Dear Prayer Partners,
If you knew the date of Jesus' 2nd coming, would you put it in your daytimer? Would you do anything differently than you are doing now?
I believe we would plan for His coming. We are promised a marriage supper of the Lamb.
Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready. And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!' " And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God." Revelation 19:7-9
We believe the Bride of Christ is being gathered from all the language groups of the earth. When we distribute a Gospel recording, that message with the Holy Spirit's enablement, is the power of God unto salvation. "O Lord, may each of these players cause a church to be formed!" prayed a Nepali evangelist many years ago. We were gathered around several hand wind cassette players being sent out to reach people with the Good News of Jesus Christ in their own languages.
We believe our efforts this month will produce the end goal of people coming to know Jesus as you lift our requests to God in prayer.
Thank you!
