“I wanted to pass on this blessing of mentoring to you. This is from a girl who didn’t have anything to wear to her prom and has been suicidal many times. Here is the email I had Sunday. After over 300 conversations, she is coming along in the right direction. I wanted to share this blessing of how God knows when we need a little encouragement as we serve.” (mentor)

“HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!
You’re just like a mother to me. I wish I could send you flowers or something nice. I hope you have a great day.

♥ Thank you so much for all that you do!

Do you know anyone who has been afflicted with cancer? If so, then you must be familiar with that feeling — the dreaded fear of the unknown. There are many hard questions, many emotions, many thoughts to grapple with. When Katherine heard that her husband, Dave, was diagnosed with cancer, she was filled with fear. Her family went through excruciating moments: rounds of treatment, cancer recurrence, and several hopeless nights. Their church community rallied together, sharing in their tears and sorrows, and helping them wrestle with purpose, hope, and heaven. Katherine shares her journey through their arduous battle with cancer, and how she faced death and how she found hope and peace amidst the storm.

If I asked your friends to describe you, what would they say? And if I asked you to describe yourself, would your answers match up with those of your friends? Consistency in character is certainly no easy feat; it is difficult to keep up one’s persona especially when there is no one watching. Pastor Nate Larkin lived a double life — despite a floundering marriage and a growing inclination to feed his porn addiction, he worked long and hard to protect the reputation that he so carefully built. He knew that the moment his scandal broke out, his ministry would be finished. Little did he know that the trials he was going through were opportunities to build up his character. Watch video:  http://powertochange.com/iamsecond/protecting-my-reputation-dvid/

“By one of those lovely God incidents, we have a missionary friend living there AND in the same city! He finds it very difficult on his own. He can now speak the language reasonable and also teaches English but as a Christian, it is very difficult to witness and one has to even be careful about emails and all writing. I am sure my friend will be pleased to contact my mentee, who seems to be really wanting to get right with God.
That has really made my day spending an hour or so getting that sorted before we set off for holidays. I do thank God (almost) every day for this door of opportunity for ministry that he has opened up for me.
Every Blessing in Him,
Kathryn (mentor)

Please join us in prayer today.

1. Please pray for the 35 Day Challenge that hundreds of people are engaged in.   Center Street Church in Calgary is encouraging their small groups and many of their congregation members to go through this training so they can share their faith with three people in their life.   
2. Please join us in praying for the development of TheLife.com.    The Life calls people to live their lives under the Lordship of Christ, and to share their faith and to inspire Christians to do the same.  
3. Please pray for the partnership between Center Street Church in Calgary and Power to Change.  Together, we are working on an outreach campaign during the 100th Calgary Stampede that is taking place this summer.  Center Street would like to train 2000 believers to share their faith, to create an outreach strategy throughout the city and mobilize up to 300 mentors to make a significant impact in the city.  Please join us in prayer.
4. Please join us in praying for funds.  As we strive to mobilize thousands of people to share their faith with millions, we need funds and resources.
5. Please pray as we work towards our goal in the next several months to have one million people visit powertochange.com and see 5,000 people accept Christ each month.

Have a great week!

“I wrote a prayer request 2 1/2 years ago and you answered me.  So much has happened since then.  I went ahead and divorced my husband. After praying for 20 years for him to change and stop the abuse I gave up.  Throughout the 20 years it was a cycle of abuse then an apology and a promise to change but with every passing year the abuse would get more severe and then also was directed at our children.  Myself and the children had so many emotional scars and the pain was at times unbearable.  My son refused to have any type of relationship with his father but the girls 11 and 9 at the time had to visit their dad.  They would cry and  ”throw up” at times before they left.  But then something happened.  He changed.  They now want to go with him.  He told me he really has found the Lord and I believe him although part of me is a little hesitant.  Throughout the years he told me he wanted to get back together.  I have such an overwhelming desire to do this.  I can’t believe I could feel this way.  Please pray for my family.”

 ♥ This is a real life story of a hurting family who is finding hope and healing and restoration through our God. I would reiterate what she has asked for at the end of her comment, ‘Please pray for my family.’ Let’s join together and pray for them before we close this email. ♥
