November 1 Missions Gathering

Frank shared from 1 Peter 5. There are many things that have yet to be done that Christians have not completed. However, they must be done in humility. The Lord said let the tares and the wheat grow together. They will be separated at the harvest. At harvest time the way you can tell the wheat from the tares is that the wheat begins to bend over. This is humility!

There was also discussion of evil connections between modern liberalism and water gods & goddesses. The greatest concentration of liberalism seems to be in places with lots of water such as the east coast, west coast, and the great lakes area. It seems that Obamas grandmother also dedicated him to a water god in a river in Kenya.

Sean Cole also was with us and shared what the Lord has been doing in his life lately. He said he has been impressed more than ever that we are in a spiritual battle, and some of these battles can be won by prayer only. John 9:4 has also been speaking to him about working while there is time. He has a real sense of urgency. At the same time he is waiting on the Lord, focusing on prayer and ministering to those God puts in his life. His relationship with his girl friend has been
put on hold right now.

With regard to his future, he is waiting upon the Lord. He does not sense the Lord's leading to go back to Egypt right now. However, He does sense a calling to minister to Muslims. He attended a conference at 1st Covenant Church on outreach to Muslims here in the US. The group he is looking at is called "The Crescent Project". He also shared how he had the privilege to lead a man to the Lord recently at a church retreat.

He also asked us to continue to pray for Egypt. There is a shift going on in the leadership of OM Egypt. Some hurt feelings are involved. Severin, one of his team mates while there is also back in the US and looking for the Lords leading also. Victor, another team member is still working there and needs our prayers.
