Greetings!
Please join us in praying for our South Africa Ministry Tour: July 30 - August 23, 2011...
- For my God-sent, phenomenal, South African hosts, Sančl and Cassie le Roux, including protection of their family unit and that their boys will understand and accept their mom, Sančl, being away from home so much in August
- That this Speaking Tour will launch South African coaching venues to function as their own entities, which will allow LPCCI in-country leaders to help shepherd their growth and impact
- For the Holy Spirit to prepare the hearts of our audience members in the wide variety of venues at churches/retreats/supper clubs/offices, along with our television viewers, radio listeners, and in-print readers. That lives will be forever-changed!
- That we will enjoy countless "God Appointments" along the way
- For a deep-seeded humility and constant protection against deception
- For an anointing of our words, spoken in truth and wisdom-and for a tangible sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's guidance
- That my dad is well taken care of and remains strong while I'm overseas, and that he will stop worrying about me
- For our strength, calmness, flexibility, and courage
- For a smooth running of the behind-the-scenes operations
- For safe travel to/from South Africa, along with flights and ground transportation during our tour
- For the precious house-mothers and the orphans under their care in the missionary town of Bulembu
- For our final preparations to go smoothly, so urgent matters (in other areas of our lives) are not left undone for 3+ weeks
We invite you to join us in praying these specific Scriptures:
Ephesians 3:14-20 NLT
When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
John 15:16 NLT
You didn't choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.
Colossians 3:11-17 NLT
In this new life, it doesn't matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us. Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
