I'm working on a project with a friend... it's called yes I am and it's her brain/ heart child. She's a mother and wife and church staff member with little time to offer the world as far as trips to foreign lands or even typical state-side social mission projects. So out of a place of needed to fulfill that desire and answer the call of God on the life of EVERY believer (Matt 28: 18-19), she is working to develop a project of her own that can work for the working-believer with too many responsibilities to allow for 15 day missions trips to Africa and India and here and yon. I'm not sure how much exactly I'm allow to spill out directly at this time, but I know that this project needs your prayers. We're working to kind of "introduce" the whole thing at an event either late this fall (meaning Late Nov) or at some point in the winter. As we team together to make social justice for Jesus' namesake possible, let's pray that the hearts of women across the globe will be "moved with compassion" (Matt 9:36-38) and compelled to action. We Americans cannot bear the brunt of Christ's evangelistic call alone. We must inspire others in nations abroad to take up their cross as well and be the light there in the dark streets and dusty villages of their homelands.
Raising up, and supporting, local mission leaders that the unreached can relate to, may be the only way that foreigners can see Christ's image... Someone that looks like them, speaks their language, trades in their own market... It can be a powerful image.
I say all that to say, Please pray. The harvest is ripe but the laborers are few. Let's be dealers in hope even if our only resource is prayer. That is resource enough for God!
