Beloved, thanks so much for praying with us...
"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory..." (2 Corinthians 4:17)
Walking by faith
Forget the sidelines...God answers "put me in Coach" prayers! He will finish what He has started. (See Philippians 1:6 and 1 Thessalonians 5:24)
The 70-day training regimen He called me to a few months ago (video) doubled,
both in duration and daily mileage, some days approaching 20 miles...nowhere near my personal best of 42 miles in one day--along a scorching-hot stretch of Route 66 on our first cross-country prayerwalk--but still decent for a 52 year-old dude, especially one with "issues." I'm feeling strong. . . . Bring it!
A Practice Prayerwalk
Tomorrow, Deanna and I hit the ground walking...headed to Ohio for a week-long prayerwalk with pastors and leaders. This will be the first time we will have ever led a higher-mileage prayerwalk for leaders only. I'm calling it a "Practice Prayerwalk" for two reasons:
- Spiritually... As leaders, God commands us to practice what we preach. Unworthy as we are, He empowers us to "walk out" our witness, just as the Apostle Paul writes: "Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice...." (Philippians 4:9, emphasis added)
- Pragmatically... We've never engaged in a leaders-only venture at this level of physicality, so it's prudent to have a practice run. As a result, we'll be able to tweak our roll-out plans for the balance of 70 regions accordingly...with the road-tested counsel of like-minded leaders!
Please pray. Our agreement moves heaven and earth. (Matthew 18:19-20)
This prayerwalk is pivotal for finalizing our blueprints. Because of God and Him alone, breakthrough is continuing on the California Central Coast. We believe God would fan those flames across the country, even in the unworthy wake of our footsteps. We are bombarding heaven for miraculous healing, unbridled favor, unsearchable wisdom and supernatural abundance for the steps ahead.
Pray especially for the pastors in the Mid-Ohio Valley. Thanks for the support. You are greatly loved.
For His harvest, Tom & Deanna
P.S. Your tax-deductible gift is always appreciated!
