This week, remember to pray for PCA church-planting missionaries Rick and Katie Schaeffer and their four sons (David, Daniel, Joseph, Joshua) as they serve in culturally diverse, crime-prone downtown Long Beach, California. The ministry’s web site explains:

• Grace Harbor exists to ignite and support a gospel movement so that “things on earth are as they are in Heaven.”
• This means that we believe the gospel alone has the power to change everything.
• It alone has the power to bring about the kind of deep, authentic personal transformation that causes us to flourish as humans.
• It alone has the power to reconcile us to God so that we might know Him and His acceptance and to reconcile us to our “neighbors” so that we might live in intimate, dynamic community with people across all ethnic, economic, generational, and social boundaries.
• Such a movement requires that we go out into our families, our neighborhoods, our places of employment, and our world to extend the blessing we’ve received.
