elections. You may be pleased with the results or not. At this point in time it doesn’t matter. Either way we need to all lift up our leaders here in Bay Minette and pray for them and the success of our great city. Pray that God will continue to bless us and that our city will be united through God, even if we don’t always agree. I thank God that he brought our family here to be used for a time as this.
God Bless,
Pastor Jason
