Jim has returned home from a ministry trip in Pakistan. We were blessed to teach/preach, encourage, evangelize, distribute Scriptures, train pastors and leaders and visit the poor and sick in their homes. Please ask the Lord for His grace for the Feroze family and ministry and the church John serves in there. Pray for conversions and grace and growth through the ministry of the word. Pray for Elizabeth who professed faith in Christ and for the Hakim family and their house church family. Please pray for Ashuman, a special needs boy. Pray for Asia Bibi a Christian just released from prison after 10 years on condemned row for blasphemy charges which have been dropped-for her safety and for her asylum-See: https://edition.cnn.com/2018/10/31/asia/pakistan-asia-bibi-blasphemy-intl/index.html and https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35910331 .

“And also I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18 NKJV
____________________________
"There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God"   (Hebrews 4:9).

“God has provided a Sabbath, and some must enter into it. Those to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief; therefore, that Sabbath remains for the people of God. David sang of it; but he had to touch the minor key, for Israel refused the rest of God. Joshua could not give it, nor Canaan yield it: it remains for believers. Come, then, let us labor to enter into this rest. Let us quit the weary toil of sin and self. Let us cease from all confidence, even in those works of which it might be said, "They are very good." Have we any such? Still, let us cease from our own works, as God did from His. Now let us find solace in the finished work of our LORD Jesus. Everything is fully done: justice demands no more. Great peace is our portion in Christ Jesus. As to providential matters, the work of grace in the soul and the work of the LORD in the souls of others, let us cast these burdens upon the LORD and rest in Him. When the LORD gives us a yoke to bear, He does so that by taking it up we may find rest. By faith we labor to enter into the rest of God, and we renounce all rest in self-satisfaction or indolence. Jesus Himself is perfect rest, and we are filled to the brim in Him.”

-C.H. Spurgeon  English Preacher  1834-1892
