We have one week of home assignment remaining. My main observation is the fact that a year is not a very long time.
As we return, the foreboding words of Galadriel in "The Fellowship of the Ring" sound truth to me:
"Your Quest stands upon the edge of the knife. Stray but a little and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while all the Company is true."
The procurement of a church in Mongolia that will prevail in the darkest and most difficult of times; a church that is able to support herself, theologize herself, train her own leaders, evangelize her own people and send her own missionaries. There is no smaller goal. It's not possible through human means alone. We need Sovereign help, grace and power.
This is why our final words from home assignment are extremely practical. Pray. Please pray. Our family is not going to make it ... and the Quest will fail if we are not praying together.
It's from this conviction that the idea of
pray:Mongolia is birthed.
The vision is simple: we are trusting God to raise up a minimum of fifty groups of two or more who will commit to praying for Mongolia for one hour per month. Every month on around the 15th (beginning in July 2011) we will send to these groups fresh media (video, audio podcast) from the field with the most current prayer needs. In this way, we can partner together for the good of the Mongolian people and the Glory of Jesus.
Would you consider it? Will you join us in this life or death Quest? I'd love it if you would.
Contact us and let us know how many are in your group and when and where you'll pray every month. We'll add you to the resource distribution list. It will be great to work together.
Your partnership and prayers are appreciated. It was great to connect with so many of you over the past year.
“The power of prayer has never been tried to its full capacity in any church. If we want to see mighty wonders of divine grace and power wrought in the place of weakness, failure and disappointment, let the whole Church answer God’s standing challenged; “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knows not.”
