This Week @ CLC - August 31, 2010
‘Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tyre?’ Corrie Ten Boom
USA –Earlier this year, CLC Publications released the book A Passion for Prayer by Tom Elliff, past president of the Southern Baptist Convention and a former missionary. Of all the disciplines of the Christian life, surely prayer is the most neglected. Yet if Jesus’ earthly life was so saturated with prayer, shouldn’t our lives follow suit? A Passion for Prayer is a great resource for all who would have a deeper communion with God and it includes the principles, challenges and disciplines of prayer.
Tom wrote to us this last week asking for our prayers for a big project, and we would like to share his letter with you and ask you to join us in praying.
“You will be pleased to know that a foundation has decided to purchase 10,000 copies of A Passion for Prayer, with the primary intent of placing them, cost free, in the hands of seminary and college students, as well as missionary personnel. We have already directed a shipment of 1,500 of the books to one seminary, and yesterday I met with the college dean of another seminary that will soon be requesting a similar number! The only request of the foundation is that the recipients agree to read the book within two months of obtaining it. It appears that on many occasions, the book distribution will follow either chapel or classroom addresses on the subject of prayer. I am excited to partner with CLC and these other entities in the distribution of a book of this very crucial nature and would appreciate your prayers as we seek to be good stewards of this endeavor.
Rejoice evermore!”
Tom Elliff
