Pray For Eman

Hi Egroupmates!
Before I get swamped by the urgent and deadly (deadlines, in other words), I would like to ask your prayers for our wonderful friend, Eman, who is trusting God to send him to an important upg conference in LA before the year ends. Due to security concerns (sanay naman kayo di ba?), I can't tell you more. But I can tell you that he needs $2800 asap and has $500 pledged so far.

For me, he is the best person to represent NYMM in that conference. He is not only a mobilizer but also a practitioner now! The exposure and the experience will further stretch his faith and enrich his experience in carrying out his part of the Great Commission. He wrote a loooong email about the witness opportunities he's had and he is where the action is (grabe, todo nato!)!

Please add him to your daily prayer list. God bless you really good!

Mobilizingly yours,

Joy

Let's Pray for Pakistani Believers

I received this email from a missionaray in Pakistan and I would like to share this to people who are reading this blog.

Greetings in His most precious name. We have one very BAD news for all of us. May be you heard or not about what is happening with the Christians here in Gojara near Lahore. Muslims burned more than 200 Christian’s homes and couple of churches as well. There are more than 10 Christians dead so for in that incident and their families are not taking their dead bodies back until Government does not take action against the people who done this. One of the Muslim’s
organization attacked on Christian Locality and burn their homes and churches and done misbehave with the young girls and other women. The police got failed to control those people to stop them, doing this persecution then Army was called to control these people.

We just finished our Sunday service in which we prayed for the people are persecuted and still under huge danger. We are now going to visit that place which is not far from our place, this is about 35 to 45 minutes drive from our place. Please keep praying for the persecuted people and their families and also for those families who lose their family members in the persecution. I will write you again about what is happening now.

May God bless you richly,
Yours in Him,
Ps. M. P.

10You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 3:10-15

Pray that the believers will be rescued by the Lord from all their persecutions as they continue in what they have learned and become convinced of in Christ Jesus. Pray that they entrust themselves to their faithful Creator who is working all things out for His glory and for their good in the end. Pray that His peace that passes all understanding may keep their hearts and minds quiet and at rest in Christ Jesus, as they fully cast all their cares upon Him, knowing that He cares for them.

8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10

Pray that the life of Jesus may be revealed in their bodies, as they entrust themselves to Him, knowing that He is the righteous Judge of all the earth. Pray that they overcome evil with good, praying for their enemies and those that persecute them.

9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. 10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:9-12

Pray that the believers will truly be peacemakers, that their lives will radiate the presence of the Prince of Peace as they truly find His ability to rejoice and be glad knowing their reward in heaven in great. Pray that they experience the manifest Presence of Jesus in their midst as they wait on Him and trust Him to guide them in all they say and do. Pray He is their shelter and strong tower, a very present help in trouble.

Urgent Prayer Request

Dear Egroupmates & friends:

This week is the "last 2-minutes" for our two NYMM representatives, Art de Guzman from Manila and Candy Galagnara from Cagayand de Oro, to the Seoul consultation next week. The program coordinator is waiting for their confirmed flight schedules and has also requested a session outline about the NYMM for their souvenir program. They already received the Powerpoint presentation and a short writeup about the movement. All systems are go for the international gathering of youth missions leaders. As of this writing, 68 leaders from 20 countries are expected to attend.

K Art will claim his visa this Thursday and will buy his plane ticket as soon as sufficient funds come in. Candy, on the other hand, just arrived in Manila yesterday to apply for her visa in the Korean embassy this morning. One of her requirements has to be corrected and she does not have much time left for the processing of her visa (5-6 days). She is also waiting on the Lord for enough money to buy her plane ticket.

I guess these last-minute hitches are typical of any missions activity or endeavor. But it is surely keeping me on the edge of my seat! I would like to share the suspense with you and beseech your arrow prayers for the two to make it to Korea by Monday (Aug 4)!

Nagpupumigil sa pagpraning,
Joy
