On November 9, I returned from a trip to the Middle East. It was a joy to be able to spend a week with one of our teams there as we worked with the local Field leadership to identify joint strategies for the coming years. We spent many hours in prayer each day, and by the end of the week I believe that significant progress had been made, both in identifying common strategies, and in building a deep sense of team spirit and trust.

Turning to Asia, in at least two locations, we are now actively piloting the “Miraculous Movements” Bible-study model. At our Central Thai and Tai Kadai Projects, new inductive study groups have already begun, and we are seeing momentum building. Please remember these pilot groups in your prayers, as we await the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon those who are reading, hearing and encountering the Living God for perhaps the first time! Please also keep the Pahari and Dendi Projects in your prayers as they bring their Miraculous Movements studies on line.
