Why Should I Pray?
Throughout the ages the people of God have demonstrated the great importance of a life filled with prayer (Genesis 12: 5,8; 35: 2,3,7; 26:36- 39; Psalms 55: 17; Matthew 14: 23; Mark 1: 35; Luke 9: 18, 29 & I Thessalonians 5:17). If we are to follow in the steps of our faithful forerunners we should use the great tool of Spirit-filled prayer because we can see that it has proven itself effective.
Let there be no doubt in our minds our thanksgiving, our petitions, our supplications and our intercessory prayers to the Almighty do impact our lifes stage and to a greater degree our world environment and our ability to interact with it. For we are taught in the scriptures that our sincere prayers are both heard and answered by the very Lord of heaven and earth (Job 22: 27; 2 Chronicles 7: 14 16 & Matthew 18: 19).
When it comes to our Christ given mandate of global evangelization & church planting it is evident that both persistent and serious challenges do loom on the horizon. In the absence of effectual prayer Gods people quickly lose their ability to identify the appropriate remedies to overcome and wrestle with the offending forces of darkness (Ephesians 6:18; Romans 12:12; Philippians 14: 6 & I Timothy 2:8).
Awestruck Ministries desires serious prayer partners. We need prayer specialists who are willing to offer heartfelt intercessory prayer for our families, our travels and for our continued ability to impact the forgotten people who live in the remote corners of the earth. An unyielding prayer life is no easy undertaking but some of you are specialists and you know how to approach the throne of God and struggle just as Jacob did in Genesis. Awestruck Ministries is calling upon all of you to bow the knee and pray for us.
Why Should I Help?
Awestruck Ministries Prayer Requests
Diligently pray that all team members with Awestruck will both hear and consent to leadership of the Sprit of Christ. Further, petition our God to go before us into the Baja peninsula and open doors for evangelism and the establishment of new churches. Every time we go into a town we must ask for permission from local authorities so please pray for the openness of men's hearts. Pray for revival in Bahia de Los Angeles; pray for openness the establishment of new churches in San Luis Gonzaga, Punta Prieta, Santa Rosaliita, Villa Jesus Maria, San Francisquito and El Arco.
Please pray that God will continue to assist us in developing viable relationships in Mexico with college students, pastors, pastors wives, evangelists and lay people who are dedicated to reaching other Mexican nationals living in remote villages, ranches and seasonal encampments of Baja California. Remember: Ricardo Bolanos; Tim & Soidet Sprague of Zapata, BCN.
Please pray that God will greatly increase our current number of involved partners stateside. We desire that new members get involved as volunteers, prayer warriors and financial investors. Several villages have no fresh water wells; others have very little educational literature for adults or children. Pray that Awestruck finds the perfect balance in addressing these needs. Helping these communities in these areas can prove to be great inroads for sharing Christ.
As part of our quest to evangelize central Baja we desire to make available to every household a new copy of the Holy Bible. To accomplish this we need a minimum of 5000 6000 Spanish Bibles. Please pray that God will furnish the investor(s) necessary to accomplish this much needed task.
Please pray for healing in the life of an unsaved man who lives in Santa Rosaliita, BCN. The gentlemens name is Jose Ramon Peralta Fierro. He not very old and is providing for a wife and two daughters but is suffering from painful arthritis and psoriasis.
Please pray for adequate funding to be raised during Awestruck Ministries first fund raiser. It is slated for November 18th 2005 and we will attempt, by Gods grace to meet our annual budgetary needs.
Pray for God to use both Bill Ringland and Byron Cobb and as they head to Baja between September 24th and October 1, 2005. They will be showing bible based films and sharing the word of God in Bahia de Los Angeles, Punta Prieta and Santa Rosaliita BCN.
