Dear Father God we intercede for our brother mentioned by Bethany. Lead him in your service glorifying Your name, but please keep him safe from harm and the authorities. Bring him safely home when his work is done. This we ask in the precious name of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, Amen.

Not all ministers need a stage.
Not all preachers need a microphone.
Not all ministries need neon lights.
Missionaries in closed countries are going back to the basics and using the same methods as the 1st century church - using simple business opportunities to spread the Gospel.
That's why we are hosting a Christian business forum and are inviting you to come and meet our Chinese, Asian, Middle Eastern, and African partners that currently use business in closed countries to support the spread of the Gospel and how we can partner together.

WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER

This is an outstanding truth:

“God didn’t send the son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved by Him.” John 3:17

This is still true right now. God has no passion to condemn us for our failures. Failures are condemnation enough. It is not as though we were doing great before Jesus showed up and made us feel guilty. No. We are lost on our own, like sheep without a shepherd. God does not need nor desire to add to the condemnation. God sent Jesus to rescue us from our failures. Wow. That’s pretty amazing.

Why watchman née was arrested part a:

“On this day in 1952, Watchmen Nee was arrested and charged as a lawless capitalist. The communist media informed the world of the “crimes of Watchmen Nee,” citing many hundreds of alleged crimes and vices.

Among his crimes: He envisioned evangelizing all of China in the 1930s. He relentlessly encouraged Shanghai Christians to share their faith. His words were hard to ignore: ‘Because you are not witnessing, many have not heard the Gospel. They will be eternally separated from God. What a consequence of our apathy! This is my challenge to you. Witness to at least one person a day. Witness to whomever you meet. It is time for us to put feet to our faith.’ “

There are many reasons to pray, in my opinion the simplest reason is the best of all. That we just want to be near Him. Too often our prayers can be filled with purpose driven lists, when maybe just hanging out with the Triune God is all we really need.

The early part of the day has been stressful, due to persistent headaches in the last three weeks I had a consultation at my opticians who has now referred me to my Neurological Consultant, the possibility being that my residual brain tumour may have grown. So now I am sitting waiting on a phone call which may not happen anytime soon from my consultant. In this I am not afraid, my Father God is completely in control. I would appreciate prayer regarding this.

I have to be honest, as I "briskly" walk the streets here, the anger of my presence is palpable and is made vocal with hisses and unintelligible comments, but the love of Christ is greater. Hate is the sign of darkness and the greater the darkness the greater the need for the love of Christ. The carnal mind rejects the idea of sacrificial love but the enemy's aggression against it is a testimony to its power.

My daughter, Lisa is out of surgery. She ended up being worse than the doctors expected. She lot a lot of blood and is having a transfusion, she had to have a total hysterectomy but her bladder is ok and didn't need reconstruction. (Lisa was praying her bladder would be ok) she may not have to be in ICU
Baby is doing well.
Thank you for sharing this burden and now sharing in the blessing.
