During the Sunday morning service, Tony Jones told us that the men that were praying on Monday nights would like for the whole body to participate in covering Mike and Lisa, Michael and Joe Joe and the other African missionaries in prayer and fasting.Fasting can come in many forms. Part of it is a sacrifice, part of it is overcoming the flesh, part of it is just a reminder to pray with a purpose. Knowing Michael's struggles to find as bountiful supply of Dr. Pepper as is available in the United States, I would like to suggest that every time we see a Dr. Pepper commercial or reach for a Dr. Pepper, we pray for those in Africa in December. If God leads you to drink a different beverage as a matter of sacrifice, those 23 flavors will still be there in January. This may be a bigger sacrifice for some us than it is for others.
