Weekly Global Media Outreach Prayer Letter

Button - Scripture

“But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.” Micah 7:7

Button - The People

Please pray for the people of Japan. Japan is a very prosperous and materialistic country, but many people are searching for God. Please pray that our new Japanese website www.Jesus2020.jp will bring many people in Japan to Christ and that they will respond and contact our volunteers.

Button - The Power Of Internet

Josh McDowell talks about how he discovered the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Click here and you can read — or listen — to learn about how Jesus rose from the dead.

You can have hope for the future because of Jesus Christ.

What is hope? Hope is the confident expectation that something good will happen. What is this good thing? As Christians, we can confidently hope for the following things:

  1. The hope of heaven — we know that because we have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord we will spend eternity in heaven
  2. The hope of God’s love — we know that in everything in life God will be with us and care for us
  3. The hope of a better tomorrow — we know that God has the potential to bring good things to and through our lives

Without God, we do not have the hope of heaven or of God’s love and presence; and good things may or may not happen. But as Christians we know that God will cause all things to work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His will.

We can’t control every event in life, but we can entrust ourselves to the most powerful and loving being in the universe, knowing that the future will only be better for all eternity and that good things can still come in this life.

So this week, let us pray for

  • Funding so we can share Christ’s love with people every day
  • Our staff at Global Media Outreach to be filled with God's hope and joy
  • The many hurting people around the world — that they will know the hope that comes from Jesus Christ

THANK YOU so much for your prayers. Someday we hope to meet in heaven in person — and then you will know the impact your prayers have had in reaching the world for Jesus Christ.

May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach

Button - Responses

This is an actual response received at one of our Web sites:

"I think for the first time I finally have peace. I have always carried guilt from the past and never really understood I didn’t have to do that. I would leave it and go back and pick it up which brought me in deep depression. Thanks be to God for his mercy and grace and only the peace that can come from him and him alone." US
