TRANSFORMING YOUR WORLD

Blessings and greetings in the the name of our King Jesus,

Have you ever traveled on an international missions trip? If not, let me encourage you to get a passport and seek the Lord for an opportunity to live out the divine mandate to "go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to every creature." You have spiritual gifts, skills and abilities given by our Lord that could be used to transform lives in other parts of the world and not just your own. Not only can God use you to bring hope to different countries and cultures, but it's amazing what you will learn from the people there. Yes, it's stepping outside of our comfort zone, and yes it requires sacrifice, however, the benefits tremendously outweigh the costs. The rest of the world is not like the United States and there is so much to learn from other people as well as experiencing the joy of ministering to them. Pray, pray hard that God would expand your spiritual horizon and world view. Pray He will help you see the world the way He sees the world. Pray to be used of God near and far and experience for yourself the joy of greater ministry.
Tuesday, June 16 I ask you to pray for the Joseph Alliance team traveling to Liberia, West Africa. We who are traveling go with great expectation of how God is going to move in such a great land with such great people who are recovering from 14 years of civil war. Liberia was founded by African-American slaves in the United States who returned to Africa to live in freedom. "Liberia" comes from the word liberty. Liberians are connected at the soul to African-Americans and deeply appreciate African-Americans who come to minister to them and to hear their story. They appreciate all who come regardless of race, but are especially glad when African-Americans come. The needs are great and many but the land is so ripe for a powerful, miraculous move of God. So, pray that the "team" led by founder and leader of Joseph Alliance, Dr. Laverne Stevens, will be tools in the hands of our awesome God through which His miraculous wonders may be made manifest among the people. Thank you for your prayers and I will give a brief update upon our return. May God bless each of you!
