april prayer update

On My Heart

On March 3rd I was able to present a grief seminar to people from Lebanon churches. About 70 attended and people's feedback was very positive. I'm happy to say that both the message and the seminar are now available on my website.

            My message covers two topics: How our faith in God can give us a helpful perspective as we grieve and how hope can be a sustaining force during our most difficult times.

            The workshop answers addresses these issues: What grief is like, whether it is normal to experience a variety of troubling symptoms during the grieving process, what happens when we don’t process our feelings and how to best help someone after a loss by what to say to them and what to do for them?

            I encourage you to let people who are grieving or people who have struggled with grief know about this resource. Furthermore, I encourage you to check it out. None of us go through life without experiencing loss and no one can say that none of our loved ones will ever experience a severe loss. How we or our loved ones deal with loss is vital. To find the message and the workshop, go to: heartofrevival.net ->resources ->video messages. My next live grief seminar is at Freedom Hill Church in Sweet Home (2470 Main St.) on April 28 at 1 pm.      

Speaking

            I love developing new messages and have recently written one on Psalm 23 and one on Matthew 11:28-30 on rest in Christ. I’m thankful for lots of opportunities to proclaim his Word in April.
