Greetings in Christ, It is such a privilege to be able to come and address you here today. I want to let you know that everyday you are prayed for; regardless of if you send me prayer requests or not. I pray daily that the Lord would minister to you and that you would continue to grow in His grace and power. There are some specific things today I would like to draw your attention to. The first of these is our weekly prayer meetings. Last week we had about twelve people show up, which is great for the first prayer meeting in quite some time. The prayer meetings will be held Wed at 5pm pacific,6pm mountain, 7pm central, and 8pm eastern. During these times I am available for you to ask me questions regarding the Bible, or anything else. I am also there to pray for you, and pray for this ministry. The chat room is located at http://servantsofgrace.net/Sanctuary/chat/index.php3 While I am talking about prayer I would sincerely like for you to pray for this ministry. Some of you may know that quite recently there have been some major changes in my life. One of these changes is that now we have started a church here in Boise, Idaho. This was in large part because the Lord has called us to reach out to the city of Boise and build a church that is solid theologically as well as one that genuinely cares for the people living in the city of Boise. I will be elaborating more on what this all means in future messages to you. To be specific, we would like your prayers on the growth and maturity of this ministry. Pray for us as we minister here in Boise, online and worldwide through the radio. Now more than ever we need your support through prayers and finances. We are not asking for your money for our own gain, we are asking for it for the sake of the advancement of the Kingdom of God. What is most important to us is that you pray for us! You may desire to help support this ministry in the work of advancing the Kingdom. We understand that from time to time finances can get tight, and we would like you to know that we would rather have your prayers than see you out of your home or not be able to feed your family. My wife Sarah works at Starbucks. The Lord has called me to take a huge step of faith. I am stepping out in obedience to Christ trusting Him to provide for all of our needs. God has called me to preach His Word and shepherd His flock. What I’m saying essentially is: if you call Servants of Grace your church-home, we encourage giving cheerfully and sacrificially of our finances as a part of worship. A believer labors not to accrue personal wealth or possessions, but to steward God's resources well and model Jesus to brothers, sisters, and his or her community. If you're a Christian outside of our region who uses the website regularly for personal growth and/or evangelism, and you feel compelled to give above and beyond the primary giving to your local Christian congregation and mission, we (don't expect but do) appreciate your contribution.

Here is our address: Servants of Grace c/o Dave Jenkins Po 45096 Boise, Idaho 83711 I want to thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart for your prayers and support of this ministry.
