Bethany Grace Fellowship, East Earl PA

Tags : 

Dear Father,

I have found another church inviting imperfect people to join their community!  Yes!  It is Bethany Grace Fellowship of East Earl, PA.

I ask Your blessings on this church.  Bring them imperfect people, souls who are crying out for God.  May those people find the peace and contentment through You they are looking for by the love of the people at Bethany Grace.  I also pray that You will create more testimonies in this church, encourage members of the congregation to share them among themselves, and then with the hurting in their local community.

Downcity Church, Providence RI

Tags : 

Dear Father,

I discovered the Downcity Church of Providence RI website.  I love their statement about secret of “happiness”.

Downcity Church is a growing group of people who have learned by experience that real happiness in life is found when you trust in God, give your heart to Him, and obey Him. So many people are unsatisfied, or anxious, or bitter about life, and it’s because they haven’t learned the secret of it. The secret of deep, sustained happiness is a right relationship with God. We are so thankful for Jesus Christ and want all our friends to know about Him, because He has brought us to God and is giving us genuine life and happiness through the gospel.

Renaissance Church, Providence RI

Tags : 

Dear Father,

I thank You for leading Renaissance Church of Providence RI to share the text about “raw honesty” on their website:

We frequently hear from people who dropped out of churches due to the plastic nature of the relationships. The pressure to be happy and “spiritual” 24-7 was exhausting. The atmosphere did not welcome doubts or deep questions or even dark nights of the soul. In this environment the great temptation is to be fake. We refuse to do that. We are bent on being real. From pastor to pew we have come to realize life is way too short to pretend. We are not afraid of showing our flaws and admitting our failures. We are comfortable being who we are. We know that we are weak – works in progress – and far from perfect. So we do our best to provide an atmosphere where broken people can come to be healed. And it’s happening all the time!

Dear Father,

I thank You that New Hope Church of State College PA has a home on their website for testimonies!

It is clear that lives are being touched by this ministry in central Pennsylvania.  I also thank You for the article on their website about prayer.  Prayer is at the core of Gramazin and, therefore, I am very appreciative of that post.

Bible Fellowship Church, Yardley PA

Tags : 

Dear Father,

I thank You for inspiring the folks of Bible Fellowship Church of Yardley PA to publish these words on their website:

When we say we want to “make disciples,” it means we want more people to become forgiven followers of Jesus. This process, sometimes called discipling, is the responsibility that every Christian has to speak truth to one another in love so that we will grow in every aspect of our lives to become more like Jesus and lead others to do the same.

Father, I believe testimony-sharing is essential to discipling.  “I used to handle my problems in life an old way.  Now, because of Christ, I handle my problems in a new way.  Please learn the lessons I have learned through my adversity.”  As we disciple people, we share what You have taught us – our testimonies.  We are forgiven followers of Jesus who need to speak the true to one another in love, about every aspect of our lives.

Berachah Church, Cheltenham PA

Dear Father,

I thank You for the blog article entitled “What’s Love All About?“, written by Dr. Emilio Marrero of Berachah Church of Cheltenham, PA.

I quote:

So if you must engage in the festivities this Valentines Day do so by sacrificing the desire to satisfy yourself and begin by forgiving someone, reconnecting with a broken relationship, treasuring your spouse as the child of God and really trying to see your loved ones through the eyes of God. Do these things and watch how love will begin to transform you from the inside out and the best thing about it is the price – it will cost you a hardened heart and give you a new outlook.

Bridgeway Community Church, York PA

Tags : 

Dear Father,

I love the tagline for Bridgeway Community Church of York, PA – “The perfect place for imperfect people”.

Throughout the years, the church in America has allowed the world to view the church as the place people who think they are perfect go to worship.  However, the church is the place where imperfect people gather, people who have experienced suffering and brokenness.  The church is the place where people who have messed up their lives go to fellowship with other people – just like themselves.

Thorndale United Methodist Church, Thorndale PA

Tags : 

Dear Father,

I thank You for the words written by Melissa Nyoni on the Thorndale United Methodist Church website.  I thank You for the pleasure of working together in ministry with her before.  Her words are an amazing call for testimonies:

When you choose Jesus, your life gets turned upside down and your potential gets multipled.  Things don’t become perfect.  There will still be pain.  There will still be conflict and struggle.  There will be days when your heart aches and all you can do is reach out for His hand and hang on tight.  But there will also be beauty; there will be redemption; there will be healing; and you will see great things.
