Pray While There Is Time, Work While It Is Day
J & C
SOUTH ASIA
A large cloud looms over the nation. The cloud is dark. It holds huge uncertainties. The fight against the Maoists insurgency has reduced to body count. Everyday. There is much anticipation for April 2-6.
The insurgents have called for a week nation-wide shutdown. There are rumors to plan the shutdown to coincide with the school leaving certificate examinations. The aim is to cripple the state’s education system. The public is doubtful of the government assurance of protection. People fearing for their lives simply succumb to the threats. Helplessness and paralysis are setting in on the nation.
It’s not time for retreat. Neither is there room for despair. As evil rages on, the fight for lost souls must continue. Our Master has instructed us to watch and pray. Our knees are to bend as we pay close attention to the end-times. While the door is opened and when there is still light, our spiritual harvesting work must go on. We need you as our watchmen in such dark times. Look to heaven and stand in the gap for us.
Please pray for:
- J’s coming trips to the villages.
- Easter weekend in CNL-Bg.
- Apr 11-14 visit to CNL-Be.
- End April water dunking in CNL-Nr.
- C’s weekly children church.
- Himalayan Home of Refuge – for spiritual well being for our boys. (Last Friday we celebrated Daniel and Jacob’s two years stay with us!)
- Foodcourt – for good business daily to cover more than operation costs.
- Daily “coming ins and going outs” – for journey mercies and spiritual protection from harm and evil.
