Reminders

We put them on sticky notes so that we don’t forget to pick up groceries on the way home. We write them in planners, so we know what needs to get done. We set them on our phones and computers so we don’t miss a meeting.

Here is a reminder that you might not have set yet, but we hope you will.

Meeting Reminder
Meeting Time: Today
Recurring: Daily
Attendees: You and Jesus

He is the most important figure in all of history, and He wants you to meet with Him. We cannot tell you what is on the agenda. That is between you and God. But we sincerely request that you bring up a topic that breaks our hearts: the worldwide opposition to Jesus.

As we prepare to mark the 250th anniversary of the US this Independence Day with excitement, we also have the burden of a sobering reality. We have a constitutional guarantee of freedom to receive and proclaim Jesus Christ; and it is a right that millions around the world do not have. The Tide ministry has not only written about it, but has spent decades walking alongside believers in countries where following Christ can mean heavy fines, prison, or worse.

If you are like many, when you read the stories and hear the testimonies of those who are persecuted and punished for their faith in Jesus, it can be a moment where you shrug it off and think that it is so overwhelming that there is nothing you can do about it.

The Bible offers a different perspective. It tells us that prayer accomplishes much (James 5:16).

During July, we invite and encourage you to pray for countries where religious freedom is waning or completely unheard of.

Many people like the satisfaction of checking things off their reminder list. We’ve created a small prayer page that has a list of countries that desperately need your prayers, and you can check off

We hope you will visit it, choose one or more countries to pray for, and ask God to protect the body of Christ and seekers and to open those countries to the life-transforming power of Jesus. The financial support of donors is vital to equipping our ‘boots on the ground’ to share God’s Word in the heart language people were born to speak. Prayer support is vital to engaging the spiritual darkness that seeks to prevent the spread of the Gospel and the salvation of souls.

Whether you visit it once or daily, your prayers are greatly appreciated.
