For Power Hour this week,  Rob went along to Aberdeen Christian Fellowship to meet Brother AJ from South Asia.
Brother AJ's heart is to reach people with The Gospel.  Through absolute Trust in God, Brother AJ and the Mission he oversees has been able thus far to reach over 551,000 people with the Gospel not only directly but giving over 4,301 bibles, helping 424 widows with monthly aid, helping 37 farming families with aid, feeding 993 homeless children weekly.

Power Hour - Producing Fruit

Applying God's Word in Prayer.  
Fruitfulness of a tree or crop depends on the root stock.  Even in stony soil,  root stock that delves deep is likely to enable a tree to survive in times of drought or hardship. 
Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.
Hebrew  7:25
 
Jeremiah 17:5-10
Wisdom from the Lord
5 
This is what the Lord says:“Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans,    who rely on human strength    and turn their hearts away from the Lord.
6 
They are like stunted shrubs in the desert,    with no hope for the future.They will live in the barren wilderness,    in an uninhabited salty land.
7 
“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord    and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
8 
They are like trees planted along a riverbank,    with roots that reach deep into the water.Such trees are not bothered by the heat    or worried by long months of drought.Their leaves stay green,    and they never stop producing fruit.
9 
“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things,    and desperately wicked.    Who really knows how bad it is?
10 
But I, the Lord, search all hearts    and examine secret motives.I give all people their due rewards,    according to what their actions deserve.”
