ANSWERED PRAYERS
--we are seeing great things happen at both churches with members taking witnessing serious; also seeing people brought in by God; this past Sunday at Zoar, a mother, son came in and they was on their way to another church but as they past the church, the son said, ‘Stop mom, go back to that church. That is where we are supposed to be.’ Divine moments;
--seeing 5 other pastors crying, laboring for God’s Presence to come down on us;
--continue to see God’s answer to our financial needs and provvisions;
--safety out and back from Phoenix with Elizabeth; Chip and Joshua safe and sound from Europe; heard last night of man that also went to Europe and was pick pocketed, God watched over and delivered chip and Joshua during their days for protection; Praise Your Holy Name , You are so faithful Lord
Thank you for praying for me. May our prayers together continue to ‘enlarge our coasts’ of His kingdom here on earth to the 4 corners of the earth. There is many things to bring up before Him. Many faces, names, circumstances, lostness, continue to pray that the Spirit of prayer would continue to hold me and lead me deeper for His service of intercession. How blest we are to know Him and be known of Him!
Until,
Dan Biser
