Laundry Day

Bible in a Year:

• Isaiah 65–66
• 1 Timothy 2

Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples.

Matthew 28:19 gnt

Driving through a low-income area near his church, Colorado pastor Chad Graham started praying for his “neighbors.” When he noticed a small laundromat, he stopped to take a look inside and found it filled with customers. One asked Graham for a spare coin to operate the clothes dryer. That small request inspired a weekly “Laundry Day” sponsored by Graham’s church. Members donate coins and soap to the laundromat, pray with customers, and support the owner of the laundry facility.

Their neighborhood outreach, which dares to include a laundromat, reflects Jesus’ Great Commission to His disciples. As He said, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:18–19 gnt).

His Holy Spirit’s powerful presence enables “everywhere” outreach, including even a laundromat. Indeed, we don’t go alone. As Jesus promised, “I will be with you always, to the end of the age” (v. 20 gnt).

Pastor Chad experienced that truth after praying at the laundromat for a customer named Jeff who is battling cancer. As Chad reported, “When we opened our eyes, every customer in the room was praying with us, hands stretched out toward Jeff. It was one of the most sacred moments I have experienced as a pastor.”

The lesson? Let’s go everywhere to proclaim Christ.

By:  Patricia Raybon Reflect & Pray

Where can you go in your neighborhood today to proclaim Christ? How could His powerful presence enable you?

Jesus, enable me to proclaim Your good news today—everywhere.

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...it’s getting cold here. Mid 20s in the morning.

How are things around you? Can you still get a legal haircut?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Biggirl...is your fall going well? Are you starting to transition into winter?

It’s getting cold up here.

[PROCON]

We’re getting cold and may get snow by Friday. Haircuts are still legal, but I expect our idiot governor to shut things down again after the election.

[Kathy in Alaska]

You are most welcome.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

What a great message today.

Well, we made it through hump day. Hope your week is going as you planned.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...are you and Blue still on the “trail”?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Be sure you keep your “underground” avenues open.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, luvie...we will NEVER forget what they have done for us and America.

it was 25 when I got up this morning. And we are supposed to have rain Sunday/Monday, but snow Tuesday/Wednesday.

Have you finally made it to fall and lower temps?

[luvie]

Occasionally we’ve had temps in the 60s, but on Monday, it’s “real” and 48 for a high. I saw that your mountains are white with snow and looking beautiful. I wondered when it would come on down to the city. 25 is very cold to me. LOL!

[Biggirl]

It is autumn in CT, but the weather to be honest is still warm.
