Some of you may remember the persecution riots in Orissa state of India in August 2008. Thousands of believers in Orissa were attacked, some killed, and their homes and churches were destroyed in the Kandhamal district. Orissa state of India remains the darkest state of all of India to the Gospel. This region remains to this day a restricted region.
It is here that God has open the door for MTM to conduct a five day leadership conference with Orissa state pastors. We are anticipating approximately 80 pastors and church leaders who will be attending this conference. Our dates are February 25 to March 1, 2013. Brother Ray Weaver from Lancaster, Pennsylvania will be traveling with me as a guest teacher.
Here Are Some Specific Prayer Requests …
1) Pray that we would be empty vessels filled with the Holy Spirit to minister.
2) Pray that God would give us cross cultural ministry gifts.
3) Pray for our native interpreters.
4) Pray for our protection and safety.
5) Pray that God would grant us good physical health to minister.
6) Pray for our wives and children back home in America & Thailand.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFUL PRAYER SUPPORT
