This a request for prayer for Four Corners Community Church, for
Shiprock, the Navajo Nation and the Four Corners i.e. the Colorado
Plateau.
This Sunday at 10:30, we are holding a Solemn Assembly at the
Church, a time for corporate repentance and prayer according to Joel Ch
1 and 2, and in the prayer flow of Daniel 9, Nehemiah 1 and 9, and Ezra
9. I am asking that Sunday a.m. you remember us in your service times.
Any of you are welcome to come and join us. This marks the beginning of
a 10 month period of intense prayer and fasting and one-on-one outreach
into the streets and homes of Shiprock. As far as we know, this is the
first time anything like we are seting out on has been done by this
church or even by any of the churches in Shiprock.
This is not handing
out "tracts" or a "turn or burn" evangelistic effort. This is Isaiah 58
in action. The poor and needy, the homeless are to be fed, clothed, and
housed. Isaiah 61,we are to bring freedom from bondage and healing to
the wounded.
The process of regional transformation began about a year
ago, now is the time for action. Hector Torres' visit was a necessary step of training into the actual
pushing out. (we are still working on copying audio and video tapes of
his teaching. Please be patient.)
Pray for the churches of Shiprock that they would desire to come
together in this worthy endeavor.
Pray for resources and provision.
Pray
for perseverance.
The Lord continues to give us new songs and we are
now ready to begin to record these to give out. Pray for that also.
There is a lot of anticipation and momentum as we move forward. Pray the
Lord of the Harvest to raise up the workers of His vineyard for the
task. The plateau will be truly a "heart of fire"
Soli Deo Gloria
For the glory of God alone,
Chris and Shelley
