One program on prayer helps individuals develop their personal relationship with God. The other is an innovative exercise in corporate prayer. Two programs use Canadian Baptist Ministries videos in ways that not only add to women s knowledge of mission personnel and issues, but also equip them to be more effective disciples of Jesus. The Same Yesterday, Today, Forever. Malachi and John are the Scripture selections.
Groups have a choice of two mission books.
The Quilt , a novel by T. Davis Bunn, has been chosen as additional reading. It tells what happens when a grandmother sews prayer into each stitch of her final, very special, quilt.

May all Christians be sensitive to God's Spirit and His Word as we seek to learn what God is saying to us in these uncertain times. May we place our trust more firmly than ever in Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
