Pray for Burma's Government

Pray for the Generals leading the Burmese government....

This country needs prayer as they are going through these struggles. Continue to pray for the Christians that are living there as they follow Christ. As Americans, our first thought is always about democracy, but as Christians our thoughts head towards Kingdom work. Christ works through all circumstances to draw lost people to himself. This is no different.

It seems that we get caught up in the human drama of events and overlook the mission of Christ working through us. It is sometimes a struggle for me to see how God is working in a situation. I pray that God would open my eyes to the work He is carrying out all around us. I pray that God would move me to join Him in His work.

Pray for Burma

As there is unrest in Burma, or as the rest of the world knows it, Myanmar, we need to be praying for the Christians there as they are seeking to spread the Good News.

Buddhist Monks are demonstrating for human rights....

Political change can make it more difficult to spread the word of God even as it seems that democracy is on the move. God has been at work in this country and we pray that through all this, people will seek Him.

Prayer Works as the Work Goes On

The missions team in Thailand is planning a presentation with the management team at a resort in the area to allow Bible distributions. There are many Chinese tourists who visit this resort and it would be a great opportunity to share God's Word with them. Please pray for the team as they make the presentations and build relationships that will allow doors to open to the sharing of God's Word.

It has been a few weeks since we got back from our trip. It seems so much longer as we have gotten busy with our work and school starting up. I have had lots of time to reflect on all that we got to be a part of. It amazes me how God used us during that time. I have learned to rely on Him in prayer so much more than I ever did before. I have been trying something new since learning about prayer walking. I have been prayer driving on the way to work. Spending my time in prayer during my commute has brought me closer to God on a daily basis and made the drive go much faster. I don't know how I got through without praying regularly before.
