Dear World Racers & Leaders JANUARY 2012…
C SQUAD – D SQUAD – E SQUAD
I am writing to you IN LOVE to remind you that you are CALLED by God to:
Endure-persevere, be strong-take heart, ask-seek-knock-find, learn-grow, pray-read, speak-listen, trust-obey, wait-believe IN THE ONE TRUE LIVING GOD OF THE UNIVERSE.
You committed to serving the Kingdom of God when you said "YES" to Jesus Christ as your Lord & Savior; God has called you, equipped you, empowered you, and blessed you with an opportunity of a lifetime in 2012
What life has God called us to live as World Racers in 2012?
What should our Christian walk look like everyday in 2012?
What kind of Son or Daughter has God called us to become in 2012?
How will we glorify God and fulfill His purpose(s) in 2012?
How will we adjust to Cultures, Language Barriers, & Foreign Lifestyle in 2012?
Why would God call us to spend time with Him away from the USA in 2012?
These are some thoughts, concerns, anxieties, and rhetorical questions that might be running through a WR'ers head & heart on a daily basis, so We are asking that Father would lead USA PRAYER TEAMS to be praying daily for C-D-E squads during our first month on the Field. These are some things that F-G-H (July Squads 2012) and I-J-K-L (September Squads 2012) ought to consider in prayer for one another pre-launch!
Truth? Gods purposes didn't change for us in 2012…
What are God's purposes for all World Racers, All Americans, and All people on earth?
1) TO WALK THROUGH A DAY WITH HIM IN relationship & friendship.
2) TO SEE GOD AS HE TRUELY IS SO THAT WE MIGHT worship Him as He desires to be worshiped.
3) TO DRAW NEAR TO GOD & He will draw near to you to sanctify you in Word, Spirit, Truth.
4) THE RIGHTEOUS WILL walk by faith in His Sovereignty, Faithfulness, Gospel, Truth, Hope, & Love.
5) TO WITNESS/BELIEVE & pray for God's will to be done ON EARTH as it is in heaven.
6) TO LIVE FOR CHRIST IN BRINGING Him Glory & Honor & Praise & Thanksgiving.
A COMMON WR CHALLANGE SEEMS TO BE THE LANGUAGE BARRIER…
For those of you that don't speak the Native language of a Nation, be patient & focus on prayer...
God is speaking in the stillness, God is speaking in the smiles of children.
God is speaking through creation, both visible & invisible qualities are revealed in creation.
God is speaking through tears of the oppressed, God is moving in the hearts of the hopeless.
God is speaking of things in the Americas, God is speaking of things in the Bride.
God is speaking about the past, the present, & certainly He is speaking about what is to come.
It is true that we are changed (sanctified) when we see God for who He truly is, that we're changed when we come to know Him & learn His heart for matters of the Kingdom…

Did you launch last week with AIM? Are you preparing for launch in 2012?
Are you a Mom? Are you a daughter? Are you a pastor? Are you a teacher?
Are you ALIVE?
Might I encourage you ALL to waste your day away in PRAYER with God, coming into agreement with His will on earth, connecting with His heart, growing in the image of His Son, serving & loving the Bride of Christ, & walking in friendship with your Maker…
As long as Today is Today,Worship the Lord your God & serve Him only, Amen.
