When people pray, things happen!
We are grateful that we are doing missions to share the Good News of Jesus together with you. We are better together. One thing I love is the connectedness of the media family that we live and move in. We have heard from several partners in Turkey. They have not lost any team members and are actively working to get services to people in need. We are praying for the media opportunities of our partners right now. When people are hurting and displaced it is an important moment to tell them of hope in Jesus Christ. Our Spanish church took an offering on Sunday that will go directly to Turkey and Syria through mission's channels. It’s a small world in the kingdom of God and the generosity and big hearts of people never cease to encourage me.
I don’t know if you have heard of a recent initiative started by the Assemblies of God World Missions headquarters. It is an emphasis on prayer and focus on Hindu and Buddhist people groups. They need more missionaries and outreach. Not long after this prayer focus began, we had a connection with some people in India through a member of our IMM Forever family. (That’s what we call the people who have spent time at IMM through the years.) In a God-serendipitous moment, we now are moving ahead to produce The Heritage Project in Hindi with a local presenter. At the same time, one of our church partners sponsored a virtual team member to record the Parables of Jesus in India with a Hindi-speaking pastor. (A virtual team member is someone who gives their time to work for IMM from the US instead living in Spain as a full-time mission's worker.)
I see all of this as a result of people's prayers. The coordination, the connections, the funds! Prayer is making a difference! Please continue to pray. This really could be the generation where all have a chance to hear the Gospel.
