Hot Metal

"Being a bridge to Jesus Christ by helping people participate in the Kingdom of God"

The Hot Metal Faith Community is a Christ-centered ministry in the Southside of Pittsburgh, well-known for their bible-based dramas and diversity. This congregation is lead by one Methodist and one Presbyterian pastor. They are living the gospel with their Southside community and around the world.

Homeless Ministry: downtown Pittsburgh, PA

Apprenticeship Missions Trip: Chiapas, Mexico

On a personal note, Hot Metal is the church family that reached out to my best friend's sister, Nicci, and shared with her Christ's love. Nicci accepted Jesus as her Saviour - had a personal relationship with Him - and is now in perfect peace with her Father forever.

Nicci and Sarah

God is certainly at work in and through this faith community. They are currently facing a difficult challenge for which we can join together in prayer. They lost their place of worship, The Goodwill Building.

Ways we can pray (from Sarah):

• Space to worship God
• Community in a time of separation
• Rest and Peace for their leaders
• Continued and increased financial support
• Unity between the Methodist and Presbyterian churches
• Restored relationships

Let's unite in prayer, trusting in God's good and perfect plan for Hot Metal. Desiring that God be glorified through it all!

"...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Phil 1:6

May we all love Him more as we pray.

WHO: International Christian Community of Provence
WHERE: Aix en Provence, France (where God changed my life forever)

Last week I zipped out a note requesting urgent "defensive" prayer. THANK YOU! We are continuing to see His hand at work right in the midst of difficult times.
Now I have a request of a different nature. Is it strange to ask now for "offensive" prayer?? Well, however you want to word it, please pray that the Gospel will go out this weekend at the annual Christmas Carol Concert here in Aix-en-Provence. We usually have about 1200 people in attendance at the main Cathedral for this service of carols sung in english and then I give a brief Christmas message.
So please pray:
That it will be brief!
That it will be clear.
And that the true message of Christmas and ultimately the message of Christ will be proclaimed in a way that will be used by God's spirit.
The service is at 15:00 this Sunday Dec. 2nd and afterwards Julie and I are having several families over that we are developing relationships with for an informal dessert.
Thank you for your prayer!

Grace and peace-
Darrin for the Jonesfam

Please pray for this precious ministry team as they are sharing the gospel in Aix. Trusting in God - in His power - in His goodness - in His grace. That His truth will be proclaimed. That His love will be made known.

Abide in His love.
