Love28mTransformative Power of Love, Healing, and Hope
On Daily Faith, our special guest today is Pastor Glenn Davis, the Lead Pastor at Countryside Church in Clearwater, Florida. Amid a world filled with hardship where people desperately seek authenticity, the Holy Spirit is thriving, soothing the rough edges within their community and drawing everyone unto Himself. This younger generation is experiencing this same drawing and renewed sense of life through baptism. Today, Pastor Glenn shares a message overflowing with love, healing, and the hope found in Jesus Christ. "If you create space, they will come," he emphasizes, exploring the transformative effect of this divine love on Generation Z. Recently, Pastor Glenn authored Ordinary Guy, Extraordinary God, recounting his journey of faith and perseverance during life's harshest trials, and illustrating how God utilized him as a willing vessel. Through overcoming these challenges, Pastor Glenn discovered a newfound freedom in Jesus Christ. Battling life's tumultuous waves may feel like an endless struggle to stay afloat. Yet, this is not the time to surrender or lose hope. Instead, it's the time to muster your strength and persevere through faith, prayer, and resilience. No matter who you are, where you're from, or what you've done, Jesus loves you. He patiently waits for you to acknowledge your sins and accept His unconditional love.

Faith28mMarking The Time With Prayer
John Wesley said, “God does nothing except in response to believing prayer.” We're thrilled to welcome Dr. Don Allen, who shares an inspirational story on the power of prayer and sharing with his dear friend John Matson. His personal journey of faith exhibits remarkable resilience. You’ll hear his testimony of how the Lord radically brought him back to life. On that day, prayer truly mattered! We understand that the journey of our faith can look different for everyone and be filled with various struggles, failures, and hardships. Yet, perseverance in the face of these challenges can genuinely alter the course of our lives. Remaining faithful in prayer and steadfast in our relationship with God allows us to experience His love and joy. As we navigate through time, know that this journey is meant to be navigated together. Dr. Don has written a book, Mark The Time, inspired by this incredible journey marked by miracles and prayer. The word of God is true, and if we can hold fast to His promises and stand firm on His word, He will remain faithful to us. So, in all you do, PUSH; pray until something happens.

The Orphans Hands is the core of our ministry, committed to assisting the underserved and distressed communities in Moldova and Ukraine. Many families struggling to provide the basic necessities are compelled to send their children to orphanages. Upon turning sixteen, these children are kicked out of the orphanages, often without a place to go, making them vulnerable to the lies of the human traffickers. We have a village of homes in Moldova called Vatra Village and a home in Odessa, Ukraine. We provide these children with a safe place to call home and a family's love. We attend to their needs and cultivate the influence of the Holy Spirit in their young lives. Despite severe challenges, they've persevered. Through prayer, the transformative love of Jesus has changed their lives. Once orphans, now transformed into missionaries for Jesus, they understand that both time and healing are under God's providence. Our children passionately serve and address the needs of many refugees via our Constant Care ministry. They delight in sharing the same love of Jesus they've received. Despite hardships, they've embraced a profound truth: with God, nothing is impossible. We invite you to help us be God’s hands extended in this crucial time to make a tangible difference.

Love29mEmbracing Diversity: The Church's Path to Healing
We are introducing our special guest, Pastor Ken Claytor, the lead pastor of Alive Church in Orlando, Florida. Alive Church is a vibrant and diverse community that represents multiple cultures and ethnicities. Today, Pastor Claytor will address a crucial topic that is crucial for the American church to understand. He has recently published a book entitled "As It Is In Heaven: How a Church that resembles Heaven can help heal our racial divide." The concept of race is not from God but a man-made notion. If we listen closely to God's heart, we will realize that there is only one race - the human race - and that we are all created in God's image. When we embrace this understanding within the church, we will start to see the world the way God sees it - with love, reconciliation, and healing. According to the Word of God, the body of Christ is one body with many different parts that work together harmoniously. It is our duty as members of the body of Christ to share in Christ's love, allowing God to restore and bring reconciliation where it is needed. If the church fails to grasp this essential principle, we will not be fulfilling our full destiny in the Kingdom of God. We invite you to see the world the way the Lord sees it and to share His love that brings healing to all nations.

The Orphans Hands Ministry is on a mission to heal the racial divide and bring reconciliation to the lives of abandoned children in Moldova who have been affected by the devastating consequences of drug and alcohol abuse in their families. These children often end up in orphanages, growing up without the love of a family and becoming vulnerable to human trafficking. Through the Vatra Village in Moldova and a house in Odessa, Ukraine, The Orphans Hands Ministry provides care and support and shares the gospel of Jesus with these children. This offers them a sense of purpose and belonging and helps them become ambassadors of hope and love, impacting their communities with the power of God's message of reconciliation and healing. Despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the children at The Orphans Hands continue to rely on their faith and become a source of positive change in the face of adversity. By helping those in need, they are transforming lives and spreading hope, one step at a time. Join the mission of The Orphans Hands Ministry to heal and bring reconciliation to the lives of abandoned children in Moldova through the power of God's love.
