Weekly Global Media Outreach Prayer Letter

Button - Scripture

“...Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning.” Psalms 30:5

Button - The People

Please pray for the people of India, which has over 1 billion people living there. There has been persecution of Christians recently in some areas; please pray that the love of God will fill all peoples there and that as many people as possible will come to know the great love of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

You can click here at the newly redesigned www.iChristianLife.com to watch a great series of one minute videos by Dorman Followwill about every book of the Bible. Do you want to know a short summary of what each of the 66 books of the Bible teaches? This starts at the Old Testament; you can skip ahead and go to the New Testament if you want to learn about the New Testament books.

Joy in the Midst of Sorrow. How can you have joy in the midst of sorrow? The best example of this in history is Jesus Christ rising from the dead almost 2,000 years ago.

The disciples, the followers of Jesus, were overcome with sorrow. Jesus had just been crucified and placed in a tomb. The disciples did not fully understand yet that Jesus would rise from the dead, so they thought that death had won.

But on the third day, Jesus rose from the dead! “Death where is your victory.” Jesus Christ had conquered sin, and death, and hell. He rose victorious — and granted us the gift of eternal life to all who would believe in Him.

What is your greatest trial, or test, or sorrow? Can you believe that, even out of death and disaster, God can bring good? When the disciples traveled with Jesus and were in a storm in their boat and thought that they would die, Jesus rebuked the wind and waves and it became calm — and He said to them, “Where is your faith?”

Let us place our faith in Jesus Christ — who can bring life from death, resurrection from a tomb, health out of disaster. God’s power is greater than all the adversaries in the universe — and He is our loving and kind heavenly Father!

So this week, let us pray that

  • God will help you see good and find joy even if you have great sorrow and tragedy in your life
  • God will bring His peace and happiness and joy into the lives of our staff team at Global Media Outreach
  • God will help us see more than 10,000 people each day indicate decisions for Jesus Christ through our websites

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!! Only in heaven will you truly know how much your prayers have contributed in giving the good news of Jesus Christ to the world.

May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach

Global Media Outreach has just launched free internet radio — www.iChristianLifeRadio.com. This radio station, available by clicking onliine, has worship music and short teachings 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can listen anytime. Our prayer is that www.iChristianLifeRadio.com will help you grow in your Christian life. It can also help you worship God as you listen to inspirational Christian music.

“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.” What is worship? It is telling God you love Him. You can do this in song; you can do this in talking to God; you can do this when you are driving; you can do this in church.

Our first command is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our mind, with all our heart, and with all our strength. A great way to do this is to use music to express our love to God.

We can thank God for all that He has done for us — and we can praise Him for who He is. Praise Him for creating the world; Praise Him for His love, and His mercy, and His goodness.

Finally, When you listen to Christian worship music, you can sing quietly along in your hearts. Listen to the words; and let your thoughts go to God and how wonderful He is!

So this week, let us pray and

  • Thank God for all He has done for you!
  • Tell God how much you love Him
  • Pray for God’s peace and joy to fill the hearts of all of our staff here at Global Media Outreach

Someday in heaven we will all be worshipping and praising God together. What a wonderful day that will be — we can all see our King face to face. Thank you so much for your faithful prayers.

May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12

Button - The People

Please pray for the people of the United States, that God will lead them and guide them as they have elections this week.

Jesus Christ is the light of the world. What does this mean?

Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Jesus Christ shines light into our lives. Just as sunlight brightens up the day with warm colors, so Jesus brings joy and love and peace into our lives. Just as sunlight reveals things, so Jesus in His love reveals things so we can see clearly from God’s perspective what is true in our lives.

Just as light dispels darkness, so Jesus causes the dark things in our lives to flee. Someday in heaven, Jesus will be our true light. The Bible says heaven will “not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.”

Finally, Jesus Christ is the light of the world because He, and He alone, is the true source of all that is good and righteous and holy in the world. God alone is the source of all that is good. If you have the light of Jesus shining in your life, then let that light bring joy, and truth, and healing, and revelation to you — and let that light shine into all the world around you! God wants us to be a clear windowpane so the light of Jesus shines through us to others.

So this week, can you please pray for

  • The light of Jesus to shine through your life to at least one other person this week — and then email us and tell us about it!
  • The light of Jesus to bring health and joy and healing in the lives of all our Global Media Outreach staff
  • The light of Jesus to shine through all our websites so that millions of people will come to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your prayers. Only in heaven will you truly know how much your prayers have helped us at Global Media Outreach and how your prayers have touched the heart of God. God loves you so much! He loves to spend time with you.

May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach

Please pray for the people of Nigeria. Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, with 140 million people; its motto is "Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress." This is a great slogan to have. Please pray that the people of Nigeria will all come to faith in Christ and that the country will be united and that all Nigerians will enjoy and experience peace and progress.

You can click here to hear the late Dr. Bill Bright talk about "spiritual breathing". This simple concept can revolutionize the way you look at your Christian life.

Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God. What does this mean?

When John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward Him he said "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" All of us have sinned -- we have done or thought many things that are wrong, and our sins deserve judgment. In ancient times in Israel, the priest would sacrifice a lamb for the sins of the people. The problem is that no sacrifice of a lamb can ever take away permanently people's sins.

So Jesus came to this earth and willingly gave Himself as a sacrifice to pay for our sins. He lived a perfect life and did not deserve judgment. We have lived sinful lives and deserve to be judged. But Jesus went to the cross -- He endured pain and humiliation and agony for us -- so that we might go to heaven and not be judged.

How great is God's love and mercy! "To all who received Him, tho those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God."

So this week, could you please pray that

  • People all over the world will come to know Jesus Christ who sacrificed His life so that they might live
  • God would give us partners so we could see even more people accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord
  • God would fill our staff team with His Holy Spirit and His joy and His peace

And for you, my prayer is that God will bless you and fill you with the knowledge of His love and joy and peace in Jesus Christ our Lord.

THANK YOU so much for your prayers. May God bless you,

Please pray for the people of Pakistan. There is much unrest in the country; please pray for God's peace to come and for many people to come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

The Bible is the Word of God. Just as you need food each day to do well and survive, so you need God's Word each day to grow strong as a Christian. You can click here to read God's Word online. You can search for verses or just read a chapter of the Bible anytime you wish.

Do not hurry. Sometimes we rush and hurry through life -- always trying to get quickly to the next place.

When Jesus Christ was here on this earth, He did not hurry. Even though He was the Son of God and had so much good to do for the world, He took time to spend with people. Once a woman who had been bleeding for years came up to Him and touched His clothing and was healed. Even though He was going somewhere else, He stopped and looked for her and spoke and ministered to her. He could have said "I am too busy and important and in such a hurry" -- but He slowed down and took time.

So you and I can slow down and take time to listen to Jesus. Once I was in a hurry to go somewhere and did not stop and help my neighbor who needed help moving something. If I were really listening to Jesus, I think I should have stopped and slowed down and helped my neighbor, then gone on my way.

These next few days, let us slow down a little bit and listen to God. Ask Christ how He would have you love someone around you. Spend some time with God; He is your heavenly Father and loves to spend time with you as His child.

This week, can I suggest that we pray

  • That each of us will slow down and spend time with God and love one another
  • That God will help our staff team at Global Media Outreach be filled with God's Holy Spirit and peace
  • That God would help us present the good news of Jesus Christ to a million people in the next 3 weeks

THANK YOU so much for your prayers. God has promised to hear and answer prayer. "Call upon Me in the day of trouble, and I will answer you." All of us at Global Media Outreach really need your prayers. We love and appreciate you.

May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach

Please pray for God’s mercy to fall on all the many people in the world who could be severely hurt by the current financial problems in the world.

At www.iChristianLife.com you will find resources to help you grow in your Christian Life. One of these many resources is a short video by Joyce Bartholomew talking about how to have victory in Jesus over fear and worry. You can click here

to watch this inspiring video.

Jesus Christ is our secure hope even in times of trouble.

All around the world there are economic troubles these days. There are “storms” that could sink the boat we are riding in. Our natural reaction is to be afraid.

Jesus and His disciples were once in a situation much like this. “One day Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.’ So they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, He fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. The disciples went and woke Him, saying, ‘Master, Master, we’re going to drown!’ He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.

Sometimes Jesus calms the storm outside our lives. Sometimes the storm may still rage outside, but He can still give us His peace in our hearts. So let us let Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, reign as Lord in our hearts and lives always.

This week, let us pray for

  • God’s peace to fill all our hearts and lives — for you and your family, and for us here at Global Media Outreach
  • God to calm the storms in the world
  • God to bring many people to Himself in the midst of these storms

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your prayers. Jesus Christ is Lord! And He will win the victory.

May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach

Button - The People

Please pray for Christians around the world who are persecuted for being Christians. It is not right for anyone to be persecuted or beaten or killed for their religious beliefs. In India recently, there has been a strong outbreak of violence by some Hindu groups against Christians. Please pray that this violence will stop and that all people will love and respect others regardless of their religion.

Button - The Power Of Internet

At www.GotQuestions.org, there is a great website that has answers to thousands of questions that you might have about the Bible.

God says we as Christians are to be holy, even as He is holy.

How is this possible? We know that each of us are tempted to sin. What is easy is for us to judge other people’s sins — but unfortunately we can sometimes be blind to our own sin.

Maybe you have a problem with pride — maybe you look down on someone who drinks too much. What is important is not that we judge one another’s sins, but that we ask God to help us overcome our own sins and weaknesses by the power of His Holy Spirit.

Do you want to be holy? Then realize that just as you became a Christian by God’s love for you and Christ dying on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins, so you need God to live a godly Christian life. Just ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit.

Then, you might want to ask God to help you starting with just one area of your life. Pray and ask Him to reveal to you one area of sin in your life. It could be lying — or lust — or stealing — or greed. Don’t worry about your friend’s sins, just worry about yours. Then this coming week, ask God to help you not sin in that area by the power of His Holy Spirit. You may start small — but believe God great things can come as you yield your life to the power of His Holy Spirit.

So, this week, let us join together in praying

  • God will help you — and each of us — begin to overcome one area of sin in each of our lives
  • God will give people the vision to help Global Media Outreach see over 3 million people indicate decisions for Christ next year
  • God will help our staff at Global Media Outreach live Spirit-controlled lives each and every day

Some day we will meet in heaven — what a glorious day that will be! Until then, let us join together in doing the work of the Lord. He is worthy to receive all our praise and honor and glory! Thank you so much for your prayers.

May God bless you,
