Praise Him For:

• 190 multicultural persons (i.e. Beth Alwood, Raji Liionaiava, Marcey King, Chantalle, Tina and
Tony Shultz) who made a Christian commitment at the 16 – 18 April, 2010, Greater Love Logan,
Qld. Big Event Crusade with Evangelist Bill Newman and gospel singer Robyn Green.

• Danganbarr, an Aboriginal woman leader who shared “woman’s business” with Jenny Macklin, a
minister in the QLD government. Jenny Macklin cried during Danganbarr's sharing. Many people
came up to Danganbarr after and said their heart had been touched by the way she had shared.

“and Peter remembered..and he went out and wept bitterly.” Matthew 26:75 (KJV)

Please join our confession: Father God, O, how much I sin and how little I weep. Please soften my

Amen

Dear Prayer Supporter,

“What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me?: I shall lift up the cup of salvation, and
call upon the name of the Lord.” Psalm 116:12-13 (NASB)

You may have asked the question: What can I give to God for all that He has given to me? It is the same as
saying, what present can I buy for someone who has everything? If we think in material terms, then the
answer will be nothing. God is no man’s debtor. We can never out give God.

The writer of Psalm 116 gives us an answer. He realizes that we do have something to give. Not in material
terms but in something more personal and long lasting. He will praise God for His salvation and will call
upon His name. Firstly, there is gratitude and praise to God for the gift of salvation. Then there is faith and
trust in Him who gives this salvation. The Psalmist establishes a relationship with God based on God’s
goodness and is trust in that goodness. Relationship, in these terms, is more valuable than any material
gift we can give, either to God or to others.

As you pray for A.C.T.S., please be aware that your faith and trust in God is more valuable than you could
imagine. As Hebrews 11:6a says “”Without faith it is more impossible to please God..” There is no better
way of pleasing God than through our faith and trust in Him. Source: Bible Society, N.S.W. April 2010
