Broken Pastor: Slack about Asking for Prayer

Slack about Asking for Prayer

Hey Prayer team!
Wow, I’m getting slack about sending out requests. My bad. The good news in that is that Crosspoint is beginning to intercede on its own behalf and for others. But we still need your prayers!

Pray for us to labor well in our season of prayer and fasting prior to Easter.
Pray for the lost in our city to come to faith in Christ. God is REALLY moving in Steven my soon-to-be-former-pagan friend.
I’m having lunch with Edward this week. Pray for an open door to tell him how much I need Jesus.
Pray for God to clearly call deacons to serve Crosspoint.
Pray also for wisdom about starting our first mercy ministry for the city. We are praying about starting a Jobs for Life program.
Pray for our daughter church Emmanuel and Pastor José – all the funding to be pledged.

Thanks for praying!
Graced
Jim

Broken and Healing

Start of Broken Pastor Blog
In 2001, when email was on the edge of ministry, I began asking for prayer from 300 people who would pray for our start up church.

It was a 'low guilt' commitment. Pray when I send an email. After 2 failed attempts, I was broken and desperate but people were praying when I asked.

Out of the ashes of those failings God the King started Crosspoint in March 2003. And He keeps breaking me and convincing me of His goodness for my own good.

So I keep looking for ways to get out the message that even though you are more broken than you realized, you're way more loved than you'd ever imagine.
