Prayer Connection

Sunday, July 23
I am struck again that God really wants his bride to be united. "That there may be no division in the body..." (1 Corinthians 12:25). That was also Jesus' final exhortation to his disciples in John 17. Are we united? "What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you?" (James 4:1). The early church dealt with this just as much as we do today. Where do you see division? How can you help heal that today?

Pray for Andrew and Angie Sutton, part of the MAF staff assigned to Haiti. Like the rest of their team, Suttons and their four girls recently relocated to Nampa.
