Introducing our ASK Prayer Ministry - Faith + Action
The ASK: Prayer + Action ministry is a space for all of us to come together, communally, at the intersections of our Christian faith and activism; here we commit to praying together (virtually on Zoom) around a specific issue each month - climate justice, anti-racism, mental health, police brutality, violence and harm against people living on the margins ( immigrants, communities of color, our LGBTQ+ siblings, etc.), and taking a concrete action in the work towards the change we wish to see realized in our world.
This ministry is a continuation of Dad's work; he started the ASK prayer ministry when my brother and I were kids. It was rooted, Mom says in Matthew 7:7-8: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." You can read more about the ministry on our website.
During this first prayer meeting on Sunday, April 30, our focus is on climate justice. We're linking to some of the resources we are sharing in that meeting below (for folks who may not be able to attend):

Three Core Tools for dealing with Change
In this episode, Keith and Megan Peeler share their prayer journey around change.

That Poor Girl
In this episode, Keith & Megan Peeler discuss finding one of Megan's old journals. They reflect on their spiritual growth in Inner Healing Prayer and Deliverance over time.
EP 33 Surrender - Patty Gerstenberger
Patty Gerstenberger uses her real life experiences to share examples of what it looks like to surrender to God. She describes three positions of surrender. What is the benefit or cost to surrender? If we surrender to God, is there a great reward? Does He do a great exchange for us? Beauty for ashes, fears for promise, busyness for peace?. If something is holding you back, let this message encourage you.
