Intercessors

Intercessors Alert
Sunday, May 20, 2007

Bev and I really need your prayers like never before.  So much is at stake in Peru, Philippines, Bolivia, Chile, Kenya and Sudan.  Our call to these countries and thus our burden for them has resulted in a direct physical assault on Bev.  This is why we are writing to you today!

The background of Bev’s attack is very briefly covered in today’s word.  Here it is again for your convenience:

Suffering. In two days, my wife will have suffered for two straight weeks at levels we have not known. Last Friday night, an intercessor called her and said God had spoken to her and said for her to read pages 285 and 286 of John and Paula Sandford's book, Healing the Wounded Spirit. She said to Bev, the story about John being attacked through a coven of witches headed by a warlock is what has happened to you. A spear has been sent to silence your mouth and tongue and your ministry in Chiclayo, Peru. In prayer yesterday, these words came from Bev's mouth, "This is not just my suffering. It is for the suffering of the people in Peru and the Philippines who so need to know the love of Christ and the gospel." The Lord says this morning, nothing is wasted if you have heard My voice and you will now obey My every word as did Jesus. Suffering. 

Hebrews 5:7-8 "In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety. Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered."

NOTE 1.  See the important announcement concerning rice evangelism in Peru as Bekah and I go there June 4-13.  We need your help.

PERU
The word of the Lord through Bev (and I fully agree) Saturday morning was that we are to focus on Chiclayo, Peru.  Partly because that is where we believe the witchcraft came from that was spoken against her to hit her mouth and tongue.  The city is noted for its false gods, witches and demonic activity.  That is part of why God gave me the picture of the city in a dream.  We are called there to set the people free from the snare of the enemy.

Our main thrust is to minister to the poor and their children in Chiclayo and Trujillo, Peru.  But God has now also released us again to hold major apostolic conferences to impart apostolic word and ministry to the Peruvian people and their leaders in many other cities we have visited before. 

Nilton is nine years old and the most precious little boy you can imagine.  I love Nilton like he is my own child.  Our granddaughter will be living in a room with Nilton’s family.  They need the rent income they will receive from FCM.  In February, we helped Nilton’s mother buy a sewing machine so the family will have income.  He needs help and so does is older sister and brother in order to attend school in Chiclayo.

There are literally hundreds more kids in Chiclayo like Nilton whom we can help disciple to be like Jesus while helping him become educated and a productive Christian citizen.

Antonella Gorety is eleven years old.  She is bright and hopeful.  Her eyes sparkle with the light of Jesus and she is ready to start learning.  But she needs our help in order to attend school.

PHILIPPINES
Again, the word of the Lord through Bev was that we were to focus on the Philippines along with Peru.  These are the two countries more on our hearts because of what God has said prophetically.  That we intend to do.  Filipinos have won our hearts and God has given us great pastors with whom to work there.  It is an honor to be so well favored.  Kathy Bohlin is in charge of Philippine Missions and doing a superb job at every level.  We are very proud of her.

BOLIVIA
We are sending David and Petie Newsome in our stead to Bolivia.  And there is another person who is ready to be sent with them.  They will minister to the poor and their children and hold apostolic conferences.  We so appreciate David and Petie for surrendering to this call.  Petie will continue to pastor their church in Temple as her primary duty, but will travel to Bolivia as well with David.  I will be giving oversight to this penetration of Bolivia with apostolic impartation.

CHILE
The Lord says that now is not the time for Chile.  The doors are wide open, but there is a check right now.  Please pray.

KENYA and SUDAN
The word of the Lord is the same for Kenya and Sudan as it is for Chile and again, we ask that you pray.

CLEAR WORD FROM GOD – THANK YOU!
In our last INTERCESSOR ALERT! we asked that you pray for us that we would receive a clear word from God.  We have that word now and we thank you.

YOUR PRAYERS AND COUNSEL
We welcome your prayers plus any counsel you may choose to give.

NOTE 1.  God has put it into my heart to make a profound love impact on Chiclayo this June as Bekah and I go there.  Many people were very disappointed because of a major misstep on a leader’s part after we left Chiclayo last time.  It is because of that that we are sending Bekah as our Fullness Missionary.  They will love her!

In addition, I would like to purchase a mountain of rice to distribute to the sections of Chiclayo in exchange for preaching the gospel and telling the people about His love.  Last August, we saw 450 saved by doing this on a much smaller scale.

I want to challenge you to pray about send a generous donation (I suggest $100.00) to help us buy the mountain of rice as a Jesus love gift.  Here is what you do:

RICE EVANGELISM MOUNTAIN:  
You could make an great impact on the spiritual life of Chiclayo children!

WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU
Send any word or counsel God may give you to us PERSONALLY.  Your word or counsel will not be made public without your express permission granted at our personal request of you.  Go To: Contact Us for address information.

We love you and count it an honor to have you praying with us about such important matters as this.  You are part of the FCM team through your labors of intercession and financial support.  It would be impossible to overstate our gratitude.

With love and blessings,
Ras and Bev
