One Minute Devotion
In Herman Melville's Moby Dick, there's a turbulent scene in which a whaleboat pursues the great white whale. The sailors are laboring fiercely. The cosmic conflict between good and evil is joined. Chaotic sea and demonic sea monster versus a morally outraged man, Captain Ahab. In this boat, though, there is one man who does nothing. He's the harpooner. Quiet, poised, waiting. And then this sentence: "To ensure the greatest efficiency of the dart, the harpooners of this world must start to their feet out of idleness and not out of toil."

"...put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore" (Psalm 131:3).

Lord Jesus, help us to live and minister out of a quiet confidence in Your sufficiency rather than out of a desperate franticness. In Your holy name we pray Amen.

Church Information

The partnership between local churches and Faith and Action is a vital component to the success of our missionary efforts on Capitol Hill and around the nation. There are many ways in which churches can help including sending short term missionary or construction teams to Washington, making Faith and Action part of your local church missionary support program, or bringing Rob Schenk in to minister to your congregation for a Sunday service.

To view sample videos of Rob’s ministry in local churches, click here.

If you are interested in Rob’s ministry and want to invite Rob to preach, please take a moment and fill out our Local Church Questionnaire. There is also a Statement of Financial Understanding you will need to review, sign and send back to us.
