BB-EFC Missionary of the Week - Pastor Luther and Lanita Eatman, with Bridge of Hope in Kansas City, MO, write that their second season of the Cold Weather Shelter has begun. Already this winter the shelter has consistently reached its capacity. By having smaller numbers, they have an ability to connect more with the guests and build relationships. Just in the few weeks that the shelter has been open, there have been some positive outcomes. Please continue lifting the shelter and our guests up in prayer, that God will be glorified and more may come to know Him through this ministry. Pray for Our Local Churches: First Christian Church, Pastor Seth Bates Pray for a Midwest District Church: Evangelical Free Church, Minden, NE, Pastor Tom Barnes
