Church, here is an update from Mike Seaver at Sovereign Grace Church of the Lowcountry in Charleston, SC.
Thanks so much for praying!
We have a collaborative effort of several local churches called 1Charleston that we have been doing for about a year. We are in great position to mobilize (and we have been mobilizing) and we are calling all Charleston pastors across racial and denominational lines to pray together. We are gathering on Tuesday night, June 30th in Emanuel AME Church. Please pray for that time together.
We are then calling on folks from the city to have a multi-ethnic prayer service on Wednesday. We are going to host it in the First Baptist Church of Charleston which is the first Southern Baptist Church in existence and it began in large part because of slavery. We may be having a foot-washing and prayer time where white folks can specifically wash the feet of black folks. Racism is a great area of repentance needed in our locale.
So here is how you can pray for us:
- We really need strength. We are going hard, we are tired, we are street preaching and people are coming to know Jesus (15 came to know the Lord 2 nights ago). But we need sustaining strength from the Lord.
- Pray for these 1Charleston events listed above. We already had one prayer service last Thursday and the Lord graciously moved.
- Pray for SGC of the Lowcountry. Pray that we are a faithful witness in our community.
Thanks so much, my friends, and please pass this on to other guys and other churches as you feel led. We need the prayers of the saints desperately right now.
God bless,
Mike Seaver
