SGWM Newsblog &#187; Prayer Requests

Prayer Requests: With my trip rapidly approaching (September 26th – November 20th), I am doing some of the final calculations for my financial needs for my trip and am still $500 short of my goal. I am also cutting it very close with my personal finances at home and fear I may not be able to pay some of my bills before I leave. I know and trust that God will provide me with everything I need – He has never ceased to amaze me with His provision for my life and trips, in the past. Please pray that He will continue to provide the funds needed and that I will continue to trust in Him no matter what.

I’m excited for this next trip and look forward to all that is planned for me out there. I know that this is a essential step toward my future as a full time missionary in Nepal. I will be staying with a fellow missionary at a mission hostel while I am there and am excited to get to know her better as well as the others who are staying at the hostel.

Please also pray for the fiance visa paperwork to continue to go smooth. We turned in the paperwork two months ago and it is still in the review process. The average processing time for the California office is about 5 months…so we are ALMOST there!! Pankaj will most likely have his interview with the American Embassy while I am in Nepal.

Thank you for your prayers!

God Bless,

Please pray that our effort be fruitful and the word of God may go to many new areas with people and change their lives.

New Creation Ministry (A Christian Book Ministry) has planned to go to serve among flood victims, they are taking food, clothes and other items. We are sending 100 Urdu Bibles there. It will be one day trip, New Creation will arrange for the vehicle for transporting goods and team. The team members will contribute for the transportation. One member from our team will go with them. Please pray for this team.

Calvary Chapel Pakistan missions is blessed to be invited to a village named Deedo-wali to teach and distribute Bibles. This whole village was Jehovah’s witness, but now all of them have changed. A pastor working there came to our office yesterday and told us that they have used many of the small pamphlets we printed about Jehovah’s witness and Mormonism. The Pastor was very much thankful and he invited me to teach at his Church. We are going there on Sept. 29. Please pray for us. There are 42 Christian families who need Urdu Bibles.

I have received an invitation to teach in the central Jail of Gujranwala, Glory to God. I am going to teach there on Oct. 6th. Please pray for me to be blessed with wisdom when I go and teach those prisoners.

We are planning Sunday School Programs in 6 villages. Joseph is having meetings and is collecting information. Christmas is the ONLY Celebration that Christian children have, please pray that these programed be joyful, and very helpful for children to know and grown in the Lord Jesus Christ. please pray for all the arrangements and our need for Children Bibles.

We are going to start a new Bible course along with our regular Bible Studies. Please pray for me as I am translating the studies and pray that this Bible (study) course be very helpful for the Bible Students.

Here is what is burning in out hearts for prayer:

1) Please pray for our Saturday fellowships, that the Lord would bless them and add to them. We would like even more people to come, and need wisdom on how to expand that ministry.
2) Pray for me (Marc) that I would have a fresh experience with God, and that I would be spiritually equipped for the ministry ahead. I am very eager to put that spiritual dryness behind me.
3) Pray for the family that is coming to help us. They will be moving in a few weeks and still need a solution for their business. Either somebody must take it over or they will have to close it down with a big loss.
4) Pray for our personal lives, that we would manage our time and affairs wisely and to God’s glory, that we may be more effective with the vision God has given us. “Plain” life has a tendency to keep you busy enough, and we need enough time and energy for the ministry.

Thanks for all your prayers and support!

Emergency Prayer Request from Nadeem Massey!

admin — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 18:01:05 +0000

Please pray that Terry Jones stops from doing what he intends, Pakistani channels are instigating people and this can be very very dangerous for Christians of Pakistan and other countries. All Christians are terrified because of Terry Jones intentions because the Christians in the countries like Pakistan will have to pay the price, with their blood, and lives.

Love,

Colorado, USA

The Padilla Family

Pray for our Transition.

We have moved into our new home in Aurora,Colorado. We are 5 minute from Lynns School and 10 minutes or less from Calvary Chapel Aurora. It is a great to be in the community we live and worship in. On the other hand it has been a very difficult. The day we were moving Lynn fell down the basement stairs at her parents house and sprained her ankle. She is in a walking cast for the next couple of weeks or so. Also just moving in and saying “this is permanent” is difficult for all of us. Maggie and Ezra are struggling because they want to stay at Grandma and Grandpas forever in their words. They miss their home in Morocco, their brothers and their dog. For Lynn and I it is difficult because we never thought that we would be back in the States again. We had committed to living out our lives in Morocco. Our reasoning was that e were going to be taking in children and if we left after they had grown up and moved on, we were still the only family the children would have. To leave them with no family would have been worse. Unfortunately for all of us at VOH this is not going to happen. We do have a court case that has just been moved again to another date because of Ramadan. So we will find out as all the documents have been submitted and now are just waiting. Still a long shot but we are trusting in the LORD. We have heard from some staff in Morocco that Samir is doing well, we received a picture and he is still drooling when he eats and Mouhcine is trying to talk.

Pray for us as we deal with all of hearts in this permanent move. We are thankful to GOD for this new home. We just miss our children and the work we were doing and the things that we were trying to accomplish.

Pray for the Moroccan staff at VOH as it is Ramadan and they are hungry and the children are eating as they are to young to participate in Ramadan. Pray for patience.

Pray for Children as they too are angry about the deportations and miss their parents and families.

Pray that our court case would eventually take place. Pray for the leadership and lawyers that all would go well in their research and defense of the law.

Praise: We also want to thank GOD for the BODY here at CC Aurora. They have come along side us and we have a fully stocked house. Beds, Blankets, Kitchen is loaded, Washer and Dryer, clothes…. The men’s ministry making pickups and unloading and moving furniture. A family here lent us their garage to store things. It has been so overwhelming yet a great blessing. Also Lynn’s family for all the help in Moving and all the clothes and toys they provided for us when we arrived. Lynn’s parents have been awesome also. They changed there lives for us over the last few months to support us.

Also to all of you that have been praying, emailing encouragement, financial support us and to those who sent letters and clothing to my family as we transitioned home. And to the staff at CC Aurora for letting us call when ever and calling us to see how we are doing and praying for us.

Thank you. Hebrews 11:13-16

The McCartney’s

California, USA- Raising support for Greece

- For provision and guidance, Kristin needs surgery to remove her gallbladder and we are going to have to pay 20% which is probably going to end up being around $3,500 with all of the doctors visits and medication, plus we need $283 more a month to cover our “currently in the US” plan. We know that God can provide for this and He knew she would need this surgery.

- We are sharing at several churches in the next few weeks, please pray for God’s guidance and that He would help us build people bridges and meet those who will support our family and ministry.

- Provision for plane tickets. Because of different circumstances, we feel that the Lord is telling us to leave for Hungary by October or at the very latest, November, so we are going to need to purchase 4 plane tickets soon. From Hungary we have been invited to make several trips to Greece to meet the nationals there that are running an organization looking for missionaries to minister to their country.

Thanks for all of your prayers, we really feel that Lord is going to do something amazing in Greece and the journey in getting there has been amazing because of all of your support and prayers for our family. Thank you for co-laboring with us!

CALVARY CHAPEL PEDREGALES / TIJUANA

Deanna Jevas

Please lift up in prayer:

Lorena, a sister from our church in Pedregales, who lost her husband on Aug. 22^nd. He, along with his friend, was shot to death outside of his home by a former friend. Both men were not serving the Lord. The neighborhood was really shook up, and some have rededicated their lives to the Lord, so He is bringing beauty out of ashes. I pray for Lorena’s adult children, Alfredo, Arturo, Lola, and Mayra and their families to also come back to Jesus through this tragedy.

For Pastor Chris and his wife Rosalba’s health. They have both been ill these past two weeks with a stomach virus that has hit them hard! Also, Pastor Chris took a hard fall ice skating while on vacation and injured his back.

For the Purity conference this coming Sat. (Sept. 4^th), for many young ladies to come and that they would have a special encounter with Jesus. Also for an anointing on the speakers.

For our annual women’s conference on Sept. 11^th and for me as I will be speaking on Miriam the Prophetess. Pray that the Lord will use me for His glory, anoint all of the speakers, and that the Holy Spirit will be in that place!

For the New Believer classes that are starting this next week. Anointing on the teachers, and spiritual growth for all.

For my financial situation in these hard economic times. My salary will be cut 1/3 as I will not be home schooling the pastor’s daughters this year.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS—THEY ARE CHERISHED!!!

Praises:

-Praise God that at least the voting process on Aug 4th was peaceful for Kenya. Kenya’s new Constitution has passed which unfortunately restricts the freedom to propagate one’s faith openly and is now beginning to hand over more rights to the Muslims.

- A few days before we boarded the plane for the States, our team was able to shift/move to a safer community where we were able to find 3 homes near to one another. Thank you for your prayers concerning our housing situation.

Prayer requests:

*Please pray that we would continue to be faithful to take advantage of the window of opportunity that still remains open at this time to disciple and raise up nationals to reach their own.

*Please pray that the construction on the home would be properly completed before we return as the water tanks, and electricity meters are still being installed.

*Please pray for wisdom for Nasiema in balancing her time trying to prepare and home school while on furlough in the States without an established routine. Please pray that she would be yielded in her spirit to minister however the Lord sees fit in any given moment, joyfully as unto the Lord.

*Please pray for my time of preparation to minister to these missionaries-in-training, and for the preparation of their hearts to receive what the Lord has for them during this time. Once I begin teaching the EMT program, I will be in Murrieta while my family will remain behind in Placentia.

*Please pray for the boy’s hearts to find comfort and joy in the Lord during the transition away from daddy for the 8 week duration, and for obedient hearts while mama will be “alone” discipling the boys while I will be away (I will only be able to meet with my family on some weekends during this time).

Although we are in the States, I will continue to run the Bible College.

*Please pray for diligence and efficiency with my time as I work on administration so the school can continue

*Please pray for continued direction/leading in my preparation for the Extreme Missions Training Program starting in mid September.

*Between study time and preparing administration, please pray for the preparation of my own heart as I teach in various speaking engagements

*Most importantly, I ask for prayer in the midst of business, to be faithful to my family.

Kenya, Africa

The Ramirez Family

Our Family:
1. We kindly ask that you will pray for the safety of our team as we live in a difficult part of town, and that Lord willing, God would provide for safer housing.
2. Please pray for God’s hand of protection to be upon His people especially before and after August 4th 2010 (voting day) and that the new proposed constitution would be rejected.

Our Ministry:

1. Praises: Calvary Chapel Nairobi’s Women’sConference…Nasiema’s teaching at the conference. Thank you for praying for her time of preparation in the midst of a busy home life.

2. Pre-marital Counseling- Nasiema and I have recently been asked to be the “Best Couple”(equivalent to “spiritual parents”) for another couple to be married in November and have begun counseling. I will be officiating the wedding of another couple we have been counseling in December as well…Please pray for wisdom in our counsel, and for the proper esteem of God and His Word in these couples’ lives.

3. Mombasa Church Plant- Please pray that God will meet the needs for Benedictor and his family as he steps out in faith August 2010 and that God will continue to prepare the hearts and logistics of his team members that desire to co-labor with him. Pray for health and protection physically and spiritually over his family (his wife Millicent is in her 2nd trimester with their 2nd child). Please continue to pray for wisdom as I am taking on the additional role as “Missions Pastor”, encouraging and discipling our brothers, being the liaison between CCN and those starting church plants in Africa out of CCN.

4.Congo Church Plant-Please continue to pray for Ibrahim, his wife Masoka and their 9 children that recently joined him in the Congo, for a place to re-settle, for God’s divine intervention in leading him in his vision for a church plant, for the logistics and support needed, against corruption, for health and protection physically and spiritually over his family. Please continue to pray for adequate translations of the Bible in Kiswahili that many at the conference last month were requesting to replace the many JW translations.

5. Speaking/sharing engagements in the U.S.A- I will be available during the Months of August through mid November to guest speak in churches during our furlough to share what God is doing through our family here in Kenya.

6. Extreme Missions Training Program- Our King has opened a door for me to be a part of Far Reaching Ministries EMT Program. I will be able to disciple individuals who desire to serve as missionaries. This will entail two months in the States teaching the practicals and theory of missions along with literal application as they return with me to Kenya for 6 months on the mission field. Please pray for my time of preparation to minister to these missionaries-in-training, and for the preparation of their hearts to receive what the Lord has for them during this time.

Thank you again for co-laboring with us for the gospel’s sake.

By His grace, for His glory,

Prayer requests:
1. Wisdom and guidence with Josiah. Some times its hard to figure out why he is fussy. Pray for confidence to know what to do for him! Pray that he would continue to grow healthy and strong. Pray too that he would come to know Jesus at an early age.

2. Pray for us as we try to help josiah with seperation anxiety. We went to see a movie last saturday (so I was gone for 3 hours) and he cried so much and for so long that he threw up. Pray that we can leave him again and that he would do well for a baby sitter.

3. Clear communication and understanding in our marriage. That Chris and I would continue to put Christ at the center and love one another with Christ’s unrelenting love.

4. Wisdom on how to best balance working, raising support and raising a family. Pray that we would not neglect any of those for the others.

5. Pray for us that God would lead us to those He wants to be part of our ministry team. We have been raising support for the past two months and it’s going very slow. We are currently at 34%. Pray that we would trust the LORD for His timing and that we would continue to be encouranged and trust Him!

6. Pray for the family of Violet Willard (one of my supporters) that went home to be with Jesus this past week. Pray for strength, comfort and healing as they grieve.

7. Pray for Me (Cindy) as I learns balance in taking care of Josiah and working from home. Pray that I would get all I need done each day and am not stressed out. Pray too for the migraine headaches I has been getting this past week. I have had 3 of them.
