Important May News

Dear Friends of Mission Surge,

I wanted to send you this email in order to ask you to please pray for the following present needs.

First, please pray for our partners ECCI and Coram Deo as they work together in Italy later this month.  Pastor Jerry will be leaving in weeks and is still $1000 short of his budget.  If you are impressed to help with this need, please do so as soon as possible.  Learn more and/or give here:  http://www.missionsurge.com/ecci-1-1

Next, I want to ask you to pray for me, and two others, as we travel to Asia in June to teach house church leaders and pastors there.  It is going to be a busy and intense trip and we covet your prayers for our efforts there.

Then, I want to remind you of the opportunity to support a partner in the Dominican Republic monthly.  If you, your Sunday school class, or church would like to partner with this faithful pastor, I would love to hear from you.  He needs approximately $800 a month to support his family and work.  There would also be opportunity to travel to the DR and work alongside him. If this interests you, your small group, or church please let me know.

Finally, I mentioned recently the need of a Pakistani Christian family I have encountered.  The family fled Pakistan and moved to Malaysia in hopes of being granted Asylum. They have been denied and are now stuck in Malaysia with expired visas.  They must pay a fine and return to Pakistan by the end of this month.  It will cost roughly $2700 to meet their needs.  Let me know if you are interested.  

P.S.  Mission Surge will be setting up a booth at the Mississippi Home Educators Association at MSU in Starkville later this month, as well as at the International FIRE Conference in Atlanta, GA.  Please pray that God would connect us to many during these two opportunities.  Many many things are developing in our work and the needs and opportunities continue to grow.  Your prayers are more important than you realize.  Please, please pray for the work of Mission Surge as often as you will!

In Christ,
