HOME:

While I was in the Indian hospital recovering from surgery on my broken leg, I received a phone call from Hal Sacks of Bridge Builders. “Dutch Sheets has put out a call for a nationwide prayer initiative called Paint Your Borders. He has asked us to take the lead for the state of Arizona.  Since you have nothing to do for a while, I want you to head this up for us. I am sending out an email to all our mailing list giving them your contact information. You can coordinate all those who want to participate.”  Since I was on a lot of pain meds and wasn’t thinking clearly, I said “Sure, I’ll do that.”

Over the next several weeks my phone was blowing up as people began to contact me.  Well over one hundred people, (that we know of), began to travel and pray all over Arizona. We created an online group where they could communicate with each other, saying when and where they were going, how others could join them, posting praise reports and pictures from their travels and cheering each other on as people released the Kingdom of God everywhere they went. It was an amazing thing to see so many people so fully activated to pray for our state. Several people who have lived here all their lives said they had never seen anything like it. It was truly a historic spiritual moment for Arizona.

When I got home In August, I was able to make several prayer trips and I have continued to connect with intercessors across the state. Now, moving into 2024, the Holy Spirit has given us a strategy for activating people to pray like never before. We are looking forward to what God has in store for the upcoming year here at HOME!

I stand in awe of God that He has allowed me to connect with Bridge Builders and be in such a wonderful position to lead prayer for Arizona. What a great joy and privilege to connect with wonderful prayer warriors who love Jesus and are contending for a move of God in their regions.  God is on the move and the intercessors are leading the way in Arizona!

While “home,” I have stayed active with our ministry partners throughout India – doing zoom calls, teaching on prayer, praying for them, encouraging them however I can. I may be absent in body but my spirit is still fully active there, as I continue to carry the burden of the Lord for unreached people groups.

AWAY:

While I have been restricted in traveling to India, the Word of God has not been restricted at all.

Right now, we have over 3,000 Indian leaders enrolled in the International School of Ministry (ISOM) with over 500 who have fully graduated with a diploma in Biblical Studies.  We are seeing every person that has graduated increase in fruitful ministry as well as strong character and faith. God is using this training to multiply leaders with fruitful ministry all over North India. We continually thank God for giving us this powerful tool to advance His Kingdom amongst the unreached people groups of South Asia.
