Speaker: Annie Efaw, Pennsboro UMC
Annie Efaw: Hello, I'm Pastor Annie Efaw with the Pennsboro United Methodist Church. This year, we joined with the conference and conferences across the nation and around the world in the breakthrough prayer initiative. And I am glad to say that since doing so, I have seen the Holy Spirit at work have witnessed the the hand of the Lord at work in our lives and in the life of the church. And for that, I am grateful the church here at Pins, bro has a statement or a mission statement that goes growing within, reaching out, making a difference. So for the first few weeks, I created a prayer based upon that mission statement, put it on a little postcard with a picture of our church and handed them out. But I also shared it in our bulletin to which we prayed it each week. So I would like for you to join me now for a moment of prayer as we pray the breakthrough prayer that started the initiative at Pennsboro United Methodist Church that continues even today as we should prayers, breakthrough prayers um asking the will of the Lord to be done, that our hearts be opened. And that the Holy Spirit descend upon us and make new for us and in the world, a wonderful message of the good news of Christ Jesus. So let us pray God, we humbly surrender to your will. Open our minds to know where we need to grow and open our eyes as we reach out, representing Jesus and our community and all things, let our spirit join with your spirit, making a difference in the world. Amen. Thank you for letting me to share. And um I pray that all is well with you in the continuing of the breakthrough prayer initiative. As we earnestly seek the presence of God in our lives, go forth and make new disciples for Jesus Christ, for the transformation of the world.
