Prayer for souls to get saved

I was out witnessing last night and had a conversation with a man. I have his name in my phone which is not on me right know. He had 2 friends whom died due to drug overdoses and he was searching for answers. I challenged him in love with the reality of his state, and the good news of Christ. After we spoke for a while I prayed for him. I gave him a gospel of John and a bible tract (One Minute after you die by Erwin Lutzer) to read and he said he would read them. Pray that he will get saved.

Random Thoughts on the Year Ahead

Please consider this post as being intentionally below our usual front page standards. “Intentionally,” because we’re coming off of a holiday and I haven’t completely taken my heels off my desk yet.

What I aim to do here is share some pretty much random thoughts on the year past and the one head from a SharperIron point of view.

Prayer for militant KJVO pastor

A certain KJVO pastor has been quite militant with me after his discovery of my web ministry CERM. I have tried to completely ignore him, but he keeps on sending me messages. I’d call it personal harassment, but then again I have a public ministry and he can say all that he wants. Please pray for this man to realize is sin, and very divisive and combative spirit against me. I have tried to tell him I am not interested in debating but he keep son challenging me.

Need things to come together soon

Friends,

I am being slammed with 1000 details and emergencies right now. I really need things to a). come together b). get resolved and/or c). slow down. Please pray for me. Some of these emergencies and details are personal, and some in the church family, and some in the broader community. Pray for me to be unburied soon.

Thanks,

Mike Durning

Grandma rushed to the Hospital!

Just found out my Grandma was found unconscious this morning and they found a big brain tumor. She is now being taken to Fargo. Please pray I am not sure of her spiritual condition. She made a profession many years ago and was even baptized. Only God knows.

Backpacking or Ultralight Backpacking

Anyone do either?

I am specifically interested if anyone has done any ultralight backpacking and what you used/made.

I will be backpacking next year for 5-6 days with my Dad in the Grand Tetons. I want to travel light so any help in the way of stoves, tent, pack would be especially helpful. I have looked into a few alcohol stoves, and would be open to making my own tent/pack.

Thanks

Church Brochures, Any Suggestions?

I am currently redesigning our church brochure and am wondering if anyone has a printing or design company that they’ve used in the past and would recommend. We want to be able to use our own photos, not some stock stuff, and we’d prefer to work with a Christian company that understands the nature of what the church is trying to accomplish.
