Praying for the Middle East...

We're reaching the last few weeks of our Perspectives class this semester, and it's been quite the ride! Thanks for those of you who continue to join in prayer each week. It's been such a neat investment with you all.

I ran across a prayer tool via CNN that I thought was well worth sharing if you're not totally current (like me) on what's going on across the Middle East and Northern Africa. I'd encourage you, as you're talking to people about their term papers and learning more about global issues to share this resource.

Please keep praying for the remaining classes, encouraging people to join us to visit and see what Perspectives is all about, and pray about being involved in coordinating future classes.

Thanks again for all the effort and time you've spent in prayer!

So far...

We've had some wonderful evenings together with powerful speakers, heartfelt moments and some transformative bible teaching. Praising God for what he's doing to refresh and teach us ALL through Perspectives.

Please continue praying for the Spirit to continue showing up and reaching us right where we are. Please pray for the speakers, the students, and those on the coordinating teams. Pray that as we learn and as hearts are stirred that God would show us individually where He wants us in this great calling to proclaim His glory!

Last night, Mike Dworak showed this video of dancing around the world. Although it's not a Christian perspective, it shows with a fun twist the worship of many cultures... and makes me so excited for worship in heaven with so much variety!

It's Starting!

Perspectives classes start tonight. Please be prayerful today, and over the next 15 weeks:

• for the first speaker tonight (the first impression!)
• for a big turn out of people prepped and hungry for God
• for a good representation of local area churches
• for humility and organization on behalf of the coordinating team
• for God's Name to ultimately be glorified
• Also, please be praying for Berne's start tomorrow night, and Ft. Wayne and Warsaw starting next week

And again, thanks so much for joining in preparation for the class as we've prayed this fall. Please continue to pray through this semester that hearts are stirred for a greater vision for God's kingdom. Keep tuned for updates posted here periodically throughout the class.
