Dear Prayer Warriors,
I was reading this passage in the airport today and it struck me that the Lord was giving it to me specifically for this coming trip.
“Look among the nations and watch;
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe,
though it were told you.”
Habakkuk 1:5
The contrast between dark skin and bright smiles is the most beautiful site to behold in Africa. This continent is both huge and ripe for the gospel. I invite you will join with me as we reach out with the love and hope that is found in the name of Jesus Christ. Modern technology enables us to partner in prayer as we head into the villages, prisons, schools and cities of Malawi. In addition to following updates on the Blog, Facebook and Twitter most of all I need your prayers. AIDS has left gaping hole in the culture here. The devil is wanting to claim the next generation for his bidding. There is a Muslim invasion in Africa like no other place in the world. Time is short. We are excited to be here and ask you to pray for the Spirit of Christ to be released in this land in a life changing way.
I once heard someone say that the Mission of the Church is Missions. I believe that’s true and covet your prayer for these next several days. As the great missionary David Livingston said, “without Christ, not one step. With Him, anywhere.”
Livingston was also famous for saying this (may it challenge you as it has me) “If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road, I don’t want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all.” Let’s in prayer may we be the one’s who launch out in bridging the Gap with the Gospel both at home and to the uttermost parts of the world.
Zikomo and God bless,
Pastor Bob
