A Challenge To Pray For A Friend...
Posted by: Michael W. Smith

Sometimes it’s easy to “look back” and see what God was doing.

I want to encourage us to “look forward” at what God might be doing.

One of the things I’m looking forward to is - - being with Max Lucado on the Cruise to Alaska.

Max is in the editing process for his new book - OUTLIVE YOUR LIFE

I am “looking forward” to the fact that some of us might be among the first ones to hear teaching from this book.

Here is my request today - - - Could we get 25 people from my site dedicated/committed to pray for Max today – and everyday for the next two weeks?  I know how Max and an his team pour over every word of his books.  I don’t know how long his edit process will last - - but can we support him for the next two weeks?

I can’t think of a better gift I could give to my friend - - than for a bunch of us to join together to lift him up in his editing process.  If you’ll commit to doing this – sign up below.

Make a commitment to pray by leaving your comments below and we'll make sure that they get to Max directly.

Thank you for your prayers.

This is a ROI - 2009-11-03
ROI in marketing means the Return on Invesment that one can get. Max invest his time in searching what God wants him to write about, and that ends up enriching our lives. I surely can invest some minutes to return the favor. Blessings and wisdom from above to you
