Cooking Up a Supporter Newsletter

It’s getting to that time, where we need to start thinking about accumulating supporters.

So if you read this blog, you may well be one of them.

Heh. Don’t worry. We aren’t asking for money (yet!) At this stage, we would like to build a base of prayer support. If there is one thing to be learned from Philip and Beth’s experience with Community of Hope, it is that prayer support is one of your most important weapons.

Given the next big thing on our agenda will be a scouting trip to Alberta in March, now would be a great time to get prayer warriors interceding for us. We will have a very significant decision to make in looking at a target community, culture, and people. We will need wisdom and discernment, and we will also be begging God to make our sight clear and unclouded by our own selfish preferences. We will also need prayer to direct us to those who we need to talk to locally, or even those who God wants to talk to us. There are so many things that could come out of this trip, but we desire God’s handiwork to be all over it, and that takes prayer.

To that end, we are now compiling a list of people who would like to receive an emailed monthly newsletter updating them on our journey, and outlining our current prayer needs. I have a number of people on a list now, but I haven’t actually asked them if they’d like to receive this prayer newsletter. So, to that end, I want to ask all of our readers here if they would like to sign up to receive it. If you come here and read this blog, then you already have some interest in our endeavours. All we are asking for is that you consider committing to praying for us – daily, weekly, as often as you can, with a focus on our current needs. If you would like to receive this newsletter, please sign up by dropping your email in this handy-dandy newsletter signup below. Note, this is different from the email sign up on the right. That one is to have the blog posts emailed to you instead of having to surf here on the internet.
