Join Us In Prayer
July 2022
“Moses’ father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard about everything God had done for Moses and his people, the Israelites. He heard especially about how the Lord had rescued them from Egypt.”
Exodus 18:1
The story of what God had done for the Israelites to release them from the captivity of the Egyptians had reached Moses’ father-in-law, Jethro, long before they re-connected face-to-face in the wilderness. We feel much like Moses, witnessing the Good Shepherd orchestrating connection after connection to multiply the shepherd leadership message, and then praying that you will be as delighted as Jethro was when you hear the reports of what God is doing with, in, and through the shepherd leadership message and Presence Point.
It is such a privilege to have you on this journey with us!
Thank you for your faithful prayers for the multiplication of this message and for those with whom we partner.
What Happened in June
“Moses told his father-in-law everything the Lord had done to Pharaoh and Egypt on behalf of Israel. He also told about all the hardships they had experienced along the way and how the Lord had rescued his people from all their troubles. Jethro was delighted when he heard about all the good things the Lord had done for Israel as he rescued them from the hand of the Egyptians.”
Exodus 18:8-9
What's Next
“Praise the Lord,” Jethro said, “for he has rescued you from the Egyptians and from Pharaoh. Yes, he has rescued Israel from the powerful hand of Egypt! I know now that the Lord is greater than all other gods, because he rescued his people from the oppression of the proud Egyptians.”
