A
week before Prayer day Livija Lame asked all the leaders of
sister departments to come together to talk about arrangements
for Prayer day. Each of leaders decided to prepare information
about one of continents and present it on the day of Prayer.
On
6th of November sisters of Riga churches gathered in Baptist
Union House. We had a special guest - missionary Linda Guy from
New Zealand. On the table there was a candlestick with 7 candles
in it and at the wall there was a world map.
The
day started with praising, exalting the Lord. Then we listened
to Linda Guy. She was speaking about importance and meaning
of this day, about all the needs and her home land. Then the
first candle was lighted.
After
that, sisters one after the other presented each continent:
they showed them on the map, told about Christians' life there,
persecutions, and prayer needs. That way all the candles got
lighted. Then we all split in several groups and we prayed of
these needs. We did donation of Prayer day. By the end were
singing praise songs to the Lord and united in testimonial prayer.
That
was unforgettable day! A blessed time.
God, keep us and hold together for your Kingdom!
Sincerely,
Anda Kostanda, Latvia
