Prayer Update!

Today as we debriefed with staff who just returned from China and Thailand I am again overwhelmed by the immensity of the harvest and the reality that the laborers are few! We need more Laborers! The sheer number of those who do not know Christ, who've never heard the truth of the Gospel. The reality of the darkness that holds them captive. The reality that despite generations of missionaries going out that there is still such a great darkness to be pierced with the light of the Gospel in this world. Seeing how God has used the last twenty years of ministry to see men and women be raised up and go out into the world as Christ's Laborers compels me to recommit myself to continue to build laborers on the campus for the lost world. It is truly worth it!

 
In Matthew 9 "Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.""

Please join with me to pray specifically for the places that the Lord is allowing us to directly pierce the darkness beyond our borders. The Campus Outreach ministries that are located around the U.S.A. send short-term Cross Cultural Project teams to partner with CO teams and other ministries in other countries during their summer break. These CCP teams ministered in the following countries this past summer:

• Brisbane, Australia
• Belo Horizonte, Brazil
• China (2) Teams
• India (2) Teams
• Johannesburg, South Africa (5) Teams
• Malasia/Singapore (2) Teams
• Dunedin, New Zealand
• KhonKean, Thailand

Pray that God would draw the fruit of the CCPs to Himself in each of these countries.
Pray that God would establish these new Christians solidly in their faith in Christ.
Pray God would raise up laborers through each of these ministries for His glory.
Pray God would mobilize laborers into His harvest field around the world!

Thank you for your partnership in "Building Laborers on the Campus for the Lost World!" We are truly grateful for you as we know that none of this would be possible without the Lord working through you in our lives!
