Celebrating an Explosion
Celebrating an Explosion!
Here is an excerpt from some recent correspondence that I received from our regional prayer team:
"There are times that the results we see far exceed our expectations. That's the case with the Wickland Baptist Church (PRAYERplus Partnership with the Sokoto Fulani of Niger) story in the 2006 International Missions Emphasis materials. This simple story of a small church praying for an Unengaged Unreached People Group is impacting our daily workload. Last year we had (a total of) 26 new PRAYERplus Partnerships. Since returning from Christmas break, we have been contacted by 27 churches who want to establish a partnership! We rejoice in the response and look forward to hearing from these congregations as God opens the hearts of the Unengaged Unreached People Groups of our world. Our office has often prayed for the PRAYERplus Partnership program to increase and today we celebrate this explosion!"
Sarah's note: When I visited with the prayer office last week, a worker said that six different churches had called the Prayer Office that day wanting more information about PRAYERplus Partnerships. This month (February), our region has gained three new PRAYERplus partnerships: one church adopted the SONGHAI of Nigeria, and two other churches chose the Tukulor of The Gambia. We now have several PRAYERplus partnerships of this type in which the actual partnership is with a population segment of a people group in a country other than the one/s where we have IMB personnel. Other churches are involved in PRAYERplus partnerships with people groups that are not engaged in any location. If you have any questions about PRAYERplus partnerships, please contact me."
My own involvement in this whole deal is simply obedience to a call that God put on my life. When I arrived in Niger I had no idea that I would get to encourage churches all around the United States. I am very awed seeing all that God is doing around the world!
