July 2008 Prayer Letter

Dear Friend,
Today as I write this letter it is a beautiful day in the Pacific
Northwest. On days like today there is no better place in the world
to live than here, but those days seem to be few and far between.
We like the rest of the country have been dealing with strange
weather patterns, unusual amounts of rain and cold and cloudy
weather. As we look at all that is happening around us economically
and politically it is easy to wonder if the Lord’s coming could be
near.
One thing that the Lord has impressed upon my heart during these
difficult times is that we need to be steadfast in our walk with
God. When times are hard and everything around us seems to be
spinning out of control, can we be strong and persevere or do we
run around like Henny Penny saying "The sky is falling, the sky is
falling!" Because we live in a prosperous land it’s easy to let
the things around us erode our trust in God and his provision and
depend on ourselves. We need to be reminded that none of this is a
surprise to the Lord and He is sovereign and has it all under
control. The question is will we be faithful to continue the work
until He comes. I pray so!
In spite of the hard times financially, we are seeing God do amazing
things in Healing Hearts. A few months ago Healing Hearts materials
were mailed to a woman in Kenya who did not have regular access to
a computer. God is receiving much glory through this contact. Here
is a short reply from her:
"Dear Sister, I want to tell you that you ladies
you are greatly shaking us in the traditional faith that we called
the truth through your teachings. The booklets you sent have a great
meaning of the kingdom we are currently awaiting to come on earth.
Please continue to pray and for Bible for us. By the moment my
husband reads and memorise to share with the like minded brethren.
Blessings, Sister Evaline"
We also received word from the ladies that we trained in Uganda.
The ministry is growing fast there. Although we left approximately
50 of our Bible studies with them, many of the women cannot
understand English so they went to work and have already translated
the Healing Hearts study into their language. Here is a brief report
from Uganda:
"In May we were invited to Kireka one of the outskirts of the capital
City for a meeting in the slums of Banda and Kamuli B, C and A. We
had the privilege to speak to the married women and the singles who
gathered in that area. Many were blessed and those who have ever
gone through an abortion had the passion to go through the Healing
Hearts post-abortion study. We are also gratitude to Jesus Christ
our Lord. We have been able to translate the post-abortion bible
study into our local language so that also those who do not
understand English may also benefit from it. Ah many are going to be
blessed through this interpreted manual since it has been our
greatest barrier in the areas of post-abortion outreach. Blessings
Veronica & Harriet"
This past month we have also received an inquiry from Ireland.
Please pray for our foreign outreach as it is growing rapidly. Pray
that God will show us how we can continue ministry in light of the
current economic situation. We know He has a plan as He would not
send these precious people to us unless He wanted us to minister to
them.
Please pray for the following:
- Foreign outreach – for wisdom and direction as we grow.
(Ukraine, Holland, Australia, Uganda, Zambia, Israel, Ireland, Canada.
- For trainees– We are discipling trainees for our fall
training to be held in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It is possible
that we could have 30. Please pray for them as they prepare for
ministry in their home churches and for training.
- Illnesses – Many of our leaders and their families have
been hit with severe illnesses. Please pray for God’s healing hand
to be upon them.
- 20th Anniversary Celebration and Conference. This
September 24-28 Healing Hearts will celebrate 20 years in ministry
at our national conference in Colorado Springs, CO. Please pray for
us as we prepare for this very important event.
- Finances – We have had a significant decrease in our
finances over the last several months. Please pray for God’s
provision especially over the summer when giving is traditionally
down.
I would like to leave you with a testimony from a man who just
completed the men’s study online.
This Bible study is what the Lord wanted for me. I wish it were
mandatory study for every Christian. Though I did not take part in
the decision to have an abortion with my wife (she'd had it before
I met her) she, and indeed we were suffering, as a result of it.
After my wife left our family, I "accidentally" found Healting
Hearts after a search on the web for Post Abortive Counseling.
I see it was no accident it was God's hand of loving providence.
He is the answer for the ills that we suffer. He alone is the
One that can help us. And He did help me and my wife by my doing
this study. I have been shown the kind of man I need to be for my
own walk with God, and as the head of my household. Only time will
tell what will happen with my wife and family, but the anger and
bitterness that I have clung to is let go, thanks to the freedom
experienced in Christ. Though a Christian most of my life, Wounded
Warrior has taken the scriptures and applied them in a way that was
absolutely, wonderfully used by God to have me see the way I need
to live. Thank-you, Alan, and thank-you Lord. "D"
We want to thank you for your prayers and your financial gifts.
May the Lord bless and keep you always.
In His love
International Director
