ST. JOHN BIBLE CENTER

10/22/2026

We are asking every church to urge their members to fast and pray over the next 24 hours for the healing of Ethan Blackwell. Ethan is the Youth Pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church and the son of John Blackwell, Pastor of Restoration Church. Would you consider sending a message to your church members tonight or in the morning and opening your church’s doors and inviting people to come to the altar all day long to pray for the total healing of Ethan. Ethan has a very rare infection and we need the Lord to take the infection away and to stop his internal bleeding. Please use your Wednesday night prayer meeting for this purpose as well. Please take a moment to share this Facebook post so others can see it. for updates: https://www.facebook.com/share/19S7VM3LNH/

Romans 5:6-11 NLT
[6] When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.

[7] Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good.

[8] But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

[9] And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation.

[10] For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.

[11] So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

📖🇺🇸 America Reads the Bible – Join the Movement!

Right now, believers across the nation are coming together for something powerful — a continuous public reading of the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.

This is “America Reads the Bible,” and it’s more than just an event… it’s a call to return to the Word of God.

🗓️ How it works:
• The Bible is being read nonstop, 24 hours a day
• It takes about 90 hours total to complete
• That means this reading will continue over the course of several days until the entire Bible is finished

👀 How to watch:
Click the link below and tune in anytime — morning, midday, or late at night. There is always someone reading!

🙏🏽 Whether you listen for 5 minutes or an hour, take a moment to let the Word wash over you. Faith still comes by hearing… and hearing by the Word of God. (Romans 10:17)

Let’s be a people who don’t just own Bibles… but actually hear them. ❤️
