This past Sunday, we were blessed to hear from Tim and Kim Wardell and learn more about their ministry, Bridges of Hope, on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

Their work is built on presence, relationship, service, and sharing the hope of Jesus in real, practical ways.

Would you take a moment today to pray for them?

Pray for:
👉The people and families they serve
👉Their church and community relationships
👉The mission teams preparing to go
👉The bathroom facility project and ministry needs
👉More workers to join the harvest

We are grateful for partners in ministry who remind us that the gospel is lived out through love, consistency, and relationship.

It is easy to assume someone else will do the work. The pastor can visit them. The missionary can reach them. The church staff can invite them. But Jesus calls every disciple to carry the message.

The natural response is to stay comfortable, keep faith private, and let someone else step into the hard conversations. The biblical response is to build real relationships, love people without trying to control them, and live in a way that makes the gospel visible.

This week, pay attention. Who is alone on Sunday? Who at work needs someone to listen? Who in your neighborhood needs compassion before they ever hear an invitation?

Who is God asking you to move toward this week?

Sunday’s message reminded us that the harvest is plentiful, and every follower of Jesus has a part to play.

Sometimes the mission field is across the world. Sometimes it is across the street. Sometimes it is the person sitting alone, the coworker who is struggling, or the family member who needs hope.

Here’s a question for today:

Who is one person God may be asking you to move toward this week?

Take a moment to pray for them by name today.

Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” The need is real. People around us are carrying grief, anxiety, shame, addiction, loneliness, and questions they do not know how to answer.

The message of Jesus is not only for pastors, missionaries, or church leaders to share. Every follower of Jesus is called to live the gospel with gentleness, clarity, consistency, and love.

God is still sending people into the harvest. Sometimes that looks like crossing the world. Sometimes it looks like crossing the room, listening to a story, serving a neighbor, or inviting someone to take one step toward Christ.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego didn’t decide who they would worship when they saw the flames. Daniel didn’t begin praying when he heard about the lions.

Their choices in those moments grew out of the faith they practiced every day.

It’s easy to turn to God when life gets hard, but, are we making room for Him on the ordinary days, too?

Pray today. Open Scripture today. Stay close to the people who will remind you of what’s true. When a hard season comes, we can face it knowing the God we’ve been walking with all along.

Daniel 3 and 6

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego didn’t know whether God would keep them out of the fire. They knew He was able to, and they had already decided to trust Him either way.

That’s a hard kind of faith. When life doesn’t turn out the way we prayed, we can still bring our questions to God and keep walking with Him. And we don’t have to do that alone. Our church family is here to pray and walk through the hard places together.

Daniel 3:16–18

“We will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” — Daniel 3:18

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego made their choice before they were thrown into the fire. They trusted God to save them, but their faith didn’t depend on knowing how the story would end.

That kind of trust grows in the ordinary days: when we pray, spend time in God’s Word, and keep choosing to follow Him.

We don’t know when a hard season will come. We can begin building our faith today.
