40 Days of Purpose


 We currently have 34 people participating in our “40 Days of Purpose” small group meetings.

Our Hispanic Lutheran church communities at St. Michael’s, Fort Myers and at Hope Lutheran, Bonita Springs have recently begun a campaign called “40 Days of Purpose”.  During these 40 days we focus on why God has put us here.  The result of this study is to inspire us to be more faithful, on-fire and joyful disciples of Jesus Christ After the first forty days is over, I pray to have additional leaders who will be able to lead this same six-week study in their own homes.  Pray for our spiritual and numerical growth.

Pray for . . .
Ø     A blessed Annual Fundraising Banquet.
Ø     Developing leadership in our ministry.
