Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you; and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one. We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command. May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

No doubt in my mind that this prayer of the saints was the fuel behind the amazing things God did during the recent Crosswalk mission trip to juvenile correctional facilities in the Midwest. To Him be the glory and may He give the increase so that His kingdom will be increased. If you are one of those who prayed for us, thank you!
