The church did not want to see this happen to Peter. It is recorded in verse 5, So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying for him. Peter did not end up being killed. He was miraculously saved by an angel of the Lord. No, it was the result of the church earnestly praying for his deliverance.
Mission trips are something the whole church participates and shares in.
We all have part in what God does when he sends someone out. Our prayers and support are the very foundation of all mission trips. As we commit to continued prayer for those who are being sent out, we will share in the good reports that are brought back. Our church has three storage areas. All of them are in disarray, which makes it very difficult to find items when they are needed.
