Hungering for His Presence

We live in a world that is filled with a variety of hungers. The hunger for purpose, for being loved, for relevance, for esteem, for material gain, for peace, and for so much more. The list could go on and on. Everyone comes to each day with a list of life-hungers we desire to satisfy. The daily news and our own relationships are filled with examples of the life-hungers people are seeking. Some people are willing to pay any price to satisfy a life-hunger for esteem or for success. Even the Olympics demonstrate for us how important such hungers are. No Olympic athlete can even think of taking home the gold medal if he or she does not make that attainment the top hunger of his life. As we think of desiring the presence of God in our lives, our churches and our communities, the question confronts us with an almost abrupt bluntness. Is the presence of God the top hunger in our lives?

• Allow the Lord to examine your heart and your life-hungers.

• Ask the Lord to bring you to desire His presence above all things. 

• Pray that believers across your city would hunger after the Lord's presence together.

From the Board of PTM

To our PTM friends,

The last three months have been very challenging for us here at Prayer Transformation Ministries. We have spent much time in prayer seeking the Lord’s direction. He continues to shape and mold us. In this process, PTM has been forced to do some major restructuring and refining of the ministry.

As a result, effective the beginning of August my ministry partner of eight years, Carol Madison, will be moving to other ministry opportunities. Carol has been an integral part of this ministry. We have great love and admiration for her. We pray the Lord's blessing on her.

Rose Gebo will also be leaving at of the end of September. Rose has made many contributions to PTM in the function of her administrative ministry. We bless you, Rose, and thank you.

We are deeply saddened to have to say goodbye to these two outstanding partners who have done so much over the years to make PTM what it is today. Our request is that you would continue to lift each of them up in your prayers for direction and provision in the days ahead.

We know that both Carol and Rose would wish to thank you for the ways you have blessed and encouraged them while they have been here at PTM.

It is important for us to communicate to you that the vision and mission of Prayer Transformation Ministries remains the same. We value your prayers and continued support as we seek to be agents of transformation for the Lord’s glory.
