Make a Difference

Make a Difference

V
ery early on Chris Fabry Live! we had a listener suggest we highlight callers who are struggling. We want others to pray for their situations. Now, I didn't want to be a clearinghouse for every malady, and certainly I don't want to do my own "organ recital" (thanks to Warren Wiersbe for that one), but I do think many people want to pray for others who have lost a job or are going through some hard times. They also want to rejoice with other listeners who see positive things happening. Hence, we have come up with Make a Difference. Ron Hutchcraft used to call this, "Go MAD." Go make a difference. So if you are a prayer warrior, if you believe in the power of prayer (and I do because it connects our pain and problems with the Creator of the universe), please join us. And let's celebrate some of the difference-makers in our lives today. Give that person a call or an e-mail--just reach out in some way to say thank you, and who knows? You just may find that you're making a difference to them.

A Hurting Daughter-in-Law
Today we talked with author Liz Curtis Higgs about mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships, and we heard from an anonymous caller with a particularly painful in-law situation. Please ask God to help her lean into her relationship with Him as He guides her through this difficult time, and that He would be working in the hearts of those who need to hear His voice.

Violence in Jos, Nigeria
On last Friday's program we talked with Bulus Galadima, provost of the ECWA Theological Seminary, Jos (JETS) in Jos, Nigeria. He asked that we pray in this way for their current situation involving violence against Christians:

The first thing is pray for us that the Lord is going to work on behalf of these people who are attacking Christians. That they would come to see the light of Christ. And turn to Christians. That’s really the first prayer because those who are doing this—it’s because they do not know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Secondly, pray for the safety of Christians. That the Lord would have mercy and protect us. Many children are suffering and we are praying that the Lord is going to help us Christians to respond in a way that will be honoring to the Lord. That our children would not grow up with bitterness and hatred in their hearts for Moslems. Because if they do not respond in a Christian manner it’s going to continue to prosper hostility and enmity between Christians and Moslems for generations to come.

Pray also for Christian leaders, because there is an attempt to undermine Christian leaders and also to paint Christianity in a bad light. The state we are in and where the seminary is located is called the Plateau state. It has been a flash point for Moslems because they believe this is a stronghold of Christians in Nigeria because of the many Christian organizations headquartered here. They have a direct agenda in order to capture Plateau state to make it into an Islamic state, and we are praying that the Lord will keep this state for himself and continue to use it as a place where the gospel is preached in this country and where training is provided for Christian leaders. Not only for Nigeria but West Africa and all of our continent. So be praying that there would also be a sense of justice in this situation, that those who planned this will be brought to justice.

Cassandra
Pray for 21-year-old Cassandra in Florida. She's a new believer in Christ and is longing to see her friends turn to Him as well. Pray that she would be able to live out her faith in a genuine and winsome way that will draw her friends to a saving faith in Jesus.

Livvy
Please pray for Sonja's daughter, Livvy. We don't know much about her situation, other than that she's experiencing heart failure and is in need of a transplant. Please pray that God will meet the needs of this family and answer this mother's prayer that "my angel gets a heart soon."

A Struggling Pastor
Please pray for a pastor in Florida who has been asked to resign from his position and is also dealing with difficult decisions relating to the care of his aging father. Pray that God would meet each of his needs and bring healing and peace in the midst of the struggles.

A Tragic Loss
There's a family in Chicago grieving today. Al Haymaker was a graduate of the Moody Bible Institute and a 21-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department. He was answering a burglery call early this morning when his squad car hit a tree in the median of Lake Shore Drive and he was killed. Please pray for Al's family and friends who are grieving today. Pray too for all those who, like Al, put themselves in harm's way to protect us--police officers, firefighters, and those serving in the military.

A Divine Appointment
Please pray for our caller Debbie from Iowa, as she tries to connect this Saturday with a young lady desperately in need of God's love. Pray that she would be sensitive to the Lord's leading in this situation, and that much fruit would come through this "divine appointment" that God has placed in her path.

Anonymous Caller, 1/28
Please pray for our anonymous caller today, who feels as though she's "outside looking in at the bakery shop" when it comes to her relationships with God and the people around her. Ask God to reveal Himself to her in a special way, that she would sense His presence and begin to better understand the great depth of His love for her.

Aid for Haiti
Pray for the limited staff at Missionary Flights International. They need endurance. Only a handful of people can work with the red tape and plane upkeep. They have materials and food to send, but it’s painfully slow right now. And pray for the financial resources to make a difference.
