Prayer

In Exodus we are told the story of God's sustaining power.

For hands were lifted up to the throne of the LORD


While Moses held his hands up in prayer to the Lord the Israelites continue to defeat the Amalekites. But as soon as his hands fall and his prayer is broken they begin to lose.

So too do we depend on the sustaining power of the Lord to prepare and run mission.

Each week we will publish prayer points for mission. We would love for you to bring us before the Lord in prayer.

Here are this week's prayer points:

  • For Stephen Mugridge as he begins preparing the infants and primary talks. Particularly pray that he would choose good biblical accounts which develop our overall theme of prayer.
  • For our first meeting on Tuesday 24 April 2007. Please pray that we are able to map out the way forward.
  • For Ed David as he prepares the mission's budget and considers how we can cut our costs from last year.
  • For the Australian rural community, especially the Tambar Springs community as they battle with drought. Please pray that God would send rain.

I'll be praying! Tambar will always have a special place in my heart.

“The evangelization of the world depends first of a revival of prayer. Deeper than the need for workers; deeper far than the need for money; deep down at the bottom of our spiritual lives, is the need for the forgotten secret of prevailing world wide prayer.”- Robert E. Speer (1867-1947)

Looking forward to partnering you in prayer on this year's mission.

That passage is a great encouragement - may I also suggest taking it a little further

"When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset." Exodus 17:12

Teamwork under God's sovereign rule.

May God bless the 2007 Tambar Team
