IT'S A NEW SEASON!
The dawning of a new year nearly always brings a mindset of
change. No matter what one is considering, whether it be weight,
relationships, job, relocation, etc., it always involves changing
something about 'life.' Looking back over2011, we can see where
our family experienced a whole lot of change! And, from where
we stand, it has all been good. God has been faithful. Our team
connection has been strong! And, we have been involved in
praying for specific FIT requests in which God has moved
in a miraculous way, astounding multiple doctors and proving
that time and space does not matter to the Master Physician!
2012 and Finland - here's what we've planned so far (just in
a nutshell, mind you, in order to save time and space):
In 2012, we are purposing to pray "Light and Might" into the
spiritual atmosphere of Finland, asking God to illuminate
the spiritual darkness with His Holy light while dispatching
angels to fight - with might, strength, and anointing - in
order to take territory from the evil one."Ye are the light of the
world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men
light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light
so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven."(Matthew 5:14-16, KJV)
Our prayer is that His light, within us, would shine brightly before
the Finns!
30 days of Prayer and Fasting
The Europe/Middle East Region is in the midst of a 30-day period
of prayer and fasting for the Europe/Middle East. If you are interest
-ed in joining us, we welcome you to do so! Sis. Jerolyn Kelley, the
EME Prayer Commission Coordinator, had some great fasting ideas:
no sugar, tea/coffee, eating one meal a day, fasting until a certain
time each day, no meat, chocolate, bread, internet, newspaper,
and read nothing but the Bible. There is certainly more than one
way to deny ourselves, and with the right motive, our efforts serve
to draw us closer to Him.
Read It Through!
Our family is planning to read the Bible through at least once this
year. Won't you join us? There are a number of programs available
to assist you in making it an easy task, not to mention it has lasting,
Home Bible Studies
Our goal is to reach out to others on a personal level, share our
knowledge of Jesus, and help others develop a relationship with
God that is built on Truth found in the Word of God. All of us will
be involved in teaching Bible Studies!
Looking ahead
In August, the EME Prayer Commission will bring a small team of
intercessors to Helsinki, Finland, in order to conduct prayer walks
in various areas around the city. We are thrilled that our country
was chosen for such a venture, and ask that you help us prepare the
spiritual atmosphere for a great awakening in the hearts and minds
of men. We will be sharing more about this as the date draws closer.
Thank you for being a part of Finland's Intercessor Team.
We could not possibly do 'what we do' without you!
