GFI Prayer Memo June 13, 2008

Dear Missions and Prayer Partners:

 

Charles Ambaca has sent us a precious letter, of the work in Africa. He thanks Dr. Solomon for his prayer in regard to the ministry program he had at Kenyata University. He had an overwhelming service with many confessing that they were richly blessed. They had a spill over in the hall that seats over 1500 people. In attendance were students, lecturers (who included the Chaplain). Psychology students, who live on campus, were thrilled at the awesome truths of the Exchanged Life Message. He spent quality time counseling with many, with testimonies of radical transformation by the Lord. They have now put him on their mailing list for more invitations in the near future.

 

Charles is still in the process of applying for his visa to South Africa. He is trusting that the opportunity will give him time to plan how he and his team can reach out to other Countries in Africa.

 

 

P.P. Thomas, who works with Grace Concealing in India, writes that they are planning to have a 5-day Training Program starting on June 22.

 

He reports that his brother is improving. Yesterday, when he visited him, he was using a walker with assistance of helpers.

 

P.P. says the he, himself, is improving very slowly, not yet able to travel in Public Transport Systems.

 

On the 14th, there is a program for the old students and teachers of St John's College Agra. This is the first get together they are having for people from Kerala. They will meet in a hall at Kumbanad, 3 miles away from his home. About 100 people are expected to participate. A friend has offered transportation for him.

 

Monsoon rains have slowly started...

 

An email has come into Grace Fellowship, from a woman asking for prayer support for herself, and her husband. They are in the midst of a serious and grievous family problem.

 

Hughlene Folds sent us this email several days ago, asking prayer for a dear friend, named Dawn, who is scheduled for neck surgery in a month. She is in awful pain, thinking it is due to her up coming surgery, to relieve her pain. Her neck was swollen, the muscles were huge. Her husband took her to St. Joseph hospital were an MRI was done, finding that she has an abscess in her neck, which must be cared for before she can have neck surgery...She needs much prayer that will help her to find the Lord's loving care.

 

John Shepherd reports the Lords blessing of the work among the Massai, in Africa. Praise the Lord.

 

He reports that they are still working to get their Society recognition, meeting with lawyers and trying to schedule an interview with the Registrar of Societies, which seems to be the last hurdle, for John Rampei. Pray about this with us, it is really important that this comes about as soon as possible.

 

This area needs rain; the corn is up about waist high and the wheat about a foot. If rain does not come soon they will lose the whole crop. This will mean hunger and possible starvation for thousands. The dry season is soon upon the land and it appears that it may be coming early, which is not a good thing.

 

We have more teams preparing to leave for Kenya as the Clovis, NM team has arrived home. Jack Wiinslow will be in Kenya until the first week in July and then Blaine and Deloris Anderson will be going to work with the team from Sevier Hgts, the later part of July. Blaine comes home the first part of August and then John will go, and the "Back Packing Team" will come to work with John in the bush, camping out from Sept. 8-18th.

 

This will be the first time they have tried camping out, for this long of a period, and it seems to be the only way that they can get into some areas; they will be so far from their house that they would have to spend all their time traveling.  Pray about this trip for them as they experiment to see if this is a workable solution to reaching some of the remotest areas of Maasai land.

 

As costs are escalating, fuel is about $6.00 per gal, and their vehicle gets about 18mpg, they are still pressing on into new areas of Maasaini to reach as many for Christ as possible. It is believed their time is short before the Lord returns and this people group is so reachable, they must keep pressing on in Jesus' name.
