The Walk to Emmaus

"Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus.  While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them...their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight.  They said to each other, 'Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?' "

The Gospel of Luke 24:13, 15, 31-32

Happy New Year, and welcome to 2023!

Like many other people at this time of the year I find myself reflecting on the past and looking towards the future.  This past year brought our community a lot of victories and a lot of challenges, and I am grateful that I was able to be a part of both.  The victories remind us why we serve in the HNEC Community and help sustain us when we face new challenges, and the trials grow our faith and bring us closer to God.  I look forward to seeing the amazing things that God will do through our Community to impact the lives of the future Fourth Day members that will join us in 2023, and the lives of the Fourth Day members who will serve together on Walks.  I encourage you to prayerfully consider inviting someone to attend a Walk this year, and to commit to supporting a Walk this year by joining the 72-hour prayer vigil, attending a Fourth Day event, being a Day Servant, or serving on a Walk team.

The dates for the 2023 Walks are shown directly below this message.

I look forward to serving with you this year and hope to see you at a Fourth Day event soon!
