Greetings in Christ as together we seek God’s heart, listen to His Word, and follow His direction for this new year of 2011!

The Messiah—I have mentioned before this very strategic film project that some Christian friends in Hollywood are currently working on. Here are some prayer concerns that they have sent for us:

1. That the Lord will give us wisdom and guidance as the leadership team continues to make decisions about the film and those who should be involved.
2. That God will help us finalize preparations for funding and that He would open up the necessary doors to fully fund the film.
3. That the Lord will prepare the hearts of those that are meant to be involved in The Messiah film.
4. To protect the film from those that would want to stop the message of the Gospel from going out. That God will protect all of those involved with the project and their families.
5. For God to bring divine appointments and introductions of key leaders, investors and influencers from around the world.
6. That the Lord will prepare the ground for The Messiah to reach the ends of the earth and for the hearts of people to be ready to hear the message of the Gospel.

May I ask you to please continue to pray for breakthrough in these ongoing concerns:

1. In the Mexican government’s war with the drug cartels and the political changes we long to see in the very oppressive state of North Korea. (For more information, click links in above index.)
2. For the national prayer event in Burma (Myanmar), January 12-14, that leaders will be able to take part from all over the nation and be inspired to pray unitedly and effectively for its freedom from oppression and transformation.
3. For the World Prayer Assembly prayer and planning retreat in Jakarta, Jan. 23-27, that a strong, united and well-coordinated team will jell and be able to work hard and well together to bring off this huge and complex event scheduled for May, 2012 (www.worldprayerassembly.com for more details).

Deep thanks in the Lord,
