Blessed New Year Greetings to our Friends and Partners!

This verse from my devotions this morning imparted great peace to my heart and I pray the Holy Spirit will do the same for you as we launch into the New Year:

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6

After a few weeks home in December, enjoying some rest, study and joyful family times, I will be heading Japan on Wednesday. Please join me in prayer for this trip and the following stateside ministry the rest of January:

_________________________


1. Jan. 4 - 10. Kyoto, JAPAN. Pray for quick jet-lag recovery, clarity in preaching and prophetic ministry. I'm asking God for accurate words with weight and density to help move these churches into Kingdom advance in the needy nation of Japan. As you might have heard, a 7.0 earthquake struck under the south sea of Japan on Sunday. Though buildings shook in the capitol, it did not create a tsunami. May the Lord of earthquakes shake this nation spiritually for the gospel.

2. Jan. 20-22. Rochester, NY. I'll be ministering and also visiting my mother, who is in a nursing home. She has Parkinson's and is mostly confined to a wheelchair. I'm asking for some sweet prayer time and spiritual dialog while we're together.

3. Jan. 26-29. Riverview, FL. Ministering in a prophetic presbytery at South Bay Community Church. This will be this church's first encounter with prophetic ministry. I visited there in October to lay a foundation and they will be preparing all month with prayer and fasting. Joining me will be my friend and fellow prophetic minister, Bob Watson, who is an elder at our home base, Grace Church. Please pray for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit on all these meetings.

In this new year of 2012, ministry to the Nations seems to be calling louder and more frequently. In Feb., I will be in England, Cuba in March, England again in April, Canada in May and Vietnam in June. That's just the first half of the year!

This will, of course, require extra finances and resource to do. We know of God's faithfulness through partners in the gospel, that Paul writes about in Philippians 4. If the Lord would lead you to partner with us financially to help with one of these foreign trips, we would be so grateful. Many of you help us regularly and for special missions. As Paul writes, in v. 16 & 17, "...you sent help for my needs once and again. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit." That is my prayer also.

Should you be prompted to help this way, you can give by check or on-line through my local church, Grace Church, in Chapel Hill, NC. www.gracelife.com

Please keep our family in prayer as I travel. Last year I traveled 212 days and flew almost 150,000 miles. We need God's continual flow of grace and mercy and couldn't proceed without your faithful prayers and support.

As always, when I go, you go with me!
