ONE MINUTE PRAYER

Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  

If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.   John 14:13-14  (ESV)

ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT: In WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped! 

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America. If you would like to participate: each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying: for REVIVAL and obedience to the LORD, for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, and for peace in the world. 

If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along. Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.

MONTHLY MISSIONS UPDATE

"For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor with a shield." Psalm 5:12

Sherry Bernheisel (pictured in cream jacket) has moved for full time mission work in La Mision, Baja Mexico.  Sherry went on our Mexico Mission Trip in June 2014 and felt the Lord calling her to serve there full time.  She will be working with the children at the Open Arms Ministry (www.openarmsmexico.org), the Door of Faith Orphanage (www.dofo.org), and at the Rosarito Beach Christian Church. Sherry has been a big part of our children's ministry here at Desert Springs Church for years and will be extremely missed by all of us and the children. Please pray for Sherry as she will have many cultural changes to adapt to and trusting on the Lord for her every need. We know He is faithful to those He has called according to His purpose.



Evangeline St. Clair Byrnes, also a member of our church family, is getting ready to leave for 4 months for Tacloban, Philippines.  As you know Evangeline was born and raised there and has been a missionary with UTAP for many years.  We are proud to support her both financially and in prayer. Evangeline has asked us to specifically pray for funding and building projects. There is still so much to be done to restore the homes, churches and businesses after the typhoon and many floods.

Our YWAM missionaries Adam & Alei Hussey, serving in Manila, Phillipines, have just requested prayer for their young daughter Eliana, who is having terrible food allergies.  Adam is finishing another video ministry project and asks for prayer for endurance. Additionally, they are getting ready to start two new outreaches for kids that will be focused on getting deeper in God's word.
