One of the great joys of this year has been to meet regularly with two local pastors - Weston and Russell - for prayer. We get to UConn at 8:30 and usually pray until 9:30 or sometimes even 10:00. Interestingly, we meet on Monday mornings, when pastors usually take that day off. For me, it's a chance to link arms with fellow laborers, and it is so encouraging to know that they want to see us succeed.
Why do we pray together? It's tempting to pray for everything going on in our separate ministries, but the purpose of our time is to pray Great Commission-type prayers for the UConn campus. I know we've had lots of people praying for us over the years, and I'm extremely grateful for that. But I cannot even begin to adequately express the level of encouragement it has been to me to pray with these two guys.
By way of encouragement to you, if you don't have someone you pray with regularly, make a point of establishing something, at some point in your week. It's worth the investment!!!
