A Call To Prayer - January 2021 Newsletter

My dear church family, 

Last Wednesday, our United States of America went through a horrific ordeal where the Capitol was breached by rioting individuals and eventually killing people.   In response, the house of Congress of the United States is in the process of taking a vote to invoke the 25th Amendment and if unsuccessful, will take a vote to impeach the President.   

Our nation is hurting and no amount of transition is going to bring and usher peace.   Only Jesus can offer peace and hope to every individual of our beloved country.   This is one of the many promises Jesus gives to those follow Him.   He said in John 14:27:

A CALL TO PRAYER

Beginning today, I am calling our congregation to set a time to pray for our nation.  Everyday let's pause for a few minutes at 1:20pm until 1/20 (January 20) when the new president is sworn in.   

• Pray for the outgoing Vice President Mike Pence as he plays a crucial role in the power of balance.  Pray for his family too.  
• Pray for the house of congress and the senate in their efforts to keep the transition of power peaceful.  
• Pray for outgoing President Trump and his family as they help transition to the new government.  
• Pray for the incoming President of the United States, Joe Biden, and his incoming Vice-President Kamela Harris that they may choose the righteous road in governing the land.  

SUNDAY CHURCH

During church this month, we will be talking about relationships among husbands and wives, children and their parents, and employers and employees all found in Ephesians 5 and 6.  January 2021 is a good month to assess a new beginning for our church, so embrace the two initiatives we have an offer for you.  (1) Be a part of a Small group; (2) Read the Bible in a year.   

Thanks to our Tech team headed by John Mindo we are able to still stream all of our services Filam Baptist Facebook.   

Come alongside Mililani Fil-Am Baptist Church in praying for our nation and growing in the Lord through the church.  If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me at (808) 741-6294.  

In His Service, 

Pastor Michael "Bong" Abagon
