A great workshop tackles a glorious subject

This week we're headed to the International Soul Winning Workshop in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We're excited about it because the theme this year is "Prayer: Our Declaration of Dependence."

It all begins on Thursday, March 27th and ends on the 29th at the Tulsa Fairgrounds. Our Prayer Ministry makes the trip each year, sets up a display booth (along with hundreds of others) and invites attendees to our own Prayer Enrichment Workshop in the fall.

Although we go each year, this trip will be special. Why?

Because of the emphasis on prayer. We're excited about it because everything good starts with a prayer.

Don't believe it? Note what Jesus' own brother said about it: "Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights..." (James 1:16-17 NIV).

Then he said, "You do not have, because you do not ask God." (James 4:2b NIV).

Wow! That's short and pointed. Without prayer, we lack. With it, we soar. Doesn't that make you want to learn more about these amazing promises?

See you at Tulsa.
