It reminded me of the water tower near my house. It's HUGE. And the piping that connects to it winds its way under the streets to homes all over the city. When someone wants to take a drink, or water their lawn, or clean their dirty clothes, they can tap into that system and the water flows.
When first moved to this house, I remember hoping that my ministry over the Internet would be like that water tower, filled with the Holy Spirit. And that the Holy Spirit would flow through the wires and cables that crisscrossed not only our town, but the entire globe.
Whenever someone wanted to take a drink spiritually, or water their parched areas, or cleanse their souls, they would be able to tap into this system and let the water flow!
Many of the people that write for prayer and encouragement are people just like you and me. They already have a relationship with the Lord and love Him deeply, but are going through some tough times in their lives, or they just feel weak, tired, worn out and need a boost in their faith.
Many times I just write to let them know God is still there, He's still alive, and He still cares deeply about them. Then I pray for them right there in the note. The responses that they send back can be amazing. By praying and letting them know that someone else out there cares for them, we can see God totally change both their outlook and their situation.
Some are simply lost and don't know that they can have forgiveness, peace, and hope for eternal life by putting their faith in Christ.
Some have little or no support nearby. Some live in countries or areas where there are very few people with whom they can share their beliefs, struggles, or questions. Your willingness to talk to them is a great blessing.
To help this process work as smoothly as possible, I've listed a few thoughts and guidelines on the next page. After that, I've included a response form I'd like you to fill out to help me in routing emails to you.
Please pray that God will be able to use each of our gifts so that we can truly "Let His Spirit Flow!"
