And please forgive me if I sound like I just downed 12 espressos, but that's what a month of prayerwalking will do to you.
Favor is better than talent
God's favor on this mission is His business and the breakthrough we've been experiencing is for His glory. We dare not draw a straight line between obedience and its resulting fruitfulness, for one plants, another waters, but only God brings the increase. (1 Corinthians 3:6-7)
Seventy-times-seven
My heart has heard God whispering that phrase over this mission for some years now. Indeed, it has fundamentally affected everything we've been doing. But just recently, I've discovered it's even weightier than I first thought. (I'll tell you all about it in the days ahead.)
Rallying pastors and leaders
To date, most of our travels have been built around (paid) invitations, but for this next phase of our assignment, we will be the ones doing most of the inviting (and paying). Thus, our "love offering" support-model will no longer apply. We need your help.
God is calling us to prayerwalk 70 regions across the country to come alongside pastors and leaders...to be a friend to them, inviting them to (literally) walk with us in signed-on agreement with both our National Prayer of Repentance petition and, even more notably, the "stricter judgment" standard of our open-letter, the Apology from the Pulpit.
Lord willing, this will make way for a "Pastors' Prayerwalk" (our third cross-country walk, this time from Mexico-to-Canada), specifically for pastors and leaders. Those of us called to preach repentance to others would do well to re-embrace it ourselves. Imagine an army of leaders prayerwalking in genuine humility. Bring it, Lord!
Would you please water this work?
As always, we deeply appreciate your prayer, and with it, especially now, we're asking for your financial support. And I'm hoping to hear back from you right away, so we can plan our next steps accordingly.
We are believing God for an immediate harvest of tens of thousands of dollars in the weeks ahead through friends like you. Compared to many national missions, our needs are small, but nonetheless necessary to get us to the starting line.
A prayer-filled request
I've prayed for months about how to appeal to you today. Kingdom life is "at hand," and yours are the hands God has sovereignly joined with ours. Money matters can be a breaking point, but in His hands, we believe this will be a "breakthrough" point.
Hopefully, some helpful direction
Last spring, some close friends of ours, upon hearing our 70-region vision, promptly wrote us a check for a dollar-amount equal to a multiple of 70 (regions), i.e., so much per region. In that moment, I sensed God directing me how to specifically ask for your help.
Would you prayerfully consider:
1. A one-time gift in a dollar-amount multiple of 70?
2. Becoming a monthly supporter for $70 per month?
I believe these suggested gift-calculations will resonate with many of you. Nevertheless, please know we deeply appreciate every gift of any amount. Thank you.
 To give a one-time or monthly gift of any amount, please go to our secure donation page. Thank you! We love and appreciate you, Tom & Deanna Postscripts... We will be posting step-by-step mission bullets on our webpage, and you will be able to track our travels. We're also developing a separate blog-page for those interested, so these monthly missives can remain brief. Next time I shoot a video of myself, I'll try to hold my phone a little more level! I'd love to hear from you... tomdemaree@pentecostwalk.org |
