Let's Travel Together

Last Sunday night was wonderful!  The Lord revealed Himself through many people and in various ways, my spirit was encouraged.  One of the highlights was having six Grace Brethren Missionaries with us from all over the world.  These men gave a short report on the region of the world they are from.  The director of Grace Brethren International Missions (GBIM), Dave Guiles, then encouraged us to move forward in our support and interaction with a foreign land by praying together for 60 days, asking God to show us where He would like us to focus some efforts.  We may choose to have all of our organic church work together in one locale or God may direct each organic church to do something different.  The key is to pray together asking God to reveal where we should focus.
 
GBIM has developed a tool to help guide us in our prayers (see a short promo video below).  I have ordered some Global Prayer Walk Booklets and once they arrive, we will make sure you get them on Sunday nights or through your organic churches.  We would like for each family to pray together daily for different portions of our world through this guide, being aware of the promptings of the Holy Spirit.  There is a children's section for each day so that families with smaller children can participate in the process as well.  
 
On January 1st, we'll have an International Day and share lot's of food, talk about how the Lord is leading us and decide how to proceed from there on touching the world together.  I have already heard from many of you about wanting to begin this experiment.  Be looking for the Global Prayer Walk Guide soon!  Let's travel together!
