To
refresh and replenish the land, the
Taidam who cultivate and farm using the "swidden"
method on mountain slopes, abandon those fields
after three years allowing the land to lie
fallow for a period of years. Around this time
of year, the fall weather is settling in and we
think of harvest days.
- Pray that
the Holy Spirit would kindle a deep love in
hearts of faithful men and women for the
Taidam, as the need for laborers is great in
the harvest fields.
"To pray effectually, to pray till hell
feels the stroke, to pray till the iron
gates of difficulty are opened, till the
mountains of obstacles are removed, till the
mists are exhaled and the clouds lifted, is
hard work; but it is God's work and man's
best labor." E.M. BOUNDS
How many
times have you come into a
city or an
area and find there are “NO” Christians??
No worship going up to exalt the King of
Creation!! You might see this in areas
where the population is only a few thousand,
but what if it is 600,000 people! This is
the case in one province of the North. The
Black Tai people have not one person who
calls on the name of Jesus.
- We pray
that God would have mercy on these
people and draw some to Himself in
whatever miraculous or wonderful way He
might choose.
Over the
last few years,
Thai from Thailand have
become more and more interested in the
ministry to their cousins, the Black
Tai. Little interest has been shown
previously, but in His perfect time, hearts
are being touched, mobilization is
happening, and a desire to make a change is
occurring.
- Praise
the Lord and please
pray that God would continue to touch
hearts with His purpose and love for the
lost. Please also pray for a renewed
vision in the church for missions. Many churches see themselves as so
small, insignificant, and incapable of
making much difference to world
evangelism. However in His economy,
they have a great contribution to make. Pray
they would continue to understand what
is possible through Him.
When you believe that nothing
significant can happen through you,
you have said more about your belief
in God than you have
said about yourself. You have said
that God is not
capable of doing anything
significant through you. The truth
is, He is able to do anything He pleases
with one ordinary person fully
consecrated to Him.
