We give praise for the way God is working in our churches across the MidSouth District:

• Pastor Daron in Waverly reports: We baptized another 7 people in the month of December which takes our year-to-date baptism count up to 25! God is continuing to move in the life of WCN! We praise the Lord for His faithfulness!
• Pastor Rudy and Pastor Herika report: Nashville Glencliff Hispanic — 171 in attendance December. The reason I point this out is because Glencliff Hispanic planted Trinity Hispanic just a few years ago and Trinity averaged 120 in December.

Praise the Lord for the ways in which God is at work!

Pastor Elijah Friedeman rolled out a 5-year vision at Foundry. The vision is to baptize 300 people who have been transformed by Jesus in the next 5 years. It’s a big vision for us!

God is at work around our district. Keep praying! Keep serving! Keep trusting!

• Here is a prayer from Lectio 365 (Prayer App): Creator God, I ask you for meteorological miracles — an urgent change to the Santa Ana winds, the visitation of rain. Protect and strengthen first responders and firefighters working ceaselessly to quell the flames… Renew them I pray with supernatural strength.
