Day 40–February 9, 2020

Dear friends,

On Thursday, April 9, together we complete the journey of 100 Days of Unceasing Prayer and Shared Scripture. Across the territory we have heard the stories of people being inspired by what they are seeing God do in and through The Salvation Army. People have bonded together in prayer as we lifted up the various ministry expressions through daily, focused prayer requests. We have learned much more about the communities in which we serve.

Thank you for sharing this journey. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for listening to God as he has spoken through his Word in the shared Scripture readings from Genesis to Revelation.

We want to also say thank you to those who have already completed the survey and shared with us what God has been impressing upon your hearts and minds through this journey. For those who haven’t had the opportunity yet, we encourage you to take some time during these days of “staying home” to share your thoughts.

As we began the 100 Days journey, none of us could have ever imagined that we would be in the midst of a pandemic at the end of it. We are confident that God knew what lay ahead. This discipline of prayer and shared Scripture has been used by God to prepare us for these days, and the days that will follow. As we spend these days “social distancing,” let’s remain committed to prayer for one another, and for Canada and Bermuda. Let’s remember to continue to spend time in Scripture.

We continue to count it a privilege to be partners in the gospel (Philippians 1:3-5) and together anticipate all that God has in mind to do in and through his Army of salvation.Yours in Christ,

Floyd and Tracey Tidd, Commissioners
Territorial Leaders, Canada and Bermuda

Day 40–February 9, 2020

100 Days

Unceasing Prayer

Ministry Expression
The Salvation Army Centre of Hope, London, Ont.

Praise
God is in control while we aren’t, and is present in the relationship building going on in the centre between clients and staff and also between the staff teams.

Petition
Pray for our chaplain who is about to start an Alpha program and that clients and staff alike will attend and sense who Christ is and understand that he can be in their lives.

Intercession
Pray for people around our building who are “living rough.” Pray for their health and well-being and that they would find the right place to live.

Shared Scripture

Passage
2 Kings 25

Reflect
The fall of Jerusalem was punishment for Israel’s sin. Do you believe God uses disasters of different kinds to punish people today? Who would you warn if you could?
