Welcome to The Pulse! Please take a minute to check out what's happening in the life of COTA.
|
Please join your church in praying for the following requests for the life and mission of the church:
+ Please pray for Brian Mann and the InterVarsity staff he supervises as they prepare for their
February 17-19 Greek Ministry Conference in Raleigh. Pray that fraternity and sorority students from schools in the South would register, and that they would come to know and follow Jesus because of this conference.
+ Pray for our upco
ming Town Hall meeting this Sunday, that the Lord would use the time to give us even greater unity and excitement to pursue his kingdom purposes as a church.
+ Pray for the few hundred Christians in the country of Somalia.
Somalia has become a safe haven for Islamic militants. Christian converts from Islam in the country have been facing a great deal of persecution, and martyrdom is very common. The mere suspicion of one's having renounced Islam leads to a rushed public execution.

THE FEAR FACTOR: HOW FEAR CONFINES OUR FAITH
He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" ~ Mark 4:40
Fear. Most of us don't sit around thinking about what we are fearful of and why. But what if our fears actually prevent us from experiencing deep, abiding faith? Join us for this sacred time away as we discover how to think "outside the box" fear creates and begin to live fully by faith.
