Scripture:
 
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” (MATTHEW 19:14)
 
Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. (HEBREWS 13:7)
 
A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. And he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves. (LUKE 22:24-27)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You all the children across the world who will be touched by the gift of Your only Son through the gift of a shoebox we have filled with Your love and provisions. For Your desire has always been to draw to Yourself the little children – to let the little children come and not hinder them, for to such belongs the Kingdom of God. Through these gifts, remind the children of the Giver of these gifts, to come to Jesus in however which way they may know and understand in the mystery of how Your grace is revealed unto them and their level of conscious receptivity, that Your grace may go forth and touch them through this provision. We lift up our honored Staff – Director Rachel, Director Trey, Minister Chao, Pastor Chester – keep them in good health and we remember them as they speak the word of God to us, considering the outcome of their way of life. Let our staff be those whose faith can be imitated because they possess the heart of Christ. Bless our upcoming birthdays, beloved Mrs. Hanna Park, Joseph Ko, and little Emma Jeng – for another year to grow in advancing Your Kingdom wherever You send them. And let the greatest among us become the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. For according to Your eyes, the greatest is not the one who reclines at table, but the one who serves tables. So we serve this month of November the tables/chairs ministry. With our small sacrifice, receive this labor of Your love in us. Likewise, raise up our James life group families as servants of God who are among us as those who serve, as they continue to follow their suffering servant Jesus Christ. In His resurrected name, Christ Jesus our Lord and Chief Shepherd of Hosanna we pray, amen & amen.
