Celebrations!
March has come in like a lamb here in New Jersey. But we have reason to praise
the Lord for His blessings on the CF Devotionals website. The evening of
March 6th, 1998 saw the 5,000th visit recorded to the home page. This is
a wonderful milestone to reach and we can take no credit for it at all. Jesus
has lead people here one by one from literally all over the world.
Our 4,000th hit came January 6th, 1998. So, in two months we have been visited
one thousand times! The Lord is good indeed.
Some of our guests leave and never return. But others return time and time
again from exotic locations like Norawy, Sweden, Mayalsia, Thailand, South
Africa, Ireland and the Bahamas. For the prayer warriors on our list, all
these people are in need of prayer. From the non-bleiever who stops, scoffs
and moves on, to the businessman in an office tower in Singapore, to the
student in the Netherlands in a modern-day secular Europe where spiritual
food may be scarce. Pray for all these who cross ur collective paths.
One more cause for joy is the fact that we recently discovered that we had
quietly passed the 500 articles mark. As of this date, we will have posted
525 devotionals. The Lord has blessed us with this place to share the things
that He shows us. We are certainly no special group of people, so we are
greatful for the opportunity and the resources He has giving to us. And we
are as blessed in the writing and preparation as we hope you are blessed
in reading.
In the midst of all this counting, we must never lose sight of the fact that
the most important number we could ever count are the people who are helped
by this site, or lead to a relationship with Jesus Christ as Savior. We have
no technical way of doing that, of course. Please pray that our focus will
remain on feeding the body of Christ and reaching this lost and dying world
with the love, mercy and grace of Jesus.
![[Cross]](../gifs/cross1-t.gif) Wanted: Prayer
Warriors
We often receive a piece of email with a prayer request from one of our readers.
Sometimes it is even passed on from outside the circle, via members of the
mailing list. These requests range from problems at work or home, job offers
to very sick loved ones young and old, cancer exams and prayer for couples
about to be married, and more.
If you would like to be included in the list of people who receive these
prayer requests, please write Jan at
rijan@aol.com. Likewise, if you are getting the prayer requests and would
like to be removed from the list, let Jan know. No one will think less of
you for doing so. It is simply a matter of getting the requests
to people who have the time and energy to pray for the needs that are
passed to us.

our readers and the listings of other websites that allows us to be used

this life doles out.
