Then he said to his disciples,
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly
to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:37-38, ESV)
Ever since I was 16 and I stepped on the foreign soil of
Panama, I have had a belief and a dream that my generation will fulfill the
Great Commission of our Lord. I believe God is orchestrating this prayer
movement for this very purpose: to pray for laborers to fulfill the Great
Commission. This is the strategy Jesus gave to His disciples for getting
laborers unto the mission field: prayer. Having been called by God in a strong
way as a teenager to be a part of fulfilling the Great Commission, I find
myself, now, right in the middle of God’s strategy for actually pulling the
dream off that I had as a teenager!
Last month we began twenty-four hour long small group prayer
meetings in one of our Great Commission Rooms covering individual nations. I am
helping to give leadership to this effort in the Night Watch. These prayer
groups are now crying out every Monday 24 hours for the gospel of Jesus Christ
to break in to these twenty-four nations. I have personally taken the 2-3 am
slot praying for Panama. My team and I have been focusing our prayers on the
un-reached people groups deep in the Darien jungle. The Holy Spirit has broken
in many times giving us specific direction as we pray. In addition, I have come
into contact through the internet with some missionaries in Panama. We have
been getting specific directives from them, covering their work among the Kuna
people in prayer.
Presentations Keeps Intercessors Informed
Night Watch intercessors are staying informed through
Multimedia Presentations showing the latest news on the government and the
ending of abortion. These presentations contain pictures of the Supreme Court
Justices, Senators, and our President, verses from the Bible, specific prayer
points tied in with the latest news, and abortion statistics. I am overseeing
this project, gathering the information and building the presentations.
Special Need This Month
Last month upon walking outside, I was surprised to find my
rear window broken out and my car stereo stolen. Overall, the damage
added up to about $300. Being on a tight missionary budget this has
hurt me financially. God is as always, so faithful! If you would like to give
towards this special need please click the image below.
