Hi all,

I wanted to stop in and mention how crucial it is to pray for other people...even the ones you admire for being strong. I think the ones we see as strong are the ones Satan is going after the hardest right now.

Leo Schreven's death came as quite a shock to me. The man changed my life. His death has changed my life as well. I never thought to pray for him personally, because I always saw him as one of the strongest people I know, but I did pray for his ministry several times.

I can't even begin to imagine how relentlessly the accuser was going after him.

May he rest in peace.

I hope you all have been well.

Many blessings to all,
~Lainie

So very true. I had actually thought about this a few weeks ago. I felt the Lord had put it on my heart to pray for my pastor. He is a lay pastor and devotes so much of his time to the church. The Holy Spirit just implressed upon me to pray for him and his family and to even give him a call to see how he was doing. So many times we forget that they are also in need of someone to talk too. We think of other members and call or visit them but rarely our pastors. Think of the burden that they have ministering to the congregation. He was very appreciative of the call as he had been dealing with his youngest son and a medical problem. God is so good because his problem was one that my family had some experience with. I was able to give him some advice and encouragement.

Elijah I never heard of the man and I am so sorry for his family. I know that they must be agonizing and we don't know if they are in shock. It saddens me dearly because none of know where he will reside when YAHSHUA comes. It is sad that anyone will point a finger at any one who is dead. If they felt he was wrong they should have wrote him. I would if I think you have done me wrong. I have written to many ministers that I went to school with or worked with as a former Bible Worker. I am praying and I praying for his family. Please pray for me as I do for you!

Happy Sabbath and blessings with love,
