She started her live video with a sweet smile. I thought she would share a quick song with us but instead she began to speak in a tone that signaled that she was hurting. I listened attentively as she began to tell us about a friend and coworker who was on stage in Texas about to speak when she was ushered off stage and delivered the heart wrenching news that her daughter had been killed in a car accident.
As I watched her brokenness as she shared her burden for her friend it brought back so many memories of how overwhelming ministry can be at times. There are so many hurting people in this world who just want to reach out to those of us who share Jesus. Whether it be for special prayer for themselves or a loved one, when someone ask for prayer, we pray for them. It may be right then or later but we gladly pray. We consider it an honor and a privilege. She shared with us that she prayed for each need. She assured us that she hears us. I was deeply touched by her sincerity.
As tears filled her eyes she shared how blessed their ministry has been in the last weeks and she said she was so grateful to the Lord for the exposure they've received. It's new to them. But, I don't think they know just how talented and anointed they really are and I hope they stay that way. Humility goes a long way when trying to reach the lost. So often the business of running a ministry interferes with the Lord's leading. My prayer for them is that they continue to be ministry minded as their popularity grows. I believe they will.
So my prayer request to you today is that you earnestly remember the Jordan Family Band as they make Jesus famous. Pray with me that God will enrich their spirits and give them a strong love for his people. Pray that he will bless them financially with the resources they need to travel and bless others. Pray for their success in all their endeavors to share the gospel. Pray that they stay grounded in the Word of God. And mostly, pray for sweet Randa and her friend who lost her daughter.
I believe the holy God of heaven and earth has heard this prayer today. Please say a prayer for all who have a heart for the ministry of the gospel of Christ. Thank you for praying.
