Philippians 1:1-11, Acts 16
INTRODUCTION
There is a woman named Suzi Howle. You've never heard of her.
Suzie was born in Budapest, Hungary in the 1930's. When she was a young girl, WW2 began to rage all around her and her family.
She lived in a Jewish neighborhood and some of her earliest memories were seeing her friends being taken away to the concentration camps.
It was at this point, that her parents, decided to take her and her siblings and flee the country before the communists fully took over.
So, they fled Hungary, where they had to secretly make their way through German occupied Austria. Which was very dangerous...
They eventually made it through Austria... And through a series of events, they ended up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Where Suzi lived throughout her childhood
In Brazil, Suzie heard the gospel and became a committed follower of Jesus.
She later married a man named Robert... And they moved to United States.
Why do I tell you about Suzi Howle?
Because you don't this... But Ms. Suzi has prayed for most of you by name hundreds of times.
I had the privilege of being one of Ms. Suzi's pastors for four years before I moved to Brooklyn. She is one of the godliest people I know on this planet.
She is what some might call a ''Prayer Warrior.''
She spends hours a day in prayer.
Every few months or so, I email her the list of names of people who go to our church. And I tell her a little about what is going in each of your lives... She prays for you.
She has a day set aside every week, where she spends a few hours praying specifically for Crossroads.
In fact, the Easter Eggtravaganza two years ago... We planned for 150 people... 1,000 showed up... We weren't prepared... Not enough eggs/volunteers... She was the first person I called to pray for us.
Alejandro... I hope I don't put you on the spot here... B ...
