Call to Prayer from Pastor Gary Morton

Lovers of the Harvest,

I’m sure that you have also been deeply moved by the prayer request from our Missionary to Kenya, Jeff Nelson. What an opportunity! To “reach” an “unreached” people group! To remove them from the list of the “unreached”!

Jesus said, in Matthew 24:14, “14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

I encourage an urgent, Network-wide intercessory mobilization. Our local fellowship at Anchorage First Assembly will begin this weekend to focus our prayer ministries fully on this great opportunity. Let’s all join the intercessory cries for 1500 Decisions for Christ - during the days of November 14-22, 2010!

The Joshua Project’s latest figures updates the population of the Rendille people to be around 60,000.

The Rendille occupy an area in Northeastern Province of Kenya from the Merille River and Serolivi in the South to Loyangalani in the North from Marsabit and Merti in the East to Lontolio in the West. The primary towns include Marsabet, Laisamis, Merille, Logologo, Loyangalani, Korr, Kamboi, Ngurunit, and Kargi.

Brother Nelson reports great advancement among the Rendille in recent evangelistic efforts. Jeff said. “I never expected that our largest church planting effort would be among an unreached people group.” Check out more about the ongoing victories among the Rendille.

What can we do?

1. Take time to dialogue with our Network family about your intercessory efforts on behalf of this great opportunity.

2. Post a comment here on our blog.

3. Make this request on your Facebook status. (Jeff Nelson’s current status is: Pray for a historic mission: the "unreached" Rendille People of Kenya becoming "reached". EAST Rendille Mission November 14-21, 2010. Goal at least 1500 decisions for Christ.)

4. Let’s start an “Alaska-sized” encouraging effort, sending notes and prayers to Jeff and Janelle Nelson.

The Harvest is ripe! The laborers are being mobilized, come on Intercessors! Let’s partner to bring this one in!

For the Harvest,

Gary Morton
