Prayer as it relates to evangelism is the “ongoing communication with the Lord as we rely on Him to guide our steps, open doors of opportunity, and provide the words and boldness we need in our conversations.” - Source: David Souther in "The Vital Role of the Holy Spirit in Evangelism"
Thank you so much for praying! We're deeply grateful that you take the following requests before our Father’s throne in intercession. Thanks for uplifting our current prayer praises, prayer requests, and intercessory prayers noted below:
- Continue to pray for future Koala Love outreaches in May and upcoming months in 2024. Please pray for the logistics and for these events to be scheduled soon.
- Continue to pray for the Rhythms in Motion (RIM) project to become a reality. We continue to meet with others and work on this project. I.e., Joel had a meeting this morning and attending a business luncheon tomorrow. We're learning more and more and want to see RIM become a reality. We depend upon prayer!
- For opportunities being presented to minister with various outreaches in Northern Thailand. Joel & Kelly are in contact with nationals in full-time ministry and are seeking the Lord's direction about how we may serve with them, and in what way.
- For our brothers and sisters in Ambala, India, who are in the midst of construction a worship/service building. They need about $20,000 to complete the project, and have asked us to pray for this need. They are sending us videos and pictures weekly of their progress.
- For Joel - wisdom - as he mentors younger missionaries in Chiang Mai.
- For a possible "ministry trip" to India this fall. We're currently praying about this possibility.
- Continue to pray for Joel, for writing a book about reaching out to Thai Buddhist seekers with the Gospel. Please pray for the Lord's wisdom and guidance. The timing hasn't seemed right yet to begin; still waiting for the Lord's "go-ahead" to begin.
- Continue to pray for open doors to regularly evangelize and share our faith with Thai people, whether it is through our outreach projects, or in our daily lives.
- Continue to pray for Janaya as she home schools and takes an art class at a local international school. Pray she will be healthy: physically, emotionally, and mentally. She had a good physical report from the doctor this past Saturday, but still needs prayer for good health in all areas of her life.
- Continue to pray for Thai Buddhist seekers, that they will find freedom in giving their lives to Jesus Christ and turn from placating evil spirits. Pray that they will know and experience the power that Jesus has over every spirit.
- Ongoing: please continue to pray for an increase in our monthly funding and support for work and personal needs.
- Monthly reminder (to help with effective, detailed prayer): We have an "Intercede for Thailand" Facebook page (private group), located at https://www.facebook.com/groups/558335915595383: Please "like" and join us in interceding for Thailand. Updated weekly, you'll find more specific prayers for Thailand on this FB page.
