1. ~~ ** Mini-Reflection ** ~~

"What else can I say? There isn't enough time to tell about Gideon, Barak. Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets. Their faith helped them conquer kingdoms and because they did right, God made promises to them. They closed the jaws of lions, and put out raging fires and escaped from the swords of their enemies. Although they were weak, they were given the strength and power to chase foreign armies away." (Hebrews 11:32-34.)

What was the source and target of their faith? This week's Weekly Reflection explores that.

2. ~~ ** Cruising Christian Cyberspace! ** ~~

Our web site feature of the week is

(http://www.readcarryshare.org)

The Pocket New Testament League contacted us to request that we change an old hyperlink on the Cruising Christian Cyberspace page of our web site. The representative also told us, "Also the focus of our ministry has gone back to its original roots of: Providing witnessing tools to those that become members of The League by committing to Reading a portion of God's Word each day, Carrying it with you, and Sharing it with others as the Lord gives opportunity."

This communication sparked our interest in seeing what the Pocket New Testament League has been doing since our last feature and we were delighted enough to again bring your attention to it. The revised web site features: Become a free member; history; a newsletter; great stories; prayer request and praises; League events; member forum and a free correspondence course.

3. ~~ ** Prayergear.com Product and Service Updates ** ~~

We plan, Lord willing, to reopen our online store with updated products by the end of this month. Your purchases finance the cost of our ministries and help promote the Good News of our Lord, the Christ. We ask for your continued prayers during this period of transition as we continue to evaluate our ministry focus and work.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

4. ~~ ** Let us know! ** ~~

We aim to make this an interactive newsletter and are delighted to publish "guest" Reflections, commentaries and responses.

As you will read below, this Weekly Reflection suggests a personalization of scripture. Try out the suggested exercise in reading the scriptures. We are very interested in your experiences. So, please let us know!

5. ~~ This week's Weekly Reflection follows below ~~

I call upon you all to fervently pray for the continuation of this ministry and our sharing together. Your prayers are vital and powerful. We continue to pray for you as well. Remember to forward this newsletter to others whom you believe would be interested and encourage them to subscribe. That's the only way this email ministry grows.

In Christ's service and love,
John
