On Tuesday night of this week, I was honored to speak at the closing session of the Alabama State Convention. While at the meeting, I reconnected with many friends from my days growing up on Sand Mountain. I also enjoyed seeing several of my friends from Samford University. I laughed as I recalled fun days with these people. I was also moved as I reflected back to those days of spiritual formation in my life. God uses many tools in our lives to shape us and people are a major force.

Here are a couple of prayer needs from the mission field that are on my heart today. Paul Negrut, in Romania, is doing spiritual battle over some issues at Emanuel University. Pray for him as he confronts enemies of the work at the school there in the city of Oradea.

In addition, Paul Hagelgans, in Central Asia asks that we pray for the Christmas project in Kazakhstan. He is leading the effort of several local churches to assemble 10,000 Christians to take a copy of the gospel of Luke to ten people over the Christmas season. They are seeking to touch 100,000 lives with the true story of Christmas. Pray for them and this timely endeavor.

A team of folks from our church and three other local churches leaves for Indonesia this Saturday. Pray for them as they travel and do the work of the Gospel.

All these people are influencing others around the world. Who will be in your path today that you can impact? Look around to see whom the Father can touch through you with His message of hope.

Pastor Ted Traylor
