Our ministry looks very promising this month…I am in love with Asia.  We have entered Socialist Vietnam which means that we aren’t allowed in the country as missionaries.  This will not keep my squad from taking Christian ownership in Vietnam. The Lord is preparing us to face spiritual warfare of every kind.  What is different about this month is that we will face this country as 32 united.  As we present the gospel, God is bringing each person into their roles.  The men on our team are stepping out in boldness.  They are leading in spiritual teaching and protection. The women are stepping out as discerning and prophetic prayer warriors.  We have seen worship manifest into a way of life in community. It is no longer just an act but a lifestyle. AMEN!

This next two weeks will include time spent with AIDS patients and
daily visitation with college students.  I pray that God bring about            “Kah-pon-kah” means thank you in Thai-even Ronald knows that
transformation within this squad that will spill over into Vietnam. I pray that while we walk in the authority that Christ gives us that these people will look at us and know that something is different. I hope it is contagious and leaves them wanting more.  I know that God has prepared hearts in this country that are ready to receive us. 
 
Melanie received this verse while in prayer for our squad

And it will be said:
“Build up, build up, prepare the road.
Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.”
For this is what the high and lofty One says, he who lives forever, whose name is holy:
“I live in a high and holy place but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, 
to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite. – Isaiah 57: 14&15
