Kingdoms and Castles

We visited a castle (replica) on our day off last week.  It is a marketing plan by a company selling personal products.  It was interesting for both of us.

As you can see, what attracted Lorne was slightly different from what captured Kathy-Lu’s fancy.  Getting our photo beside a palace guard figure and eating afternoon tea was something that we both enjoyed.

It may be similar for people who are learning about God’s kingdom.  They may feel drawn toward certain aspects, and less so by others.  Often there is an attraction toward things that bring personal benefit.  But all those different characteristics of the kingdom become unified in Christ.

Please pray that people will be pulled toward Christ and not seek to use Him to gain personal advantage.

Praise and Prayer

• The Leadership Team of the Baozhong Alliance Church meets the first Sunday of each month.  Please ask God to give them wisdom as they manage resources and decide church priorities.
• Please continue to pray for God to add people to the Baozhong Alliance Church fellowship.
• A financial subsidy is still being provided for the Baozhong Alliance Church.  This is needed because local giving has not yet reached the level necessary to support ministries.  Gifts to the “Hidden in Plain Sight” Partner Fund provide the resources to meet this need.  Please pray for local giving to grow and for God’s provision in the meantime.
