Welcome to Wednesday night Bible study. Did you bring your Bible to church tonight?

Anybody? Why don't you just lift it up? If you got your Bible with you,

it's Wednesday night. Come on. Amen. That's good to see tonight. I got to thank my brother

Santi for the introduction. If we haven't met before, though, my name is Kaden. I'd love to get to know you

after this service tonight. I'm humbled and honored to fill in for Pastor Skip tonight. Come on,

can we give some love to Pastor Skip in this place? He ministers to us so faithfully out of the

pulpit every single week, but what he's able to do through the pulpit is only possible because of who he is

when he isn't occupying it. So we're just thankful for him as a person, as a follower of Christ,

for dedicating his life to teaching the Word of God. And he and his wife, Leni, they're on their way

right now to Brussels, Belgium, to partner with Franklin Graham

for a week of ministry as they take the gospel around the world. Come on, how good is that?

And so, before we begin tonight, I just think it's fitting to pray for them and pray over the work

that they're doing out there.

Would you pray with me?

Father God, we thank you so much, Jesus, for the ministry that you have gifted to skip and lend you.

Jesus, on their travels, we ask that you would bless them, protect them, keep them safe, Lord.

We pray, Lord, that by their partnership with

Franklin Graham, you would work mightily in Belgium, Lord. We pray that the gospel that goes out from

Calvary Albuquerque and the gospel that goes out in Brussels, Belgium would be received, and that many would come to know you and accept you

as Lord and Savior. Father, rest them up as ministers to us as a body and bring them back to us in due time.

We love you, Jesus. We thank you for this time that we have tonight. And it's in your mighty name

that we say. Amen.
