Dear A.C.T.S. Action Prayer Partner,

We thank God and you so much for all your action prayer and help. You are always willing to pray there for A.C.T.S. whenever we ask you. For some people being in ministry is a way of living and serving the Lord. Thanks for being such a kind-hearted person, especially for Aboriginals 4 – 14 year olds. Surely you are precious in God’s sight.

You had the call: “For many are called but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14)

You were chosen: “You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you..that you should go and bring fruit, and that your fruit should remain.” (John 15:16)

You have a commitment: “…God has chosen, you…” (1st Corinthians 1:27-29)

“You have made a choice: “…choose you this day whom you will serve.” (Joshua 24:15)

We thank you for being God’s servant during these terrible times.
