DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2017
Put on the full armor of God. (Ephesians 6:11 (NIV))
A few years ago, my wife and I traveled to Kenya to serve for two weeks at Kijabe Hospital. As I packed for the trip, I had to closely evaluate each item since our luggage had to hold personal items as well as medical supplies for the hospital. I hesitated...
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Dear God, in our daily journeys remind us to take the gift of scripture so that we may offer it to others. Amen.

TODAY'S READING: Luke 9:1-6
Luke 9:1 Calling together the Twelve, Yeshua gave them power and authority to expel all the demons and to cure diseases; 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal. 3 He said to them, “Take nothing for your trip — neither a walking stick nor a pack, neither bread nor money; and don’t have two shirts. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there and go out from there. 5 Wherever they don’t welcome you, shake the dust from your feet when you leave that town as a warning to them.” 6 They set out and went through village after village, healing and announcing the Good News everywhere.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
What gifts have others given me for my spiritual journey?
PRAYER FOCUS:
People with limited access 
 to healthcare
