Letter to Summit-12/4 Prayer of a Child

Yesterday morning was one of the most powerful reminders of why Summit exists.  It wasn’t during service or after service with someone coming up to me saying I delivered the most inspiring messages ever, it was in our prayer time before we set up.  Not to brag on Caleb, but he prayed one of the most inspiring prayers I have ever heard, with a maturity that surpasses his years by a long shot.  As a father, I couldn’t have been more proud, as a believer and a brother in Christ to him I couldn’t have been more challenged.  In his prayer, he prayed for people that didn’t know God, that didn’t have a church, he prayed that they would come to Summit and if they didn’t that they would end up in a church so that they could, “hear about God’s name.”  What a powerful, unselfish prayer! This is a KINGDOMprayer!!  My hope is that we will pray like a child, that we are praying for people that are driving by and seeing the Summit signs or maybe living next door to us, have kids on our kids teams, in the cubicle next to ours or whoever it may be, are we praying?  Remember, the birth of Jesus is an incredible gift, but salvation is the most powerful gift in the world, so let’s not be greedy with it, let’s share it.  Who are you investing in? Who are you going to invite?  Christmas is one of two times a year people are thinking about church, this year at Christmas Eve who can you invite to join you at Church?
