Petitions for the Poor!

Hi! We love and appreciate you all very much! Thank you for your prayers and support of us and the Reign of Grace Ministries (AIM)! We are all well here in MS. Jake is doing great at the Ballet Magnificat summer intensive. And, God continues to watch over us as we take this next step in the journey to Japan and Asia. Thank you standing with us.

JAPAN UPDATE

Just this morning, a moderate earthquake (5.5) hit the Tokyo area. Although there was no damage or danger of tsunami, I am reminded of the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that shook the northeastern part of Japan in March. Not only did it cripple a nuclear power plant, but it also created much damage of property with nearly 23,000 people dead or missing. Let's continue to pray and remember the relief efforts being undertaken at this time. 

Here is an update and post from facebook by Jeremy and Kumiko Jenkins serving with the church there:

We went to another kindergarten in Kesennuma on Monday. It was a kindergarten run by a baptist church. We talked about how much God loves them and how God is so much bigger than all the shakings and scary things they have faced. The kids really listened and received well, and we had a great time singing and dancing with them too! Afterwards, we went to the port area and worshipped and prayed for the city. A bus full of elderly people stopped as we sang worship to God.

Continue to pray for J & K and the church in Sendai. And, remember to pray for us as we seek to follow God in what He has put on our hearts to accomplish in taking this next step to MS. PTL!!

PETITIONS FOR THE POOR

In Isaiah 41: 17, it says "The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them." Here we read how God would again meet them, the afflicted captives in Babylon, and provide for all their need. In a similar way, these words may apply to all His people. 

Indeed, in the journey God has you on, you may feel weary, faint, and thirsty at times. Yet, God promises to come and refresh and meet with you. He opens fountains and plants trees in the desert so that His people may make the whole journey through and complete the trip. He provides for what it is you really need. 

This week, let`s pray that God will not only meet with and refresh the poor and needy of Asia, but let`s pray that He will meet with and refresh each of us as we journey on in Him. Blessings to you!

Arise, Arise

Hi! Thank you for standing with Michelle and I and Reign of Grace (AIM)! This week has proven to be another exciting one here in MS. God has been revealing His Word to us on how to walk in wisdom, understand how life and death are in the power of the tongue, and how to be patient in allowing God to set His boundaries to position us in this next season.

SPECIAL THANKS

I want to say a special "Thank you" to those who are partnering with us financially in this transition to MS on the journey to Asia. With the help of the Holy Spirit, and your partnership, I may have confidence to believe that He who has begun a good work will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Phil. 1:6) Thank you!

PRAY FOR CAMBODIA

This week, God connected us with a gentlemen and his family living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. They are currently working to create a "safe house" for poor and needy kids in a location about four hours from the capital P.P. In Psalms 12: 5 it says, "Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says the Lord. `I will protect them from those who malign them.`" 

God`s heart cries out in love and protection for the oppressed, poor, and needy. He says in this scripture, He will arise. As believers, we become Jesus` hands and feet. The church is the Body of Christ. So, when we arise, as Christ is the head, He raises us up to advance His Kingdom on the earth. 

Pray for this family and the ongoing work they do. And, pray for Michelle and I with Reign of Grace (AIM) that we will be used of God to communicate His heart of love for Japan and Asia in this next step to MS. On this journey back to Asia, may God reveal His heart more and more to all of us!! PTL! 

PRAYER NEEDS

1. Pray for Michelle and I. Pray the provision (housing, etc) in MS to come forth and all the details to quickly come together.
2. Pray for the "Open Door" to be revealed that unlocks the destiny in this place.
3. Pray for the "supply" God has for this ministry to develop further. (Phil. 4:19)
4. Pray for Jake at Ballet Magnificat. It is hard to believe he is about half way through the summer one month program.
5. Pray for Samantha, Marcia, and Abigail.

Praying for Others!

Hi! Michelle and I arrived in Ohio; Michelle`s parents house. All is well! Thank you for your prayers and support of us and the ministry at this time. We came back from MS to attend my brother Chuck`s wedding and to pick up Abigail. As many of you know, she has been staying with the Taylors while we took Jake to Ballet Magnificat and the girls to summer church youth camp in MS. We will be leaving for MS again on Sunday.

These days have proven very exciting for us. I thank God for His faithfulness and your connection with us as we make this transition. PTL! 

SPEAK TO GOD ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER

In the book of Job 42:10, it says "After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before."

This past week proved very full for us. From checking out a school for the kids to searching for housing and meeting up with many wonderful people, we found ourselves on the go. Yet, in the midst of this kind of intensity, God lead us, on several occasions, to pray for someone else. When we obeyed God`s leading and prayed, it allowed God opportunity to supernaturally work in the lives of others. 

In these uncertain, busy, challenging days we live in, I want to encourage you to be sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit and get involved in the lives of others. Do you remember Joseph? While in prison, he interpreted dreams for others. And when he did, God released him from prison to the palace. In the verse above, Job, when in the midst of the worst crisis he had ever faced, prayed for his friends, God reversed the curse and led him out of his situation. 

In the midst of our daily routines, may God give us eyes to see in a new way and release the Glory of God into the lives of others. PTL!

PTL for the gift of a CAR to our ministry!!!  It is the cutest car ever!!!  1997 VW Convertible!!!  It was a gift to us from a very sweet couple in MS who have a heart for orphans and missions!!!  We are delighted....Michelle has claimed it as hers!!!  She says she looks good in it and loves the standard drive!!! :)
