During the past year something quite amazing has been happening...
It's difficult to explain, but I want to try... it seems the LORD is calling people specifically to join us (Mike and me and our team) in His plan for reaching the unreached of Asia. He seems to be touching people's hearts in specific ways to join in His work. Let me explain...
Several have resigned from previously successful ministries to join the team--even one moving his family half-way across the US with not much confirmed about the work except God's very clear calling. Some individuals have started to send funds for specific projects as the LORD burdened them. One church was deeply moved to send funds before a project even got started so that the day we committed to it, to our surprise the designated funds had already arrived! Amazing!
People in the states have felt led to assist in the upkeep and care of the orphans in 2 countries. A group of men has offered to build the 1034 meter security wall needed desperately in Cambodia. One person wrote to say that she is organizing other ladies to meet the future needs of the orphans-health, education, etc. and another is preparing for the new ones God will bring to us!
People in Singapore have surrendered jobs and previous aspirations to chart a new course of life! Some have dedicated their annual leave to join the Campus Evangelistic Crusade in the Philippines-this year we are asking the LORD for 40k! And much more...
Now, with approval from one of the highest human authorities in a particular land, a huge new opportunity and step of faith in a new RAN (restricted access nation) requires 20 workers (5 have to be there by August to keep the door open.) We need people who are will to be English teachers to come IMMEDIATELY. They only need $500 a month to live and work in a previouly closed location. A family wrote to say they can't go, but as a family they want to sponsor one teacher for one month! Wow! I was thinking a Sunday School class could sponsor a teacher for a month to take the message where we have been pleading for an open door for years!
Now, who wants to go? Even if you have never thought about it before, please take a minute to pray and spread the news. No details will be given unless you are definitely considering coming (this is an extremely delicate and confidential situation, please be wise.)
If the LORD has been leading you to join us or if you have the heart to be a part of what He is doing in and through us, even if you can't go to another country, please write to us... there is much to do from where you are and if the LORD has burdened you... let's do it together for HIM!
With Great Hope and Expectation,
Mike & Lisa Redick
