Yesterday was a crushing hard day. But at the end we closed in prayer, lifting our needs and concerns to God.

A man posing as a policeman absolutely terrified Ann by telling her lies and making her think they were going to arrest her. After a few hours he got her banking info under the guise of needing to freeze her accounts. He then went into her account and took out loans (in China there is a way to do an instant loan apparently) and took all their money too. We went to the police for help.

You know it’s interesting. Spiritually speaking... as this weekend a young person asked to go to church for the first time, after learning more about God. I don’t think the devil liked that! And then this cruel mean theft.

Anyways, I am posting the PayPal link if anyone would like to give some immediate help -as all money is gone. The police say it would take months probably to get the money back and only 1% of people actually get it back.

Please pray for them.

I'm requesting prayer tonight.
I'm feeling a little down and feeling the pressure of things around. My wife and our 4 children and I are planning on moving to Brazil in around 100 days from now. We believe we have heard from the Lord over a period of a few years.
We already have our plane tickets (SkyMiles used), we are working on moving out (less than 2 months remains on our lease), I still have a crud-ton of debt that I am believing for God to miraculously remove or help with so that I can leave no debt unpaid. I have not received exact details from the Lord on what I will be doing there (ministry or small store or both or import/export).
A little background: I was invited to preach in Brazil a little over 10 years ago and went towards the end of 2011, well needless to say, the Holy Ghost revealed to us that the Pastor's daughter would be my wife (on the day before leaving from a 2 week mission), and almost 10 years later, we are 9 (happy) years married and have 4 children......

..Continued..
We moved back to the US back in March '15.
I DO believe in miracles! I serve a miracle-working God. I'm asking for prayer. My wife is a full-time stay at home mom who home-schools our children, she's amazing. And we have believed that maybe God would use Brazil to launch us out to other countries to share the Gospel. We also have a heart for/feel a draw to Africa, Mexico and Central/South America and Asia. That's not all-encompassing, I've also considered middle-eastern countries.
Well, the Lord knows all. I know I've been pretty quiet on here for privacy's sake, but I felt that I should reach out, open up and ask for prayer, so thank you in advance.
Blessings be upon you in Jesus' name.

Slavery is alive and well.
Christians are not helpless - there is a way to help stop it.

Appointment scheduled for an hour and 45 min from now to follow up and see what the next steps are for our daughter. Thanks so much for your prayers. God is faithful.

Oh wow!! Talk about earthquakes in diverse places!

The current government regime in America is against the will of the people. We are being cheated, lied too, stolen from, bullied, and ignored. I pray for deliverance.

What holds back deliverance? Our sin. How can God deliver us from liars and thieves if we are lying and cheating too?

The Western Church has not preached morality for a long time out of fear that someone might accuse us of “works-based righteousness.” The result is a lack of morality. We should have seen that coming.

We need to cry out for God to heal our land and deliver us from evil. God will respond to that prayer when our “amen” includes our own repentance from compromise.

“Come close to God and He will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded...Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.” James 4:8,10

Lockdown or No Lockdown, Job or No Job, Business Or No business, Gospel must be shared. Youth empowerment Gospel sharing and House church establishment. Keep in prayer.

@sinbach such a God-ordained project and opportunity. Praying He will give both of you the grace and strength to carry the responsibility of it 🙏🏼❤️

Dear DingDash family, please keep us in your prayers today. I am here in the US writing Meriam Ibrahim's story. Not an easy story. Yesterday was filled with emotion and tears as Meriam talked about being born in a refugee camp, her father brutally murdering her aunt for an honor killing, her mother being tied up for two days and raped, and her running away and hiding to escape circumcision - only to be forcefully dragged back to the village and the Muslim elders publicly witnessing her genital mutilation - and this was all before she was even 7 years old!
We can use all the prayers we can get for this project.

*UPDATE * On my daughter, Lisa, and baby.
Miracles all around!! Lisa had a terrible Accreta case, she lost 5 liters of blood during surgery! She has amazed the doctor and nurses by healing so quickly. The nurse said most ppl with cases like Lisa are in bed for 2 weeks. Lisa was out of the hospital in 5 days. Two weeks later and she is doing amazing!!
Baby, Kynlee, has also been hitting each goal set for her. Today her feeding tube was taken out. She recovers quickly when her oxygen levels dip AND... She may be discharged in a day or two!!
I came home yesterday. It was a stressful time but also a time of many blessings caring for my other two granddaughters.
Thank you all for praying! My love to all of you!

I still haven't been able to see the baby😢 ...but soon🙏

In Nigeria, Christian persecution rose by 60% last year and nearly half of Christians killed for their faith worldwide were killed in Nigeria.
Our brothers and sisters need our prayers.

Prayers appreciated. My family and I are going through a time of testing. May we be faithful and experience anew the faithfulness of God. Physical healing for my daughter, healing of difficult relationships in extended family, and that we grow more in the likeness of Christ as we look to Him, are some of the petitions I'm lifting to the throne of grace.

It may feel as though life has slowed down during all the lockdowns and restrictions the past year, but BTJ missionaries are still faithfully taking the Gospel into the most unreached nations in the world.
Our prayers are a vital part of their work. Would you take time to pray for them today?

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.’ “

People of God...thank you for your love and support!
I'm home not too well...to be honest. Need to rest much...but I'm getting stronger...but must take it very very easy.

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.

For those that wondering about @Olamide, and where he had gone, he's asked me to let you know he's been in hospital these past 29 days. He's had two major surgeries, and is now home - let out on Good Friday.

Can you join me and of pray for his full, and complete, recovery! He needs to take things easy for quite a while.

I wanted to say more, before, but didn't until I had spoken with him - and got his permission to share this.

I think @MaryMamuzich you were one of the ones asking after him, but I couldn't find your post to reply to it on his behalf.

I'll have another look in a minute...
