Thanks for praying!


Pray BFF#16 January 15, 2002


Dear Prayer Team,

Paul 's focus is on priorities and provisions as he oversees the operation of BFF this year. His desire is to discern and do God's good will.

Priorities
We need wisdom to discern how much time is needed for teaching, developing new material and involvement in church ministry. There are many things that could be done. The seminar has occuped a lot of development time through the fall and into the early winter. This could go on if Paul follows through on putting this seminar into movie format. Paul needs a clear sense of the Lord's priorities .

Provision
- We always desperately need wisdom and humilty for material development.
- For personal development, Paul's personal prayer theme for the year is 'the knowledge of God.'
- Then there is skill development. Each new area requires different computer programs and hardware. Wisdom for purchase decisions as well as quick development of skills.

Let me share with you one of several issues Paul is now facing. If we decided to go to movie format on the web, we would need to manage the ins and outs of having a web computer (dedicated server) to store the larger documents, a second phone line, special line costs, management of the system, etc.

We greatly value your prayers!


Thanks to God!

Requests to God
  • Praise God for the day Paul could "happen" to see a brother copying a seminar and through that figure out how to get the seminar onto his computer.
  • We are so thankful that all the needs for showing, recording and speaking the seminar have been supplied up to session #7.
  • Thanks that our whole family is better after a number of our family (almost all) were ill for 4-8 days. It was like a hospital ward!
  • Paul had opportunity to speak at a friend's engagement party on Ephesians 5.
  • Opportunities to counsel/mentor people have been increasing.
  • The last two days we have had over 170 page views a day.
  • Thankful that the series on 'Love not Lust' was finished barely on time. Would he finish before the ball dropped on New Year's Eve. Paul finished 1 hour before the uneventful time and could join the rest of his family!
  • The top three read categories are on overcoming lusts, worries and anger. Now may God actually free these people from these enslaving sins!
  • Pray for openings to teach the Overcoming Anxiety seminar.
  • Paul will be developing a series on "Truth not Lies" this month to encourrage and challenge men desiring to be godly.
  • The last seminar session was challenged by loud disturbing music nearby. May God give extra grace and attention as we face this in the next weeks ahead.
  • A sense of priority for time allocation is greatly needed for this year.
  • Pray for provision of wisdom, skills, blessing, equipment, as Paul steps into uncharted areas (for him) of putting the seminar into movie format (interweaving video, sound and slides).

Serving Together for the Glory of God,

Paul and Linda
