Septemeber 28: Peru



Thanks for joining us today for Peru's concert of prayer. If you were unable to make this phone call you can listen to the prayer through the WGM website at www.wgm.org/call.

David Strong led us in prayer for the ministries of Peru. Peru is fairly new field for World Gospel Mission with its primary focus in church ministries. The WGM missionary team currently works along-side two church plants and just this month one of those new plants was able to find a building to worship in. Praise the Lord!

Please continue to lift the national church of Peru before the throne. May God bless the pastors and leaders and may the church have impact in their communities.

Join the concert of prayer tomorrow as we pray for Paraguay. Be blessed.

Entering South America

Readers,
Saturday brought us another technical difficulty. I apologize you were unable to be united in prayer during our phone time but I hope that did not stop you from praying. Spain is a new field for World Gospel Mission and has newly appointed missionaries, Brad and Elizabeth Carter building their ministry partners. Learn more about this couple's ministry here.


I trust you had a wonderful morning of worship today. Some of you were able to join us for the Bolivia's concert of prayer. Betsy Phillips led us in praying for the educational ministries WGM has in Bolivia and she reminded us of the political elections that will occur in December. That reminded me of the prayer target we had in the magazine. This a good prayer reminder to keep on your prayer list:


The political conflict in the country continues unabated. The instability in the political landscape has contributed to a rise in crime in many cities throughout the country. Pray for peace, reconciliation, and unity. Pray also for the safety of the missionary team, for God’s leading to be clear to the field leadership in making ministry decisions, and for steadfastness in witnessing to the faithfulness of God regardless of the circumstances.
Be blessed.

Septemeber 25: Hungary

The concert of prayer today was for the ministries of WGM Hungary. Dan Searls led us in prayer and reminded us to pray for the kids, the missionary kids, who grow up on the field. He asked that their parents would teach them to be light to those they come in contact with. That was a reminder that touched my heart. Our MK's grow up in a very different world than how my kids grow up, but they will only bear witness wherever they are if taught to do so. What a ministry God has given parents. That's a prayer request for both the kids, grandparents, uncles, aunts, neighbors, you and me. may we be faithful to pray long after the concert is over.

If you have missed any of the concerts of prayer you can listen to them on our website. Listen to today's concert by clicking on the picture.

Join us for the concert tomorrow where we will pray for the new WGM field of Spain.

Until then, be blessed.

Entering Europe

Our concert of prayer journey has led us into Europe
and our first stop is Ukraine.

Ernie Smith led the concert praying through the specific ministries each missionary sering in Ukraine is involved with. Ernie also made the plea this field needs more missionary staff to complete the work. Could this be the area of the world God is calling you to? If you are not sure but would like to explore the possibility think about going on a short-term trip to see if God confirms it in your heart.


Have checked out The Call concert on the web?
There is some exclusive content just waiting for you to explore. The larger regions offer podcast interviews with a missionary serving in that area. In the podcast we explore social issues that this region faces. Click on the image to listen.

Join the concert tomorrow as we meet up with Hungary.
