Dear Family & Friends,
After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him two by two into every town and place where he himself was about to go. He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest. Go!…” Luke 10:1-3a
In this familiar passage of scripture Jesus charges his disciples to go ahead of Him to prepare the people for His coming. As they were going, He also charges them to pray to God for more workers to be sent out to the harvest fields. This is not unlike what He has asked us to do as we prepare for His return. A fellow missionary couple in Taiwan, Chad & Alicia Edwards, have friends that have made it possible for us to be reminded to pray for the harvest via our cell phones. We’ll let Chad share with you how.
“Can you imagine the impact of thousands of people praying daily for a specific country? We believe with this kind of prayer, we as the Body of Christ have the potential to bring hope and salvation to whole nations and people groups. In order to mobilize a larger prayer team, we are challenging all of you to begin praying daily at 10:02 for Taiwan.
You can set alarms on your watches and cell phones to give you
a daily reminder to say a prayer for Taiwan, based on Luke 10:2
(The harvest is great, but the workers are few.)
If you use a cell phone and would like a Daily 10o2 for Taiwan Text Reminder, you can join our team by texting one of the following “keywords”, followed by your first and last name.
Choose the “keyword” that corresponds to your current Time Zone.
Eastern Time Zone: “10o2eastern”
Central: “10o2central”
Mountain: “10o2mountain”
Pacific: “10o2pacific”
EXAMPLE: 10o2central John Dunn
Then….TEXT that message to the following number:
59769
You will then be a part of our 10:02 for Taiwan Prayer Team! “
Please consider joining the 10:02 Taiwan Prayer Team.
Please pray for the Eternal Light congregation as they have started a new prayer meeting on Monday evenings. Right now they are praying specifically for the unbelieving spouses of our members and those that God would have them to invite to the Christmas and New Year activities.
Please pray for Dave and Jeanay Stiles as they are beginning a bible study at the City Government offices this coming Thursday at 12:30 p.m.
Please pray for us as we will be going to the Team Expansion Team Leader Summit this week. Then we are off to Johnson University to watch a play that Nathanael is directing. Next week we will also be attending the National Missionary Convention where John will be assisting in three workshops. Moriah and Andrew will be staying with friends while we are gone so that they will not miss school. Please pray for health and safety and above all, that God is glorified in all these activities.
Thank you once again for your faithful prayers.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
