This is not a theological treatise, but a word of testimony which we share to encourage other Christians.
It was around a dozen years ago that our lives were shattered when our son’s marriage broke up and he stopped following the Lord. We felt very lonely (though dear Christian friends sought to encourage us), as it was an experience we never expected to happen in our family which had been blessed over generations with those who loved and served the Lord.
Path trod by others
As we moved through those dark days, we slowly found that others had gone down the same path and they too felt discouraged and lonely. As we visited other churches, conferences and overseas in the Lord’s work, we found more and more who wanted to share with us. Slowly we built up a circle of Christian friends who wanted to pray for and encourage each other. So we built up a prayer circle to this end.
