March Prayer
RE: February’s SPECIAL PRAYER REQUEST
We had a tremendous time at the CRM Singapore conference last Friday, March 3rd. 81 participants, including 19 senior pastors, were really moved by the plenary message and felt the workshops gave them practical tools to become more intentional about their growth and the growth of their followers.
Our Singaporean facilitators did an excellent job in their workshops, and more than a dozen people signed up for new mentoring networks. Please pray for several facilitators following up the contacts this week to see new networks started.
All the CRMS leaders were very encouraged and felt a growing sense of esprit de corps. Now another big step of growth for us will be to recruit our first staff members!
THANK YOU for your prayers and partnership.
What’s up this month…
2- CRM Singapore Executive Committee meeting
3- First CRM Singapore public conference
5 – A classmate of Tyler’s, David comes to stay with us for 2 weeks while his parents are at meetings for their mission in Thailand.
6 – Kimberly starts praying on Monday mornings with Dawn Fung, the other ‘moderator’ of the Singapore Arts4Jesus egroup. How can we best moderate and encourage this 6 year old group of more than 250?
7-11 Jim attends conference of international mission leaders in Indonesia, trying to help get the Chinese Church more connected with international Christian Body.
11- “Knight’s Faire” at the kids’ school, Kim’s Thursday Drama Workout will do some dramatic storytelling for the littler ones. Pray that the Lord would lead us to opportunities for these kids to use their new skill where they can truly minister to the orphaned, needy or sick.
13-17 Jim following up with Christian leaders from CRM’s first public conference in Singapore. Please pray for the Singaporean CRM facilitators to start new mentoring networks with the participants.
14 – Kimberly continues to help Director/Actor Elizabeth seek God’s direction for a secular devised theatre piece on Desires. The others in her cast are not yet believers.
16 – The Salvation Army Artists’ Group takes a break this week because they are hosting the KID’S GAMES today (a kids Olympics and outreach to school children). Praise God for their transparency and great character lessons they are learning together.
17- Kimberly hosts a gathering for artists who are believers after a Dance Concert SOJOURN in town (performed by dancers who are part of a fellowship of professional dancers). Pray that God will encourage those who come both to the concert as well as the more intimate gathering of artists from our egroup.
21-23 Jim’s focusing leaders networks meet
25-29 Family Mission Trip to Udon Thani in NE Thailand. We take our boys’ school holiday week to visit the village of our house helper. She comes from a Buddhist family and doesn’t know of any Christians in the region. Pray for us and for her as we share Jesus love and truth with her family and neighbors.
31-2 Jim attends a professional coaching course to enhance his skills in helping Christian leaders hear and respond to God’s leading.
We have had some exciting emails from friends this past month. We love to hear of your new opportunities, how you’re growing, and ways that we can be praying for you through difficult circumstances. What’s new with you? We pray that God is working in and through you and that your life is full of joy no matter what.
