Life Change is an Life Change is an Invitation Away Invitation Away
JENI BADERTSCHER
I was 40 & divorced twice. My husband now, then boyfriend asked me to go to church with him one Sunday. I felt like Pastor Bob was speaking to me & only me. It changed my life! I went home that day & thought about everything I had heard & later asked God for his forgiveness and accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. Life has not been easy since that day but, it has been easier with God by my side. He has given me grace, love, strength & guidance. He has answered my prayers for both our children. We were told we should have started trying 10 years ago & now we have 2 beautiful children. Our son Henry was born with some complications & spent close to a month at Akron Children’s in the NICU. I was on my knees so many times & God responded each time. My life is not perfect. I am not perfect. I sin daily & ask for forgiveness. Trusting in God has given me a sense of calm in the middle of the chaos. Someone who I can turn to at anytime, who delights in me no matter how bad I mess up, who loves me as I am & will strengthen me when I am weak

TAKE FIVE AND PRAY for our church with us each day:
WELCOME WEEKEND (OCTOBER 21-22) WITH CLAYTON AND SHARIE KING! Clayton will be sharing Saturday night at Grace Students, and Clayton & Sharie will be sharing on Sunday at all of our morning services. Pray for our church to invite, for God to use the King’s and for lives to be changed! FIGHT! A New Series on relationships starting October 22. Why do we spend so much time fighting with the people we should be fighting for? Be praying each week as we discover how to become proactive in our relationships through forgiveness, communication, reconciliation, and parenting. THE NEXT GENERATION – Pray for the hundreds of kids and students that come in and out of our building every Sunday. Pray that they would develop an authentic faith that would change our community and our world. GRACE GROUPS – Pray for the 61 adult Grace Groups that are meeting all over Wayne County. Pray for them as they study “Discovering Global Missions,” start inviting their friends and coworkers to Welcome Weekend and as they serve in the church and Wayne County. Pray that God would continue to raise up more leaders and that more people would get connected in a group. Join A Group. FOR THE WORLD – Pray for our global impact as we continue to support three orphan homes in Thailand and Cambodia and support missionaries in 12 different countries across the globe. Pray for strength and peace for our global partners. Also pray for Steve Kern and his family as they travel to Cameroon, Daron Butler to Cambodia, and Nick Cleveland and Drew Boatner to Chad on short term trips this fall. Check out updated profiles of the countries we currently serve on our Global Partners Page on the web.
