Call in the Reinforcements

I'm headed for South Asia today with a team of 5 other men to do frontline evangelism in an area filled with Muslims. Please pray that the LORD would be glorified in our obedience to go and that He would accomplish His purposes both in us and through us. Take this call to prayer seriously . . .

"Until you know that life is war, you cannot know what prayer is for. Prayer is primarily a wartime walkie-talkie for the mission of the church as it advances against the powers of darkness and unbelief . . . (But) we tried to rig it up as an intercom in our houses and cabins and boats and cars - not to call in fire power for conflict with a mortal enemy, but to ask for more comforts in the den"
- John Piper, Let the Nations Be Glad.

We are calling in the reinforcements with coordinates on where the Enemy has been holding people captive. Pray that the LORD would move in a mighty way and that Christ the King would be exalted in that dark land as the Enemy is pushed back. The Spirit of the Sovreign LORD is upon me because He has annointed me to preach good news to the poor . . . to proclaim freedom for the captives!

And remember . . .

"The Enemy will do anything to divorce prayer and proclamation—to stop the evangelist from praying and the intercessor from evangelizing. Why? Because the two combined are explosive!”
- From Red Moon Rising by Peter Grieg and Dave Roberts, a book about a youth 24-7 prayer
movement that now spans the globe.

While you're praying for us, make sure you're evangelizing those around you. And while we're out there evangelizing, we'll be sure to pray that the LORD is moving in your midst as well. What a glorious plan.
