Priorities
If you are like me, the pressures of daily life can take their
toll. Children. Ministry. Future needs. Present needs. There are only
so many minutes in a day to do all that there is to do! How does
one prioritize? How does one do what is most needy?
Well, one could simply ask God. Lord, what do You want me to do today?
This week? Where can I best a servant to others? You tell me because You
know and desire what is best for others and me.
That's a great place to start. Of course, even when God shows His desire for
our lives, life itself does not necessarily get any easier. Just a more
purposeful.
In the ministry to reach Algeria with the Gospel of Christ, the needs and
opportunities can seem intimidating and overwhelming.
Where does one start with a population of 33 million? What can one person
do to change the course of this nation? For who hath known the mind of the
Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
(1 Corinthians 2:16)
After much prayer and petitioning of the Lord for guidance, one ministry has
come to the forefront. The training of godly Algerian brothers and sisters
is one of the greatest needs faced by the emerging Church in Algeria.
Wisdom and courage is needed on the part of all participants - Algerians
(Arabs & Berbers) and partnering mission organizations & churches.
Many other needs exist in Algeria. A host of opportunities must be pursued.
But the training of church leaders is foundational to the spiritual health of
the Church and its sustaining Biblical growth.
God has said, "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou
shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye." (Psalms 32:8)
Please, pray for this ongoing ministry to prepare church leaders for ministry
in their homeland. Pray that the Holy Spirit would teach and guide each
that the Church in Algeria would expand and become a light in Algeria,
in the Arab World, and to the uttermost.
Your participation in intercession is vital! Seize this opportunity to stand
side-by-side your Algerian brothers and sisters! For the Kingdom and for the
glory of the King!!!
