Eternal Life is Ours Today!
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 John 5:11-12
After recovering from heart bypass surgery, Harold said to his wife, "Mary, isn't it wonderful to be alive? Life is one of God's great miracles."
Sometimes we have to come face-to-face with death to appreciate and give thanks for life. Life can be wonderful. But it can also be very difficult. How is life treating you today? Are you experiencing and enjoying the abundant life God has promised those who are His children? Christians are promised an abundant life on earth and eternal life in heaven. Our sins are all forgiven. Our future, even our eternal future, is bright.
The Bible says, "He who has the Son has life." Through faith in Christ we have eternal life today. It is a present reality. The gift of life everlasting is not dependent on what we do, but on what Christ has already done for us. He died for our sins. Now the eternal life He has won for us has already begun.
Lord Jesus, we thank and praise You for giving us forgiveness and eternal life. Our faith assures us that we will rise one day as You have risen and be with You in heaven. In Your name we offer our praise and prayer. Amen.
Your support allows us to serve individuals and their families and equip them to share their faith with family and friends. Thank you!
In His Service and yours,

Please complete and submit the FPW survey (click here for link) after you have taken at least one family prayer walk.
We encourage those that take a family prayer walk to send us a picture of their family. We will use the pictures on our Facebook page, on the website, and/or in the email newsletter. We also have a small gift for families that complete at least one prayer walk and return the survey to us.
