Last Quarter Evangelism Launches October 1st on the African Continent!

Last Quarter Evangelism (LQE) 2021, which will run from October 1st through December 31st, is ready to launch on the African continent and we need your prayers.

This is Year 2 of a children/youth designed and led evangelistic campaign across 37 nations on the African continent. Executive AABYF national level leadership from East, West, Central and Southern Africa have been meeting regularly to pray, plan and mobilize their youth to prepare for even greater impact than last year.

15,000 Baptist churches are targeted to participate in LQE with the goal of inviting 15,000 churches from other denominations to join them for a total of 30,000 churches engaging their kids to be on mission.

There are 5,000 evangelistic campaigns planned for LQE 2021!

There will be three specific strategies:

1. Operation “Jesus Loves You”
2. Online evangelism
3. Systematic door-to-door evangelism in the villages and cities.

How You Can Help:

1. Pray!
2. Give!

Prayer Requests:

1. Pray the Lord will release and pour out the power of the Holy Spirit upon the “Jesus Loves You” initiative so that every ear that will hear those words during LQE will be saved.
2. Pray that God will unite the denominations in an unprecedented way to be part of LQE.
3. Despite Covid 19 restrictions in certain locations, that participants will be fully committed and able to faithfully serve in their various contexts.

We are grateful for your partnership in the gospel and look forward to sharing our impact report in January of 2022.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20,21

"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6

The annual Hindu World Prayer Focus is calling Christians and churches worldwide to take 15 days to learn about and pray for our world’s over one billion Hindu friends. That period also encompasses the significant Hindu Festival of Light (Diwali).

The informative prayer guide booklets will help Christians to know how to pray for the people(s) growing up within this major and very diverse world religion. Diwali (or Deepawali) is known as the Festival of Lights, and is one of the most important annual celebrations for Hindus, lasting about 4-5 days.

While (similar to Christmas celebrations in the Christian world) it has historical and religious roots, Hindus celebrate it by lighting and displaying rows of small oil lamps, participating in family gatherings, consuming special sweets and watching fireworks. It is not our intention with this prayer focus to disparage India or the Hindu religion in any way.

We recognize that both are far too complex and too full of great traditions to simply or easily condense, explain or take lightly within a mere booklet. At the same time, as Christians, we long that all the world’s people(s) will have an opportunity to freely see, hear and understand the grace of God incarnated in Jesus Christ. To this end we inform ourselves, pray for and want to support opportunities to make that grace known also within the world’s Indian and Hindu communities.

Fire on the Altar 2022 (Herrnhut)
April 18 – Oct 15 2022
www.jh-herrnhut.de/events/fire-on-the-altar-2022/

This guide builds on Jesus’ promise in Matthew 24:14 that the good news of His kingdom will be proclaimed to every ethne—every people group—before he returns at the end of this age.

Given the rapid increase of global population, the only way God’s kingdom is currently growing faster than population increase is through church-planting movements (CPMs)—a rapid multiplication of disciples making disciples, and churches reproducing churches, to four or more generations.

Part of God’s biblical strategy for starting (catalyzing) such movements is reaching households and groups (note the Greek word oikos used for example in Luke 10:5,7; Acts 16:15,31; Col 4:15) rather than just reaching individuals.

This weekly prayer guide includes a theme with related Bible passages and prayer requests aiming toward engagement of every people and place with a CPM catalyst team.

Over the 52 weeks, we will pray for disciple-makers (those who help others become obedient followers of Jesus), movement catalysts (those God has called to pursue initiating new movements) and movement leaders (those God is using to lead existing movements).

Movement catalysts may come from within a given culture (inside catalysts) or from a different culture (outside catalysts). May the Lord guide and use all of our prayers to advance his kingdom among those still unreached.

The material in this prayer guide was produced by the 24:14 Coalition (2414now.net) in cooperation with Finishing the Task.

An ancient pattern of worship is re-emerging on the earth. 

In Acts 15, the apostle James quotes the book of Amos, declaring that the “tabernacle of David” will be restored, and the people of the earth will respond to God’s gracious invitation into fellowship with Him.  

David’s tabernacle is being restored in our day by the enthronement of God upon the praises of His people through worship!  

The Lord is birthing a global day-and-night worship and prayer movement that will lead to a historic harvest of souls entering His Kingdom.  

Worship creates encounter with the living God and His presence, bringing heaven to earth: wholeness and transformation to individuals, to cities, and to nations.  

You will discover your original purpose and eternal destiny as you step into David’s Tabernacle. 

Matthew Lilley (pictured right) is an author, worship leader, intercessor and Bible teacher with a passion for God’s presence, extravagant worship & prayer and a desire to see cities transformed by Jesus. He has helped launch two houses of prayer in North Carolina and has also served in national leadership roles in worship & prayer movements such as Burn 24-7 and Awaken the Dawn.  

'God described David as a 'man after his own heart.' David's Tabernacle helps you and me discover what was IN David's heart that moved the heart of God!  This is one of the best books written on the subject!  I highly recommend it!'  Dr Jason Hubbard - Director, International Prayer Council

The room was full of God's presence...a feeling of God's nearness impossible to describe. The whole audience began to pray. ...It was not many, but one, born of one Spirit, lifted to one Father above. ...God came to us in Pyeng Yang that night. ...Man after man would arise, confess his sin, break down and weep. Some threw themselves full length on the floor; hundreds stood with arms outstretched towards heaven. Every man forgot each other. Each was face to face with God.

Everywhere the story was told the same Spirit flowed forth and spread. All through the city men were going from house to house, confessing to individuals they had injured, returning stolen property and money. The whole city was stirred.

"This account of the 1907, Pyeng Yang revival in Korea, is not an anomaly. Not even close. Such revivals of prayer and Spirit are our history and heritage and they continue to pulse us forward in the fulfilment of the Great Commission, even today.

These revivals have brought entire cities to their knees and as they have swept across the universities they have left up to half the student body converted in their wake. This book is about such prayer, and such revivals, and preparing ourselves for another mighty movement of God's Spirit: a movement I believe we can, and will see, if we will meet God's criteria for revival and awakening."

Soldiers occupying Tigray are ethnically purging native people – detaining in concentration camps and massacring dozens. In Humera soldiers are going ‘door-to-door’ searching for ethnic Tigrayans in the campaign of slaughter with occupying soldiers saying ‘exterminate all Tigrayan residents in the city’. Last week Tigray forces attacked a hospital and religious site with artillery, killing civilians and looting medicine. See Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders have 800 staff treating war-wounded people, supporting five hospitals and running dozens of mobile clinics. See US officials recently reported fighters looting warehouses, trucks and causing destruction in every village visited. On 7th September the UN said 100 trucks of food and non-food items must enter Tigray daily to meet humanitarian needs. But less than 500 trucks have arrived since July. Over five million need emergency assistance and 400,000 face famine-like conditions. That number could get higher.

Since the February 1st military takeover, at least 1,045 protesters have been killed by security forces, and over 6,000 are currently in detention. The UK’s foreign ministry said it would impose an asset freeze on conglomerate Htoo Group of Companies and its founder Tay Za, who is involved in arms deals on behalf of the military coup leaders. The military junta has shown no signs of halting its brutal attack on the people of Myanmar and the UK with its partners will continue to restrict the junta’s access to finance and confine the supply of arms used to kill innocents, including children. The US has sanctioned Myanmar’s Minister of Information Chit Naing, Minister for Investment Aung Naing Oo, Labour and Immigration minister Myint Kyaing, and Thet Thet Khine, the minister for social welfare, relief and resettlement, as well as three members of the powerful State Administrative Council and their families – who are linked to the military coup.
