Join Us As We Pray For The Ministry of The ARC and The 2016 AFLC Annual Conference

May 25th - June 14th, 2016

The ministry of the ARC reaches over 10,000 people every year with the love and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. For three weeks, we are asking our ministry partners to spend a few minutes each day re�ecting on God’s Word and in prayer for this ministry.

Some may also feel led to spend some of this time in fasting as some of our sta� will be doing. We invite you to consider fasting on an individual basis.

Following are some suggested scripture passages that will lead you in a time of worship, prayer and personal re�ection. Included are some questions for thought, and prayer requests that we as an ARC sta� would like you to remember during this journey.

You may also want to check our Facebook Page daily for further insights. Please feel free to o�er comments on our posts during this time of prayer.

Our Theme for Annual Conference:

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’

Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’

Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’    

Matthew 4:4,7,10

These verses are summarized as “It is Written” as the theme for the 2016 Annual Conference.   Beginning June 14 and concluding on the

“Be strong and courageous” is the ARC theme for 2016.  This verse reminds us that regard-less of what situation we are facing today, our Hope and Trust continues to be in the 

Lord who promises to always be with us. What a privilege to 

have God’s word written; to read, learn, serve, worship and 

in which to �nd comfort.
