This morning we focused our morning prayer on Hebrews 12:2 and footnote 2, part of which says, "It is by being attracted by His [Christ's] charming beauty that we look away from all things other than Him. Without such a charming object, how could we look away from so many distracting things on this earth?" We prayed many would see and be charmed by our lovely Lord Jesus.

Today we met a woman who had received a New Testament Recovery Version yesterday. She had already looked up some verses that were suggested to her in a letter she had received earlier. As she read them in her Recovery Version New Testament she was, in her words, "charmed." We believe her experience was a direct answer to our prayer.

Three Salvation Army volunteers came to one of our tables and visited for a while. They asked us if we were born again, and upon hearing our affirmative answer, they prayed, "Father, bless this work. Your word will not return void." They each signed up for a New Testament, and we had a good time of fellowship together. We opened to John 3:16 and shared from the footnotes on "believing into" with them, which sparked something in everyone. One sister began to overflow with personal experience and further inquiry.

We encountered a young man and after conversing with him for a while, we found out at one point in his life he had injured his knee and prayed to be healed to play basketball again. He had prayed to "the real God." He also received a Recovery Version New Testament.

A man approached one of our tables. Although he was in a hurry, he still desired to receive the New Testament. We showed him a footnote, and he was very impressed. He informed us his father had recently led a prayer breakfast with George W. Bush and thought he would be interested in the Recovery Version New Testament.

Looking away unto Jesus,
