Aware of the spiritual battle
While seeing increased fruitfulness, and adapting to the challenges of growth, we are also recognising an increasing number of attempts by the enemy to foster anxiety and fear. We are also seeing an unusual rise in the number of our members facing life-threatening disease. It is easy to forget that we are in the midst of an intense cosmic battle along with many other gospel ministries and principally God’s Church around the world.
Learning from Nehemiah
As global events unfold in increasingly unpredictable ways that impact our mission family, we have taken encouragement recently from Nehemiah’s response to catastrophic news about God’s people. Upon hearing of Israel’s distress and difficulty, Nehemiah cried out to God, acknowledging sin, claiming God’s promises, declaring total dependence on God, and calling on God to intervene. We’re inspired by his prayerful confidence grounded in gratefulness for who God is.
May God give spiritual insight to each of our 3,100 members, sending churches and supporters across the world to purposefully and consistently engage the battle alongside the Lord of Hosts, knowing He is the One who fights for us.
Standing together by His grace,
From the International Director of Pioneers
