Wanted to shout out a recent podcast episode from @Cmarquis and Nathan. They highlighted some pretty major statistics:

61% of Christians have never shared their faith

42% of the world still live in unreached people groups

There are 900 churches and 78,000 evangelical Christians for every one unreached people group

51% of church attendees in the US were unfamiliar with the term 'Great Commission'

Here's the podcast if you want to give it a listen: https://forgeforward.org/blog/2021/07/13/episode-84-fresh-god-stories-from-the-field/

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter amen. SO be it in Jesus name.

Don't forget the Cyrus' to fund the rebuilding of the temple and Mordecais to raise Esthers and the Ezras who have been commanded by the King to teach the people scripture

Calling out 'unconventional resources and people ' to stand with people of God who proclaim the Good News (Salvation through Jesus) John 3:16.

Praying for Pharoah's daughters who will pay spiritual Jochebed's to bring up Moseses.

Rahab's in every country, who will tie Scarlet cords and open their windows for the Gospel spies to escape and conquer nations.

@moamfj Amen!
Father, help us to focus on you and remember that you are in control.

It is our disobedience that is causing the delay in taking over the land, you have promised us, we confess
Open our eyes, ears and hearts to see chariots of fire ... and to recognize the present season's Cyrus, Esther, Mordecai, Ezra, Rahab and Jochebed.

Philippians 3:12‭-‬14 #TPT
I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into his abundance so that I may reach the purpose for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me to make me his own.
I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead.
I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus.

@mensajero Praying for Bhutan.
May the Lord protect new believers.
The Church of Bhutan may rise as one body and destroy the works of the devil.

We break the curse of poverty and witchcraft that is affecting the frontline disciples.
We come against hoarding and nepotism eithin the Body of Christ .
We speak abundance ( John 10:10) and Life upon the Nation.
In Jesus Name!

The flooding in China is crazy!
It is going to impact China in many ways! Many people are missing! Many people have drowned, as most Chinese do not know how to swim. There are people crying out for help to find their loved ones! Entire Farms have been washed away! Apparently millions of livestock have drowned or been basically standing in flood waters unable to eat for days! This will once again create a lack of food! Entire crops gone! Entire livelihoods washed away! We will be looking at price increases for food here once again! At the beginning to Covid they went high but have been slowly coming back down......but this will once again change things!

Chinese Christians are banding together and helping in the most beautiful sacrificial ways! It brings me to tears as I hear reports of brothers and sisters racing to the flood frontlines to help!

this small video is nearby where we live and it is nothing compared to Henan flooding! Our friend sent it....

My wife and I are in CHRIST JESUS and HE's been our guide for many years through many dark times. Most of which are our own doing. Our adult daughter has cancer and is terminal. She loves THE LORD YSHUA and knows where she is going when HE calls her home. Our youngest son is severely mentally ill and is hospitalized at the writing of this message. All we are asking is for GOD's mercy and grace to be poured out upon our two children fighting for their lives. Please pray for Christina and Christopher.

I wanted to pray more effectively, and more specifically, for the persecuted church. And Nigeria has been on my mind for a while now.

I highly recommend @sinbach 's podcast with @Olamide - https://backtojerusalem.com/podcast/episode-586-the-christian-persecution-is-real-in-nigeria/

It is a really helpful call to action!

And next week in Prayer 2:62 we're gonna have a focus on praying for Nigeria, so I asked Olly D for a video clip we could use, and he sent me the video I've used here.

If nothing else, Olly makes it super simple what, why and how to pray and that's a priceless gift in, and of, itself!

"The Devil doesn't care if you have served the Lord in the past. What makes him frightened is if you are living for Jesus Christ today".

"Living Water" - Brother Yun

He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.” He said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son."

Jesus is doing incredible things - students being saved, set free, and set on fire for Christ!

7 have decided to follow Jesus and scores of others have made spiritual decisions to seek Jesus more deeply. Many have found freedom in Christ! Pray that even more find purpose in his mission in the days ahead!!!!

People of God in your prayers, please do remember the Christians in Northern Nigeria: Pray against the very evil spirit of radical Islam..pray for the Nigerian Government to act to stop the killings and abductions...pray that the International Community would work to stop it!
Pray for the protection of Christians in Nigeria.. pray for those who are suffering. Thank you!

This weekend a Word from God put my trials in proper perspective!

Dishwasher just caught on fire......thankfully it was only for 15 seconds cos I was at the cooker at the time

Now waiting on an emergency plumber to disconnect it so we can get it out the house...it stinks!!!

Power isolated and I've just burst into tears on Jo because at least it happened when we weren't asleep and I could act immediately - even if the smoke detectors are really good, and get tested regularly by me that, is a shock have never faced - and this is why I check those smoke detectors!!

Estate agent have been AMAZING...spoke to the director who immediately assured me he would be underwriting any damage etc

Thankfully, it's just just a dead dishwasher, a bad smell - which we're currently venting, and nothing more.....

Praise God I was standing right near to it

Actual flames coming out the front of the dishwasher!!!!!!!!!!
