Restoring Pangea: Prayer = Hard Work

Prayer = Hard Work

I think it will always be more difficult to pray than it will be easy - but as it has been said, "nothing worth having is easy!"

Please join me as I prepare to leave London and fly to Singapore to minister on the Doulos for two weeks and then return to London for 24 hours to again leave for the Middle East. While there I will be ministering in a difficult country with much sorrow. These are my prayer requests.

1. To meet with Jesus everyday on my own - to feed from His Word

2. To be a servant, to be challenged with a servant's heart, to serve wholeheartedly

3. I want to have the chance to share the Gospel a lot this summer with unbelievers in the Middle East and to see some come to Jesus right there on the spot.

4. To see the needed funds come in for this summer and for next year's committment

5. Please pray for two men here in London that I have connected with, both from Cyprus and nominally Muslim. I've had the chance throughout the year to share my life and the Gospel with one and recently spent an entire evening with him. That night he gave me the opportunity to lay out the Gospel very clear to him. He doesn't believe that we are born with sin - to him a good life is good enough.

6. Please pray for a Vietnamese girl that I shared the Gospel with through Skype (www.skype.com) in Hanoi

7. There will be a lot of travel for both Geroge and I this summer. Travelling mercies!

8. Pray with me for Iraq and India (India is the country of the day right now on www.operationworld.com).

9. Pray with me for the group of teenagers in my parent's mission that I will be speaking to in August at their yearly Staff conference. I have sensed a leading to go through the book of Ephesians with them. Please pray with me as I prepare and seek to know what God would want to say to their mind, heart, conscience and will.

10. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, the peace that is needed in all hearts globally.

There are always a lot more, so thank you for taking the time and let's believe that in prayer we move mountains, things change and God moves through our prayers. Bless all of you.

...And there was no longer any sea... What is Restoring Pangea?

The World as one still needs to be one in every way - physically ideologically, socially, economically, etc. Pangea Restored is a fully-orbed vision of what the world could be if the borders and barriers that most separate us were removed, literally, and the New World was reborn with Peace reigning. Let His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven..

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,

...and there was no longer any sea...

‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away"...He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Revelation 21

Cause vs. Effect

If I couldn't see I'd be more affective If I was careful I wouldn't be here If I was courageous I would still fear If I had a million dollars I'd have a big house in the Bahamas. If I had a dollar I'd have a small house, somewhere in the Saharas. If I didn't own anything, I'd be able to receive everything If I had everything I'd be missing something If this was a song, I'd write it If it was a poem, it doesn't rhyme If i could live any life it would be my own If I could only tell you one thing, it would be, "Come Home"
