The Lord is amazing! His Word tells us over and over again how He has a heart of the poor and His Mighty provisions demonstrate it day after day. We are thanking the Lord for all the new missionaries. Some want to donate their time, some want to donate their treasures, and some both. One of the newest missionaries is wanting to pick-up donated food from an area restaurant.
The Lord is responding to the 10 days of prayer and fasting in Almighty ways! Cary/Apex churches are going into the woods the second Saturday of each month throughout Wake County. This month the January 13th mission is to bring car batteries to the Lord’s lambs. The batteries are used as mini generator. An area business is offering new car batteries at an extremely reduced price. Another area business is offering to take the batteries to camp areas while missionaries take them into the camps. The media may be covering this story due to the magnitude of the services offered by businesses as well as churches. Metal luggage carts are still needed to assist with carrying the batteries into the woods. Please keep this monthly mission in your prayers. Ask that each lamb realize that Jesus has provided all of this. Each time they use the batteries, they grow to know Jesus more and more. Each time missionaries come into the woods, they see the heart and hands of Jesus reaching out to each one of them. For more information contact Alice Ligon at appraisal@nc.rr.com or Al Boyce at aboyce@nc.rr.com .
A new CitW campaign has been started. The Lord brought the idea from the movie “Our House." CitW is asking for donations of $280 each. These donations will be used to help a lamb ready to work get started in a job. It is challenging to get a job when one has been without an address or work experience for many years. This donation will be given to an employer for the lamb’s first week pay. For more information contact Alice Ligon at appraisal@nc.rr.com . She has the flyer which can be used in your church. The flyer will also be uploaded at the Yahoo site.
A missionary was contacted by a couple in Sydney Australia. She and her husband have been praying for the Lord to bring His lost lambs to their presence. She and her husband went for a drive and were able to see two lambs. They were able to provide this lamb a meal plus a gift card for to more meals. She was so excited how the Lord answered her prayers she went to see a sister in Christ. They are planning more mission trips and having their church make the friendship bags. For more information of the bag see http://www.better.com/articles/ministries/friendship.him . Please keep this new Australia mission in your prayers. Another woman in Asheville, NC, who had been prayer walking and distributing pamphlets about God and Jesus has recently started looking for the homeless as well. She, too, has found several and is looking for partners there to begin a mission like Church in the Woods.
Last week we asked for prayers for the lamb who went out after working for five weeks. The Lord is so faithful to give a glimpse of why some things might happen. His girlfriend is suffering from an aneurism and is the hospital. Her memory has been an issue. While he had returned to the woods, he didn’t call or visit her. When he returned to the missionaries’ home, he called. She remembered when the last time he called and visited. Praise God! We are thanking God for the return of His lamb, the opportunity to receive his job and his commitment. This week he watched a DVD from Manchester, KY -- new way to stop drugs and crime. The lamb added input of how it might be used in Wake County. For more information please read http://nppnblog.blogspot.com/2005/10/city-impact-Manchester-key-pastors-lead.html
This lamb’s heart is softened every day. He was watching a Christian program with missionaries’ youngest special needs son. The child signed to his mother that he watched Jesus with the lamb on TV. He also told her he “lump him.”. The lamb beamed. The two continued to watch children's programming together. He often reads from the child's Bible and has been looking at another book about Mother Teresa.
One of the Lord’s lambs has been staying with missionaries for a month. He was accepted back into the Cary Oxford home this week. He has stricter rules to follow with the house and now has a support circle from an area church. Please keep this lamb in your prayers as he goes through this transition.
Please keep one of the Lord’s lambs in prayer. He is working with the county system to find a job. He has been turned down because of his lack of experience and only allowed to work so few hours per week due to his disability check. He is hearing impaired. He has been blessed to have worked with an area company for 18 months but had to quit it once he received his check because he worked too many hours. He used some of his savings to purchase a new mountain bike this week. He needed transportation.
The Lord placed a lamb in missionaries’ hearts from Moore Square. He was given their phone number and has been calling. He interviewed for a job and is asking for prayer. An area church has paid his first month’s rent be he needs a job for the second months. He also needs furniture. Someone has donated a refrigerator, blankets, and a monthly bus pass. While helping the man get his bus pass, a missionary was able to give away a Bible that had been returned by a lamb who preferred the King James Version! Please contact Cindy Boyce at cboyce@nc.rr.com for more information.
Another lamb is at ACT. Please keep her in your prayers that she will complete the 14 day program and be willing to go to the Healing Place instead of directly into a transitional home. Although she is quite capable of working, the monetary temptation will bring her back to the streets. She is a perfect candidate for Support Circles.
Another lamb who was in a car accident and now a wheel chair has asked for prayers to assist him with anxiety issues. He has become involved with a “Bikers for Christ” group in Clayton. He also asked for acupuncture again this week. It helps keep him calm. Please pray the Lord would spark an interest with the “Bikers for Christ” in becoming a support circle for this lamb. The group is already involved in prayer walking and witnessing in many areas and has expressed an interest in partnering with Church in the Woods to do more.
The Lord continues to move donations where they are needed. Another carload of children's clothing, baby food and other items was transferred this week to a missionary who is running support circles for women and children. She said, "Every time I fill up my van, I send out an email and it's all gone by the end of the day!" Praise God.
This week’s missions are focusing on prayer due to the prayer and fasting. Each lamb was asked to pray, not send a petition to the Lord, but a prayer. Tears filled so many eyes as they thanked and praised Jesus.
The number of lambs attending each Thursday is increasing due to the acupuncture treatments. So many of these lambs want to be released from substance abuse and are feeling changes through treatments and your prayers. Please continue your prayers as so many lambs want to be substance free. Please also pray for more acupuncturists to donate their time. A fund has been started to pay for their needles.
People are beginning to get excited about the opportunity of showers, laundry tickets, and a meal Saturday afternoons. The lambs were teasing another lamb, “You need to take a shower, not just go, eat, and visit.”
The next Mobile Medical mission is January 25th at With Love From Jesus, 421 Chapanoke Road. Alice McGee will open the doors for the medical team at 6. The mission will begin at 6:30. Area high school students in a pre-med program are planning to attend. Dentist and hygienists are needed. A foot physician is also needed. Please pray for this mission. For more information contact Alice McGee at 772-7050.
