Some Radical Prayer Needs

Recently in our reading of Radical by David Platt, the following statement really struck home with me:  "In our quest for the extraordinary, we often overlook the importance of the ordinary, and I'm proposing that a radical lifestyle actually begins with an extraordinary commitment to ordinary practices that have marked Christians who have affected the world throughout history."

I know that many of you have read the book and have been challenged to "take back your faith from the American Dream" and live radically changed in your Christian walk by committing to those ordinary practices, including radically challenged prayer for the world. 

The week of Semana Santa, we will be accompanying a medical mission team from our church to Nearer.  Although David accompanyied them previously, this will be my first time to go with them.  I am listing some prayer concerns that I am asking you to specifically lift up for the next two weeks.  If you will commit to pray for these, please leave a message either here, on facebook, or by email to let us know of your prayer covering.

1.  Remaining fruit in those first believers from the trip in January
2.  Discipleship of these new believers
3.  Fertile ground for others ready to receive Christ as Savior
4.  Medical clinic to meet needs of people of Nearer and open new doors of ministry
5.  Raising up of a missionary to live near/in Nearer to continue the ministry fulltime

I look forward to sharing with you amazing answers to your prayers.  God is at work and we want to be a part of what He is doing and continue the cycle of growth.
