While we’re entering the season of Lent we’d still like to keep our Operation Andrew at the forefront of your heart and mind. Lent is an intensely spiritual season. What better time to keep those who do not know Jesus in our hearts as well. Operation Andrew (or Operation Andy for kids) is designed to help us:

  • Look Around – where you live, work, or go to school—this is your mission field.  List names of individuals you know who need Jesus Christ, whom you will pray for regularly.
  • Look Up – because God changes people through prayer.  Pray each day for those on your list, that God will give you opportunities to share His love with them.
  • Look Out – for ways to cultivate friendships with each person on your list.  Spend time with them.  An invitation to dinner or a sporting event will build friendships, which can open the way to talk about Christ.
  • Look Forward – by beginning to talk with each person on your list about attending church with you.  Choose a specific date, pray, and invite them.
  • Look After – those who respond to Christ or even begin to show interest in the Gospel, for they need your encouragement.  Continue to love and pray for those who do not respond.

For more information go to the Operation Andrew introduction page. You can view PDF copies of the materials we’re using in it.

To learn more about Lent, please go to our Seasonal pages. You’ll learn more about Lent as well as what we here at Pilgrim Lutheran will be doing to prepare ourselves for Jesus’ upcoming passion.

Third, we’re continuing our Bible Prayer Meeting experiments. To help us grow in our lives of study and prayer we’re continuing with our Bible Prayer Meeting experiment. This is a time of contemplation, discussion, and prayer that we hold in Pilgrim’s sanctuary. You can read more about it, too.

We’d also encourage you to look at our Pilgrim Media section will contain a wide variety of different media (it currently contains copies of our monthly newsletter as well as some brochures), and a Who Is Jesus section that will help you learn more about who Jesus is. We’re also testing putting up the February 2010 newsletter articles directly on the web site instead of just in a PDF file. Depending on the response we might continue this in the future.

We hope you’ll find the material we currently have up to be beneficial. We’re now back to our schedule of being able to make regular additions and corrections to the site. Be sure to come back often and watch it grow!
