can you take a minute?

Ok... can you take 61? This sermon is about 61 minutes long and is well worth every second.....

If you can find an hour this week, maybe tuck in with your spouse and listen together? The sermon was preached to pastors (at the Together for the Gospel Conference this month) and is titled "Divine Sovereignty: The Death Defying Fuel of Missions". We listened here last night and both woke up talking about it more.... it's stirring prayers, dreams, earnestness, urgency, passion, joy. This is the stuff that sharpens us in our own discipleship and that's the very place that our ministry comes out of, our own love for the Lord and knowledge of Him.

Here it is friends.  Ligon Duncan called it the best sermon on missions he's ever heard and John Piper tweeted:  “This may have been the most powerful missions message I’ve ever heard. I needed to be quiet with God.”

coming this summer...

We are delighted to get to host a guy who is coming to work with us this summer.  He'll be here in just a few more weeks and we are eager to see him serve well.   He's a talented guy who is passionate about reaching Uyghurs with the Gospel and we're confident he can be a blessing here but we're still wide open for what exactly we can plan for him to do!

There are several ways that he could really help along the work here.  Would you ask the Father to give us wisdom and direction for what to plan for him?   Please ask the Lord to prepare relationships and till hearts to receive the words that this bold young man speaks to them...

For His Glory!

Uyghur Pop

This is just a fun one....

This cute young couple have become very popular among our Uyghur friends lately.   This video is of them singing a modern Uyghur song, with some sweet traditional instruments and vocals.

Thank you for joining with us to pray that this people will come to Christ!  Psalm 149:4  The Lord takes pleasure in his people and beautifies the meek with salvation.  May the Uyghur people be made meek.... soft and receptive to the Gospel.... that their King may beautify them with his salvation!
