BOOKLET – “Seek God for the City 2007”

Now, more than ever, it’s time to seek God’s face. Pray God’s highest hopes for your city’s deepest needs. The 40 days leading to Palm Sunday is an ideal time to pursue God’s promises for you and your city.
“We’ve worked with friends from many traditions in the Body of Christ to prepare this guide. Our prayer is that God will give you a lasting, practical passion to see Christ be recognized among all and received by many in your city and throughout the world,” writes Waymaker’s Steve Hawthorne.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Brad Koenig, the behind-the-scenes guy who does all our copy editing for Missions Catalyst, is a great encourager. I hope you have at least one of those on your team or in your life! He introduced me to a simple tool that can allow me, too, to bring a little sunshine into the lives of others. It’s one of those greeting card web sites. Take a look!
