Need Help from the Today’s Word Community?
Hey folks, Patrick the Tech Geek here. On Saturday, Skip wrote the post Community Issues saying,
Recently some very distressing things have been happening to members of our group, but unless you read all the comments, you probably would not be aware of them simply because they are attached to particular daily posts. Patrick recognized this problem and is going to try to address it.
After some thought about how best to do this, here’s my simple solution. If you have a prayer request or need you want to inform this online community about, go to the main Contact Me page and select “I have a prayer request and/or a need from the community” from the Regarding drop-down box. Skip will receive the request by email and post it online so it will be emailed out to the rest of the Today’s Word community usually within 24 hours or less.
I’ve added a link on the homepage that says, “Let the community know you have a prayer request or need” so that you can easily get back to these instructions.
There’s also a link on that page to all the posts that have been tagged “community” so that you can read the latest stories and prayer request of the community, or find older posts.
And maybe you’ll be moved to help out, like my dad Pat Sullivan who is trying to help Truthful Loving-Kindness work through the medical advice in treating her Lyme. Or offer support like my good friend Roderick Logan:
I do biblical counseling and have a private practice in the Phoenix, AZ area. To those in the Today’s Word community who are in need of counseling or a biblical perspective of their situation I offer my services. I do counseling by way of Skype so wherever you are located we can connect (provided you have internet). There is no charge for my services up to three one hour sessions. No “pitch” will be made to “sell” you additional hours of service. For more information on me or my practice, please visit http://www.amen21.org. Should you want to use my services please write to me at inquiry@amen21.org and place “Today’s Word” in the subject line. We will agree on an appointment and then connect on Skype.

It’s about community.
A week ago, Alissa Eason wrote to me about her struggles. She and her fiance are starting a church in a very tough area of New York City, and they are out of funds. In fact, she was wondering how they were going to pay for groceries. So, At God’s Table sent them some money. She didn’t know it was coming, but when it arrived, she wrote the following:
Hi Skip,
My fiance and I were absolutely blown away by your generosity and overwhelming kindness!!! I was in tears over the goodness of God. No one has ever given me money before and I just couldn’t stop thanking the Lord for looking out for me. We have been so nervous; I’ve had sleepless nights, praying that God would help us and then He did – through you!!
Thanks again and again, and may it be given back to you good measure and running over.
Warm Regards,
Alissa
