Question
Hi Elder Greg

I get some pray chain letters and I don't send 'em to other people like its suggested.

I believe that its evil of some sort but I don't or not seen it in the Bible.

QUESTION(S) PLEASE

Elder Greg can you give me any Scripture that confirms my beliefs on this matter.

Thank You Edler Greg
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Answer
Bro Ray,

Do you mean request's for prayer passed along through e-mail? If so, I see no problem with agreeing with other Believers in prayer. But if you mean chain letters that ask for money, then yes.

Eph 6:18
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Heb. 13:18
Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

Experience

I gave my heart to the Lord a few months after being married during a revival meeting. A few weeks later I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and I have not been the same since! In those twenty five years we have only attended one church (Harvest Church), and there I have served there as an Elder for fourteen years. We minister in song with the choir and worship team. I am also the new member’s class coordinator, men's ministry director, and the Harvest Riders motorcycle ministry president. In 1993 the Lord called me to "...preach the Gospel where ever I open the door..." I have had the privilege of ministering God's Word to churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. In those meetings we have seen the Lord save, heal, deliver, and fill people will His Spirit.

Organizations
I am ordained through Harvest Church, and with the World Harvest Ministerial Fellowship. I also am a licensed minister with the State of Oklahoma.

Education/Credentials
I am currantly enrolled with the Ames Bible College.
