"Prayer is the language of a man burdened
with a sense of need."
~E.M. Bounds
Burdened with a need - WE ARE!
We are continually are reminded of our complete
dependence on God to guide and enable us
toward the fulfillment of His Great Commission!
As a result, we have renewed our commitment to prayer.
Our teams around the world have set two specific
times of prayer for the work of Strategic Impact:
* Daily - at 10:02 (a reminder of Luke 10:2) we briefly pray for
workers unto the Harvest.
* Monthly - the first Friday of each month, we take an extended
time of prayer for the general needs of Strategic Impact
including: Direction, Wisdom, Staff Members, The Lost,
Funding, Churches that have been and will be Planted.
You will find specific Praises and Needs below.
Won't you join us?

Please pray for the mini Leadership Thrust and School of Multiplying Leaders work in Lima, Peru,
which is being held May 9-14. Pray that God would use this to plant
new churches and motivate these leaders to launch multiplying disciples
to start a church planting movement. Pray that many of them would begin
the School of Multiplying Leaders. Pray also for those already involved
with the SML in Peru to be faithful to their commitment.
3.
Pray for the leaders who begain the SML in Bauleni, Zambia and Lilongwe, Malawi.
Pray they would remain faithful to their commitment, and that the Lord
would bring many to Christ through their evangelistic work. Pray for
these leaders to identify 2 other leaders who will start the SML in late
June.
4.
Pray for clarity, wisdom, and discernment as The Fish and Loaves Project continues to explore new areas of opportunity to provide self-funding for Strategic Impact.
5.
Pray for the Lord to continue to provide the
resources of finances, personnel, and materials to accomplish the great
vision and plans He has given us, as well as to provide the additional
needs for growth within the world regions we presently work and
expansion into new regional opportunities.
6.
Pray for the continued growth and development of Schools of Multiplying Leaders throughout Venezuela. Omar Pina is doing a great job of expanding the vision. Pray that the fruit that is coming forth will remain and multiply.
7.
Pray for the leaders who begain the SML in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Pray they would multiply themselves by reaching out to and equipping others. Pray for the upcoming July mini-Leadership Thrust and expansion of the SML.
8.
Praise the Lord for His financial provision so we
may start the year "in the black." Please pray for the needed funds to
arrive soon for the continued work in June, July, and August.
We covet your prayers! Ephesians 6:18 "And pray in the Spirit on all
occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be
alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people."
Thank you for joining us in bringing these needs before the Lord!
