November 11, 2009

I'm traveling again for Cornerstone . . .

Dear Friends,

God has blessed me with restored health and I'm able to travel again.

Pray-Care-Share in the United States ~
Pray . . . Pray with me, as this morning I leave for the coastal region of Grays Harbor, Washington. Pray-Care-Share will be a part of outreach efforts in that area.

Pray also as I travel to Portland on Friday, where I will be meeting with Luis Palau’s son, Kevin, to discuss Pray-Care-Share and their ministry. The Luis Palau Ministries have moved their focus from evangelistic crusades to presenting citywide Festivals of Love.

Next week I will be meeting with pastors and church leaders in 10 cities adjacent to Boise/Treasure Valley, Idaho, to train and equip them to develop a Pray-Care-Share culture in their churches.

Planning is under way for Pray-Care-Share events in 5 geographic regions of Coachella Valley for April 2010 – amazing for something that began with a handful of pastors a few years ago.

God is also opening doors for a global focus ~
Praise God . . . Cornerstone is ministering in new places that we had not even imagined before going to Call2All. It was definitely the direction of the Holy Spirit for us to be there and broaden our horizons. I’m excited to be involved with the following ministries as a mentor and to provide information and resources:

Mongolia – A ministry leader for YWAM in Mongolia is enthusiastic about using Pray-Care-Share with new believers as they plant new churches. They planted 25 churches within a two-month period.
 
China – God is opening doors to reach factory workers in China for Christ.
 
India - 100,000 new church leaders in northern India will be trained this year, and Pray-Care-Share will be encouraged as a strategy.
 
Finishing the Task – I’m working with leaders of Finishing the Task regarding how Pray-Care-Share can be used to reach the 639 unengaged, unreached people groups with populations over 100,000, together numbering over 535,000,000 souls with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
 
Middle East, Europe and South America – leaders of Lifelong Leadership Network International and church planters with New Mission Systems International are interested in promoting Pray-Care-Share as they reach these countries with the gospel of Christ.

YWAM – in 149 countries. I serve on the board of YWAM president John Dawson’s Advisory Council for YWAM, which presently has 20,000 workers, and is serving around the world – probably one of the best mission models of Pray-Care-Share.
Thank God for YOU ~
In this season of thanksgiving I am so thankful for your support and encouragement that makes this all possible.

In our incredible Christ’s name,
