And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
 
       Colossians 1:21-23

Thank the Lord that he has done this great work in you! Pray for steadfastness in the faith. Ask God to fill you with confidence, knowing that he who began a good work in you will be faithful to continue that work until the day of Christ.

Pray that each of us at Rio will give witness to the power of the gospel! Pray for growth and fruitfulness in our ministry!
