Belize Prayer Month

After a mission meeting at Grove City Nazarene, October has become the month to pray for Belize. Specifically, about our moving there, when this can happen, preparations, both on our end and with the people in Belize.

Here are some of my thoughts over the last couple of days:

Hello everyone -

I've been thinking about how we should be praying for Belize...

I don't have a lot of specifics but I am really being challenged in my own reading currently to not just pray safe, predictable prayers and to see opportunities out of things that may not look like opportunities when they first present themselves.

They 'might' look like opportunities but they may also seem
too big,
too costly,
too far beyond our reach,
not what we were planning
or how we were planing it

or they may even look like trouble...

I'm not sure where this is all headed yet but some of the Scriptures I'm being challenged by are not the normal, comfortable, safe kind of Scriptures. So, I just wanted to share this and say this:

As we pray this month for the developing ministry in Belize, let's expect to be surprised. Let do as David said, Let God hear our requests in the morning and then wait in expectation.

And, do not look past ANYTHING that comes up that has to do with Belize! ANY comment, article, person, broadcast, etc. etc. just might lead to the next connection we need.

Lastly, let's share our prayer thoughts, nudges, Scriptures, fears, hopes and let's see if we can track down the element of mystery in all of this - that part God has yet to reveal to us!

Seeking His face...
