Septemeber 22: India

An Emphasis on Education

Kevin Zirkle led us in prayer for India at the concert today. South India Biblical seminary is at the heart of what World Gospel Mission does in India. Hundreds of SIBS graduates are in ministry taking the message of Christ to their own people. Pray for these graduates as they are impacting India with the Gospel. Because of government restrictions, a missionary presence in India is not a long-term commitment. The school is need of professors who will continue to challenge the next generation of leaders to win India for Christ. Is this an area in which you can serve? If so, contact recruiting@wgm.org. If teaching is not your strong point please continue to pray for this need.

Join the concert tomorrow as we pray for Papua New Guinea.

KAZAKHSTAN, ASIA

Today we were able to join our hearts together and pray for the ministries in Kazakhstan.

In Kazakhstan you cannot freely share your faith. That's a luxury I have living in the United States. Because I can freely share my concern for the people of Kazakhstan I have been able to impact the ministries there from right where I live. In fact, I have partnered with Kazakhstan to help the Apple Tree ministry. My coworkers and I raised money to provide winter clothes and coats for children at the Apple Tree House.

You can do that too. Want to know how? My office took on this project through the Great Co-Mission catalog. We asked our friends, family, and church to support this need and were able to raise enough to provide warm clothes and coats to over a dozen kids. It wasn't hard and there are several projects like this in the catalog. You can view the catalog at www.wgm.org/catalog. Build your team and make an impact for missions in your neighborhood. There are kids on the other side of the world who will thank you.

Blessings,

The Concert Enters Asia

If you were able to join us for a prayer time this weekend you have
probably noticed that we entered Asia, praying for Japan and Taiwan.

Kevin Zirkle joined us praying from Japan on Saturday. He shared with us upcoming events that will effect the ministries of Japan. From Zac Motts preparing to marry to the Japan Congress on Evangelism happening later this week. Let's continue to pray for God to work in the heart's of our church leaders and also, that God would raise leaders in the younger generation to carry the church in the years to come. May God's perfect will be done.

Denny Craker joined us from Taiwan this afternoon. I had a chance to chat with Denny before our prayer time and it was midnight in Taiwan. He was thankful for the opportunity to pray with all of us and share with us what God is doing in the Craker's ministry.

As you heard from Denny's prayer each one of his family members are involved in ministry. This is not unusual for our missionary staff. That's a good reminder to pray for the protection of these families. As they continue to give of themselves in ministry pray that they will take the time they need to also be filled with the Spirit. Pray that their devotional times will keep their spiritual cups full and protect their marriages, families, and relationships.

Margaret Farnsworth is scheduled to pray with us tomorrow for the ministries of Kazakhstan. Don't miss it. Be blessed.

Septemeber 18: Sudan

A Broader View

Today Billy Coppedge, currently serving in Uganda and Sudan, led our prayer concert for the field of Sudan. Sudan is a fairly new field for World Gospel Mission so I learned quite a bit about this ministry during our prayer time. I'll be able to pray better for the ministry in Sudan now and I hope you will too.

If you missed the concert and would like to hear the prayer click here.

Praying with Billy today reminded me of there prayer targets you see throughout this edition of The Call, WGM's bi-monthly magazine. The prayer targets are designed to give you a social issues that this portion of the world is facing so you can pray more specifically for the Sudanese.

Here is Sudan's prayer target:

Following a terrible civil war that ravaged the country of Sudan, the media spotlight is gone and the road to recovery is long and pockmarked. Pray for long-lasting peace and reconciliation. Pray for the safety of relief workers. Ask the Holy Spirit to flood the country with a desire for the truth of the gospel. Pray that the church will grow in southern Sudan and will reach the lost in the north and the west.

The prayer concert continues tomorrow as we pray for Japan. See you at the concert!

Ken Hopson shared several requests from the field. He shared the requests from each missions station. At Heritage International School you can pray for several students who have recently lost relatives and caregivers. Pray that God will provide them grace during this period of grief.

Thanks to all who made this possible.”
