Let us seek Papa God for Praise Tabernacle in Albertville, Alabama
Can I get your attention:
Today a man came to the door he was from a pest control
company we got to talking, it turns out he just was asked to be Pastor of Praise
Tabernacle in Albertville, Alabama. His name is Jeff Slaughter and I would like you
all take some time to Pray for Jeff and His new Church as they all get to know
each other.
Papa God ,
I ask that you Cover
Praise Tabernacle in Albertville and your children there with you loving care
and protection and encircle them with the Blood of Jesus so no harm can come to
them. Give them a vision of what You want them to do in Your Kingdom in these Closing
Days of the Church Age.
In Jesus Name. Amen.

Challenge for Prayer
The need for mature, spiritual church leadershas never been greater. The importance of developing pastors is heightened by rapidly multiplying Pentecostal/charismatic churches. The pastor plays a significant role in Reformed and Lutheran traditions from the Netherlands and Germany. The ability to train and equip quality leaders, however, is far outstripped by the need for them. Pray for:a) The development of effective lay leadership. Only 40% of congregations in the Communion of Churches in Indonesia (PGI) have a pastor. Trained lay leadership is therefore essential.
b) Continuing training and discipleship for church leaders in general and pastors in particular. Many pastors have been serving faithfully despite inadequate preparation; many need training (or re-training), new zeal and, in some cases, to be born of the Spirit for the first time.
c) Theological education and training are vital needs. Pray for these:
i The Bible schools that focus on training pastors for ministry. These are usually less academic, focused on effectively teaching and discipling pastors. Many of these are evangelical and often provide pastors for rural congregations.
ii The more than 100 degree-level seminaries and 22 Christian universities, the majority of which are not evangelical. Pray for an increase in the number of evangelical faculty members and pastors in the large and influential regional Lutheran and Reformed seminaries and universities especially.
iii The 11 evangelical seminaries relating to the Asian Theological Association as well as those in PASTI and PESRATPIM – evangelical and Pentecostal associations, respectively. All are bulging with students and potential. Pray for an outflow of life through graduates to old and new churches and to the mission fields of Indonesia and beyond.
iv A notable example of how academic and practical trainings combine successfully is ETSI, whose graduates claim to have planted over 6,000 churches since 1979, almost all among predominantly Muslim peoples. ETSI has 33 satellite campuses. They focus on academics and require each student to minister in a village and plant a church before graduation.
d) The spiritual quality and commitment of current pastors and spiritual leaders to be high. This is even more vital than discipling and recruiting new pastors and spiritual leaders. Pray especially that current developing leaders might have a willingness to go to the harder areas of the country for Jesus’ sake.

Challenge for Prayer
West Timor:a) A great outpouring of the Spirit in 1965-68 resulted in renewal within the Church and thousands of conversions. About 20% of Timorese were converted; the vast majority stayed with their faith through the decades, despite the changes those decades brought.
b) The wide-scale killing and destruction that followed East Timor’s (Timor Leste) vote to become independent of Indonesia resulted in a number of refugee camps holding thousands of people in West Timor. Today, the remaining camps are populated by ex-militia and their families who cannot go back to Timor Leste. Hundreds of these families are involved in prayer and Bible study groups. Pray that this development would grow and impact many more lives.
c) Sabu people on Sabu Island and West Timor(130,000) are predominantly professing Christians. A significant minority still practice animism; Sabu is a spiritual battleground. There is great hunger for the limited Scriptures available in the local language.
d) The Ambenu Timor and Belu Tetun in West Timor are largely Catholic. Most are nominal, but God is at work among a notable minority of believers.

Sometimes we go through the motions and speak words of thanks even when our heart is not into it. Being thankful for everything including the air you breathe is a worthy endeavor to include in your everyday agenda. God Bless.

Leviticus 25 (New International Version)
Leviticus 25
The Sabbath Year
1 The LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai, 2 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the LORD. 3 For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. 4 But in the seventh year the land is to have a sabbath of rest, a sabbath to the LORD. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. 5 Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest. 6 Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year will be food for you—for yourself, your manservant and maidservant, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, 7 as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.
The Year of Jubilee
8 " 'Count off seven sabbaths of years—seven times seven years—so that the seven sabbaths of years amount to a period of forty-nine years. 9 Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land. 10 Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each one of you is to return to his family property and each to his own clan. 11 The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines. 12 For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields.
13 " 'In this Year of Jubilee everyone is to return to his own property.
14 " 'If you sell land to one of your countrymen or buy any from him, do not take advantage of each other. 15 You are to buy from your countryman on the basis of the number of years since the Jubilee. And he is to sell to you on the basis of the number of years left for harvesting crops. 16 When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few, you are to decrease the price, because what he is really selling you is the number of crops. 17 Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the LORD your God.
18 " 'Follow my decrees and be careful to obey my laws, and you will live safely in the land. 19 Then the land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill and live there in safety. 20 You may ask, "What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not plant or harvest our crops?" 21 I will send you such a blessing in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years. 22 While you plant during the eighth year, you will eat from the old crop and will continue to eat from it until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.
23 " 'The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you are but aliens and my tenants. 24 Throughout the country that you hold as a possession, you must provide for the redemption of the land.
25 " 'If one of your countrymen becomes poor and sells some of his property, his nearest relative is to come and redeem what his countryman has sold. 26 If, however, a man has no one to redeem it for him but he himself prospers and acquires sufficient means to redeem it, 27 he is to determine the value for the years since he sold it and refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it; he can then go back to his own property. 28 But if he does not acquire the means to repay him, what he sold will remain in the possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. It will be returned in the Jubilee, and he can then go back to his property.
29 " 'If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains the right of redemption a full year after its sale. During that time he may redeem it. 30 If it is not redeemed before a full year has passed, the house in the walled city shall belong permanently to the buyer and his descendants. It is not to be returned in the Jubilee. 31 But houses in villages without walls around them are to be considered as open country. They can be redeemed, and they are to be returned in the Jubilee.
32 " 'The Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the Levitical towns, which they possess. 33 So the property of the Levites is redeemable—that is, a house sold in any town they hold—and is to be returned in the Jubilee, because the houses in the towns of the Levites are their property among the Israelites. 34 But the pastureland belonging to their towns must not be sold; it is their permanent possession.

Proverbs 9 (New International Version)
Proverbs 9
Invitations of Wisdom and of Folly
1 Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn out its seven pillars.
2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table.
3 She has sent out her maids, and she calls from the highest point of the city.
4 "Let all who are simple come in here!" she says to those who lack judgment.
5 "Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of understanding.
7 "Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult; whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse.
8 Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you.
9 Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.
10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For through me your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.
12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer."
13 The woman Folly is loud; she is undisciplined and without knowledge.
14 She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city,
15 calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way.
16 "Let all who are simple come in here!" she says to those who lack judgment.
17 "Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!"
18 But little do they know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of the grave.
