Praise and Prayer...
There are lots of praise items to mention, but I don't want to bore you too much, so I'll just stick to a couple:
- We sent a Serve Asia Worker (Andy) to the urban poor community in the Philippines. He felt a burden for Christian and Christopher (not yet Christians), and asked us to pray on the homeside. God moved my heart to share Andy's burden in a conference in Ottawa, where over 100 Godly people prayed for Andy, Christian and Christopher. Three weeks later, Christian and Christopher accepted Christ as their Lord and Saviour! Too cool for words...
- 9 people were approved to serve as full-time OMF missionaries on July 10 and July 14. They will be working in Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonnesia, China. They had rigorous cross-cultural training (2 weeks straight at Tyndale) and 1 week at OMF Candidate Course. Listening to each of their testimonies and how God has been leading and calling them to full-time missions has been a privilege to be a part of. Praise God for allowing the Candidate Council to display discernment in approving these workers.
Now for my personal prayer items...
- Listening ear for those returning back home from the field. They need proper debriefing from someone willing to listen and to ready to challenge. Please pray that I would be the person to help short-termers returning "home" to figure out what's next.
- Quickplace will be a crucial resource in providing encouragement and accountability for Serve Asia Alumni, as it will act as an online community. Pray that the set-up of this will go smoothly.
- I don't quite know where this desire to study the Bible has come from (ok, I have an inkling...), but I've decided to apply part-time to study at Tyndale. Since serving with OMF, I feel inadequate in my knowledge of the Word. Want to go, but don't have the funds...please pray that God would provide (if it is His will).
- Shannon and I will be leading a seminar on crossing cultures and culture-shock for the India mission team at Milal Church. Please pray that this would be a great time in preparing workers to cope with various culture-clashes.
- Serve Asia Alumni Retreat will be held in our Toronto Mission Home at Avenue Road from September 9~11, 2005. We will be covering sections on re-entry, coping mechanisms, accountability partnerships, intro to Quickplace, how to share your story, module presentations and much more. Please pray that I will be filled with the Spirit when I lead the many returning home.
