Thanks and Praise – Songs From the Soil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES0S-BkMnXM&list=RDES0S-BkMnXM&start_radio=1
“For the Lord is a great God, a great King above all gods. He holds in his hands the depths of the earth and the mightiest mountains. The sea belongs to him, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land, too.” (Psalm 95:3-5)
Father, we praise You for who You are – the King of kings and LORD of Lords. We praise You for Your mighty power to hold the world in Your hands and sustain everything that You have made.
“Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” (Proverbs 4:23)
Thank You, Wellspring, for national partners and collaborators in the Horn of Africa who are bringing the Gospel to a hard, dry, and thirsty land. Thank You for guarding hearts that have chosen to follow Jesus above all else, for their hearts are the wellsprings of life.
Team Expansion Worker
Please join A and C in South Asia in lifting these requests and praises before our God:
-Pray for discernment as we continue to hire more staff and invest in the staff we already have on the team. There have already been deaths of close relatives in their families and other heavy problems.
-Ask for continued opportunities to pray with others and share why we live the way we do.
-Pray that we can open the coffee shop soon. The construction is dragging on longer than desired, but there is only so much we can do to push it forward.
-Pray for wisdom on how to build a work culture that is honoring to God. We can’t be in the know of all that is going on all the time, but we want to ensure that our workplace is different than the “norm” of what can be and that each employee feels valued.
-Pray for some visa difficulties and delays that are happening in our city still.
-Praise God for the new relationships we are developing with our employees! A few hard conversations have already happened where people were on the verge of being fired, but these have ended in deeper relationships and changed attitudes.
-Praise God for continued progress in the coffee shop construction and that we have a team of employees working to make it all happen!
-Praise God for His financial provision and how we can trust Him to provide for us. Even when seeing our bank account get lower, we knew God would provide, and He has.
-Praise God for C recovering well from Dengue Fever. She was quite sick and unable to do much. Thankfully, A and daughter N did not get bitten by the same mosquito and avoided getting sick.
Pray for More Workers
Lord of the Harvest, we ask You to thrust out more workers for Your harvest fields. LORD, we praise You for holding Italy in Your hands. We praise You for being trustworthy to do what is best and what is needed to draw the Italians into Your kingdom.
