5/6/08:Request For Prayer

Will you pray for us?

“We want to know God’s thoughts…the rest are details”

We’re doing what we believe we are on the plant to do!

  • Share His love in ways we hear Him telling us to do
  • We’re excited to go and listen for His Voice now and along-the-way
  • “I, being in the way, the Lord led me…” [Genesis 24:27]
  • Tuesday, May 20th through June 28th 2008
We’ll travel together in the Middle East & Kyrgyzstan [Al Ain, United Arab Emirates-75 miles outside Dubai]; Travel through Amman, Jordan to Israel (Mt. Carmel); Larnica, Cyprus; flying through Moscow to Kyrgyzstan. Bethyl will return to the USA on June 22nd. Vance will travel to Guangzhou, China, returning to the USA on June 28th

Our venues include:

  • Teaching marriage and family wellness, and worship for chapel time.
  • Worldwide Mission Fellowship Convocation. Focus on the prophetic significance of Israel, the Church, and Islam with Jews, Arabs, and Gentiles from the nations being built together “as a dwelling place for God in the Spirit” [Ephesians 2:22]. Followed by a time of rest near the Sea of Galilee
  • Consulting and teaching with missionaries located in Cyprus who are involved in a mobile member care team reaching into the middle east
  • Listening… more listening … more listening  as we gather among believing workers, hoping to encourage and leave blessings along the way
  • Central Asia workers conference (“Prepare our Hearts for Intimacy, Purity, Suffering) offering consulting, counseling, and workshops & seminars for Youth with a Mission [YWAM]
  • Book editing from English to Mandarin in China, working with fourteen readers from across China. The job will be to contextualize, as appropriate to each dialect, the book Vance wrote last year for Chinese missionaries traveling from Beijing to Jerusalem.

Prayer:

  1. Wellness & safety: physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually
  2. Sufficient rest of spirit to hear His Voice
  3. Listening well ~ for Him, to one another, to all we meet informally and formally
  4. Seeking direction for our future work. Is this where God wants us to live and minister to this population of people, in this place, at this time?
