Dear Friends and Family,
I hope you have had a great holiday season, and I pray that this New Year will be filled with the blessings of the Lord. This was an amazing year for me. I want to thank you for your support in 2009, both financially and in prayer. I am so thankful that the Lord has provided family for us, as we follow after Him together.
As many of you know, this year I have been attending the International House of Prayer University as a full-time Bible student, and it has been a wonderful experience for me. An important part of this training has been living the life of an “Intercessory Missionary,” spending 24-30 hours a week in the IHOP prayer room, interceding for the Church locally, nationally and internationally. As a student, I have also had some great opportunities to participate in weekly outreaches to the community, and mission trips to various churches around the mid-west.
In recent news, I felt led by the Lord to join the “Night Watch”! That means that I have decided to spend my time in the prayer room from midnight to 6am, 5 nights a week. It has been a powerful experience for me to stand before the Lord each night as a missionary: praying and fasting for the nations. The Night Watch has deeply impacted my heart and I plan on continuing this ministry of praying through the night as long as I possibly can!
As some of you may know, as a full-time student and Intercessory Missionary, I am in need of financial support. The Lord has put it on my heart to pray for a team of partners who would regularly join me in prayer and giving. I am asking the Lord for a team of 12 partners that would sow $50/month or more for 6 months, as well as pray for the provision and the will of God for my life. Will you prayerfully consider joining me in this ministry?
Thank you for partnering with me as I seek to follow Jesus in the purpose and plan He has for my life. You play an important role on my journey in Christ!
The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make His face to shine upon you
and be gracious unto you;
the Lord lift up His countenance upon you
and give you peace.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.
Blessings in 2010!!!
Love,
Leo Alves
