Update from Danny Bravo in Malawi and Mozambique---Hippos too!

Hi again prayer partners. Here's an update on the last email/prayer request I sent - a little shorter this time.   We've finished the current outreach into Mozambique mostly to visit the new churches, back in Malawi now preparing for the next one in 9 days including the US team.   COMPLETION OF CHURCH VISITING OUTREACH By the end of the trip, there were 25 new churches started as a result of Wheresoever (I knew of 24 when I wrote the last email), accounting for more than 500 new Christians. Many of you may remember the village chief who was drunken & violent, and after his baptism started being sick each time he tried to take a drink, leading to a total transformation of his life.  Turns out he has been going around sharing his experience of Jesus with many villages on the bike we gave him - he started this last church during one of his trips, over half an hour driving from his village so who knows how long on his bike, and he goes to worship with them all the

Mozambique-Malawi: Crocodiles, Hyenas, Baptisms--Eternal Joy Released

Mozambique and Malawi: Coming to Jesus by Danny Bravo This trip into Mozambique was intended to visit all the new churches that have started as a result of Wheresoever's visits. In addition to the initial 4 churches started more than a year ago, there were an additional 7 for a total of 11. But it has turned out to be very difficult to visit all the churches because they seem to be sprouting up everywhere starting around last October - there are now 24 churches including the original 4, in 4 different denominations (Forwa rd in Faith, Gennesaret, Agape Life Church, Assemblies of God, World Missions). We are having a very busy but extremely exciting time, and there are new people letting Jesus into their hearts all the time. All the churches do have a leader, either a pastor, an evangelist, or an elder - I was encouraged that when having the Wheresoever council members list whether each leader is spiritually strong, medium or weak, there was only one weak, with the rest split bet

Pakistan For Jesus--Pray

Staff notes: CMM has appointed Ayub Masih, whom we have known for almost two years as director of CMM's work in Pakistan. Ayub oversees 40 children centers across the quake and war torn nation. He helped distribute humanitarian aid after last year's massive quake killed almost 80,000. We are waiting on the Lord for funds to send CMM Bible College material to Ayub to begin adult Bible training and leadership training. Pray for Pakistan. We claim that nation, by faith, for Jesus. There are many, many souls waiting to hear the Good News. ________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Dr Jorge Parrott and CMM Staff.

As you know very well about Pakistani condition that we have problems for Church hall and this time we are doing Meetings service in a rented building where I live with my family. Dear

Prophetic Evangelism in Action in Guatemala

Guatemala: Prophetic Evangelism SPECIAL FEATURE Missionary Prophetic Evangelism, or If not us then who?, and if not now then when? To be a missionary, you don't need to cross the sea, you just need to see the cross. Arthur Blessit is quoted as saying, "if you are called to preach the gospel, don't stoop down to be a king." Indeed, what can compare to the sublime privilege and unmatched joy of serving the Lord as a minister of the gospel? During a week of seminars on the prophetic to 5 different church groups in Coban, Guatemala, this group of believers from Iglesia Amanecer found itself on break between sessions, browsing at the local mall. Among the group were a middle school teacher and mother of a toddler, a factory worker, a hair stylist, a high school student, a house painter, a real estate agent and an insurance agent. Our host for the week introduced me to three friends in the mall. As I greeted them, I asked the Lord, "what do you have for these folks,

Early Morning Journey To Mexico

Early morning jaunt to Mexico Molly on the MP3 Rain and clouds dreary airport day Joy wells up inside True love laughing at this world Inside bubbles up like ecstasy How He loves me so God said it, that’s it! What I did, He paid for Mystery of the ages A grace we barely see How else could it be! What’s His name? This son of man, We will never be the same Indeed, we can’t look back now! Going on now Things of Him are mine Inheritance, joint heirs We ain’t getting’ it, we got it! By Jorge Parrott

Precious One, You are being called to intercede this day. Floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, bird flu, perils abound. Yet, the Sons and Daughters of God, must not fret or fear. Be bold, arise, shine, for the hour is at hand to enter into His presence, with joy, thanksgiving, boldness, peace, for others are hurting and looking for Hope. Isaiah 62:6-7 I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. NKJV

Intercessors, levels, layers, of trusting...

How is it that we are to guard our hearts? There are many who will offer to surround us in prayer. Jesus would often get away with just a few of His disciples to pray, to eat, to pray, to rest, enjoy some quiet. Where do we find the solace needed in the blurry fray? How do we ask for prayer when good-hearted, well-intending souls apply? Do we share the inner depths of our heart's cry pain? Jesus spoke in parables for the masses, yet to His disciples He unfolded the mysteries. Ho! Do we hear the Spirit quicken saying "there is another for the secrets at hand, withold your tongue for now" and wait for the next instruction, my Lord? Prophetic intercession rests but with a few, (parables and riddles require time in His presence for clarity), deeper things congest the believer, and may even turn that fervent request, by the time it is passed around the church block into a curse against you. Forbid, No, not that! Yet the disciple that knows the Shepherd's voice, will pray

Christ, being a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek, who learned obedience by the things He suffered, is speaking to us. Mature, suffering saints, have to overcome much. Face it, accept it, that you are given trials to mold you into Christ's likeness. Being an overcomer, you must overcome. How you respond will determine your growth rate. Whining and staying in an attitude of immaturity, self-pity, or perpetual crisis hopping, always going from one drama to the next, even becomg addicted to crisis thinking, gives the devil the victory time and again. We must accept that this life is training ground for ruling and reigning. How do we grow and not be in battle? This life is a life of overcoming and persevering through trying times. Each trial is an opportunity to grow in maturity, faith, and all that the Word gives us wisdom in to become victorious overcomers. We need to be fed as warriors to be a warrior. If we are taught to remain like a baby, always giving over our duties t

This is a time for refreshing and resting...

Notify Blogger about objectionable content. What does this mean? BlogThis! blogspotInit(); ChristsMandateForMissions Monday, October 17, 2005 This is a time for refreshing and resting... God is teaching many to really rest in Him these days. Many are in transition, feeling confused, or left out. Many are wondering what it all means to be working and working, not having things go the way we want them to go. God has a better way, always. His peace is what overcomes the enemy. He gives us that peace, if we want it. Paul said in Philippians, that he had learned in whatever state he was in to abound, whether in lack, or in abundance. God's abounding peace overshadows our circumstances, making them really, temporary light afflictions.We are being groomed, prepped, ground down, like a finely honed piece of silver, to be His instrument, His tool for transformation. He is helping us to see the way He sees, if we but rest, quiet the mind, meditate on His characteristics, His purposes.This da
