Pray for the Ones Who Lay Down Their Lives for Us

“Greater love has no one than this; that he lay down his life for his friends.”
John 15:13 NIV

The other night at GBC we had the opportunity to hear Eric Horner worship in music. Eric’s ministry is going to our Government’s Military Bases and ministering to our Soldiers, both here and abroad. As many of you know we have a son in the United States Army and are extremely proud of his dedication and commitment to serving the United States of America, for our freedom. Fortunately, he is presently stationed in Fort Gordon, Ga and will be till he finishes his AIT studies at July’s end. God is so gracious to us, He has allowed Clay to remain as close as possible to his family during this critical time in Military. Even though we do not see him every weekend, we know he is safe and in the hands of his Maker. But what about the countless young men and women who are in harm’s way? What about the ones who are miles, even countries away from their loved ones? Just like Clay they are in God’s hands but even more so, they need our continued support.
Let us never forget to remember them in our prayers. Let us never forget to thank them.
Just like our Savior who laid down His life for his friends…someone’s Soldier is laying his or her life down for their country today.

“Brothers, pray for us.” 1 Thess 5:25 NIV

“We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you”
Col 1:3 NIV
