Preaching The Gospel In Myanmar

This . . .
.
Super Glue.
Remember the ad on TV where the strongman has a chain around him which is connected to a semi-truck with Super Glue? Then the strongman slowly tugs on the chain til the semi starts to move.
That's some incredible glue!
.
My mom's fish tank has a small ceramic sign that says "No Fishing". She dropped it and it broke in half. I thought, no problem I'll super glue it. And so I did, and it seemed as strong as new.
I put it back in the tank and it did fine til a Neon fish about 3/4 of an inch long ran into it and snapped it back in two.
I should say as well that my index finger is still glued to the top half of the sign.
.
That . . .

.
The country of Myanmar has a population of 55,390,000
They were hit by a cyclone in May of this year.
The cyclone left 130,000 dead and two million homeless.
Myanmar is 89% Buddhist and generally not open to the gospel
The government has invited a group from the International House Of Prayer to come share the gospel. THAT IS A MIRACLE.
My daughter Tarah needs $3,000 by the end of November. That will be a miracle too.

Daniel and Levi Lim are also prayer missionaries at IHOP.

.
That is That . . .
Tarah is going to Myanmar Dec. 7 thru Dec. 22 with seventeen other missionaries from the International House Of Prayer to preach the gospel!
It is an amazing story how God has opened up this opportunity in a country generally closed and hostile toward the gospel.
.
"They (The Myanmar Government) are inviting us to the northern mountain area of Myanmar, an area not previously open to outsiders. The government wants to be our escort and protection as we hold open air meetings and preach Jesus, who is Immanuel, God with us!"
.
That is amazing! The government knows they are coming and are in support. WOW!
Tarah needs your prayers and financial support.
To find out more, please e-mail her at

I am an intercessory missionary giving myself in the midst of my weakness to prayer, study of the word, discipling, serving, etc. in order that I might be an authentic and powerful witness to the Lord Jesus.
There is a crack in the door of the nation of Myanmar - an answer to prayer. Please pray with me that the Lord would fling it wide open. I believe it is his intention to do so.
Tarah.
