Editorial extracted from Global Prayer Digest for December 2008.

Dear Praying Friends

Isn’t it about time we pray for the unreached peoples of Israel? That is exactly what we are doing this month! Please don’t let the holiday excitement keep you from praying for God’s special children!

We can debate at length whether or not the Jewish people are God’s “chosen people,” or have been specially “favored” but we know this for sure: He loves all peoples, and wants some from every tribe, tongue and nation to become part of His holy family. That includes the Muslim, Alawite, Druze, as well as the Jewish religious communities that make up the nation state we call Israel.

Do you know anyone who might want to use this prayer guide featuring Israel? If so, please refer them to our web site (global-prayer-digest.org/) or call (626) 398-2249. Individual copies inside the United States are $1.25 each if you order less than 10 to one address.

In Christ,
Keith Carey
Managing Editor GPD

Yay! It’s finally out.

RBC Ministries have released the popular Our Daily Bread devotionals as a mobile application for java enabled devices. They actually have the July and August 2008 Our Daily Bread devotionals available. Check out the details at http://www.rbc.org/mobile/apps/.

I tried it out on my Sony Ericsson P1i and it couldn’t display the entire devotional article. Wonder what’s the problem with the devotional being cut off. The mobile application worked fine using the java phone emulator from http://www.microemu.org/. The mobile application is named main in my list of applications.

Go ahead and try it out, download it from http://www.rbc.org/mobile/apps/. Post a comment on your experience installing it on your phone.
