So much changes when new Live Dead missionaries move overseas. There is, they say, …much learning of how to live, eat, and get around in our new big city plus an overhanging sense of being watched. We expect that everything we see and say on our internet connection may be monitored. Everything! Every email we […]
Region: Africa
Great concern
An East Africa Live Dead team member is asking for prayer: Approximately 50,000 are expected to attend a protest demonstration when M0sque dismisses on Friday. Until now, much of the chaos seen in the rest of the region has been limited here but there is great concern over what could occur at this event. Please […]
It’s been 15 years!
Breaking news from Live Dead missionary Scott Hanson: For the past 15 years we have not had anyone on the ground in one of our Live Dead target countries. It is one of the most unstable and dangerous countries in the world. There is no established church, only a handful of believers who daily face […]
Jungle foot paths
After 24 years as missionaries in Africa, God placed on our hearts a leading to leave our long-time ministry and lead a Live Dead team into the jungles to reach a people group of over 1 million who are unreached because of the difficulty getting to their villages. There are no roads to this area, […]
Slumber party through the shouting
If noises wake you in the night, pray for our Live Dead missionary families. Things have quieted down here. Our embassy sent home family and non-essential personnel but generally, things have stabilized. There is still a very strong police and military presence with rumors of possible demonstrations. The concern is not anti-American but anti-government protests. […]
Pray against fear
As you watch the news from the Middle East, pray Psalms 27 for our Live Dead missionaries: Although the media makes it seem much worse, the unrest and fighting is localized around the embassy. We live several miles from there and life continues as normal. We would not know anything, except for internet and TV. […]
Ambassadors of Chr!st
Let’s support our Live Dead ambassadors of Chr!st with fervent, steady prayer: We write to you today to let you know that we are well in the midst of the instability caused by the amateur video. We have seen protests and riots here where the leaders spoke about retaliation against all Americans. One spoke during […]
Dickering
“Dickering” is a well practiced art form in the African marketplace. Coming from the States where we don’t do it much and it may be uncomfortable (do you really enjoy buying used cars?) , our m’s must learn the art of negotiating in a second language in a different culture over costly deals. An East […]
Reach the teacher
Team work is an essential part of the Live Dead Initiative strategy and the children of Live Dead team members are an essential part of those teams. A team member parent wrote: Our children recently began learning the Arabic language two hours a day. Their teacher is a beautiful M*sl_m woman. Please pray that God […]
Spiritually Desolate
God has done incredible things the last 4 years in Tanzania: 2,000 new churches planted, 233,000 new believers, 25 church planting schools started, 5 m’y families sent to other countries. What an incredible privilege to be a small part of this great revival! God works in mysterious ways. He began to release our hearts from […]
