Dear Grand Avenue Baptist Family,
Sunday, October 4, is coming, and Dr. R.T. Kendall will preach on TOTAL FORGIVENESS. I plead with you: don't miss Sunday morning and bring people with you to this worship service. I have heard him preach this message in two different churches, and I have seen major life change occur among every generation. Earlier this week, we recorded a personal message to you about this Sunday--please give one minute to watch it here and share it with others.
Before your next pastor is called here, I want at least 29 more of you to join our TOGETHER We Pray Ministry. We already have 371 participants, and I want to see over 400 of you in this ministry soon. We launched this ministry on January 1, 2026. Each month, I create and send these participants a short letter from me and about six prayer points that serve as a guide as we join in prayer, agreeing together. Here is what we ask of you: (1) Commit to praying 30 minutes weekly for your church using these points and this guide. (2) Wherever you are located in the world, find that 30 minutes and be consistent each week. Please join this ministry now. Click here and join today. You will hear from us immediately.
Weekly, I write, create, and a team in Northwest Arkansas produces The Ronnie Floyd Podcast. This podcast is usually under 30 minutes in length. On September 27, we released the 104th episode called Gratitude Reflections on Life and Ministry (Click here to listen to it now). I want you to listen, be encouraged, and hopefully inspired in your life by the power of what God can do. Each Wednesday, we release a new podcast episode.
Soon we will share with you all that God has done in our midst at Grand Church over the past few months. Just think: the breakthroughs, the salvations, the baptisms, and the spirit of the church all began to change since mid-February, after we started our Prayer Ministry and observed 21 Days of Prayer. Friends, God answers prayer!
Finally, God knows our church's great need for a Pastor, so we need to pray with fervency. Read and pray Acts 13:2-3 right now. If you are not sure how to pray, pray in this way:
• Lord, set apart the Pastor you have for our church right now.
• God, lead members of our church to worship, pray, and fast so that this occurs and You will call him here.
• Father, lead our Pastor Search Committee as they seek Your God-called Pastor for our church. We call their names to You now, asking that You give them clarity, wisdom, and the call of God, assuring them, "Anoint him, for he is the one." 1 Samuel 16:12. We call their names out to You now:
Keith Hayes, Chairman; Brad Lewis, Vice-Chairman; Emily Williams, Secretary; Randy Morehart; Michael Atchley; Joyce Haver; Bill Molder; Kim Dickens; Dr. Jody Bradshaw.
See you Sunday and Bring Someone With You,
Dr. Ronnie W. Floyd
