GPA Cuba: Accomplished! | January 23, 2015

Dear praying friends,

GPA Cuba: Accomplished! Thank you for praying. The 32 delegates raved about the teaching and attested the GPA was the “biggest time” they and their wives had had in their lives. Some RREACH friends with a heart for Cuba helped fund the GPA and sent a team to lead a special track for the pastors’ wives. Praise God and pray that the fruit of GPA Cuba will multiply to His glory.

Would you also lift up the following items?

Total protection and global provision for every moment and detail concerning the GProCongress.

Dr. Richard and Bonnie spending time away together this weekend, the Lord willing.

Preparations for the Dallas GPA and selection of just the right pastors. To date, 18 pastors have been accepted and six have visas.

We appreciate you.

Travel recovery, special meetings and Dallas GPA prep | January 15, 2015

Dear praying friends,

The Lord provided what Dr. Richard called a “terrific” trip of ministry through India. Thank you for your prayers! It was also physically and spiritually rigorous, and your prayer for his rejuvenation and scheduled trip to attend a conference of Christian leaders in the Pacific Northwest would be appreciated. Next week, the Lord willing, a number of key GProCongress personnel will gather in Dallas for intensive meetings. We thank Him for these gifted and committed individuals and request prayer for their preparation, travel, discussion, decisions, and execution of plans.

And, believe it or not, the 2015 Dallas GPA is coming soon. To date we have accepted 16 candidates, two from new countries. We are praying for 25 fine young pastors to attend, at least five from countries never before represented at the GPA. Pastor S from Ivory Coast, a new country, applied for and received his visa this week! Please pray the Lord’s favor on these, and on the national GPA currently going on in Cuba.

A sleepless but splendid start to 2015 | January 2, 2015

Dear praying friends,

“I am worn out after a rich and meaningful start to the New Year, just like I would want it—my equivalent of a ministry-Times Square ball-drop!” So wrote Dr. Richard after he spoke at a Watch Night service for 2,000 in Chennai, India. (You can watch a brief video here: http://viewpure.com/YSzXech0cMc.) He has since traveled north to Maharashtra State to meet with pastors, cast vision for the GProCongress, and speak at an evangelistic event for business leaders, all organized by GPA grad Pastor A. Early reports indicate that about 110, 60% nonbelievers, attended the evangelistic event. The Lord willing, on January 5 he’ll be off to another city for a spontaneously-organized evangelistic event.

As you remember Dr. Richard and these ministry opportunities in prayer, please also ask the Lord to give him restorative sleep. He managed to get three hours in the first 30 of this trip. Thank you for praying!
