Grace Prayer Bulletin # 67
August 1,1999

And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance. (Exodus 34:9, KJV)

Special Request
There is need in many lands for good sound material in different languages. There are some of you in different parts of the world ministering to different language groups. I would like to put together a list of different languages of those who speak, write and preach, etc. different languages. I would be happy to assist by this list and even open separate folders for those who speak for example Spanish, French, Chinese, or different Philippino languages, etc. I have received something on rare occasions received emails in Spanish, fortunately one on the list was gracious enough to decipher it for me. In the future there will be opportunity to send out Grace Letters in different languages as some may be willing to assist on this. The
opportunity for others to assist in this would include those who may speak a language, but have left their native land and could effectively via email translate lessons for Missionaries and thus bear fruit around the world in their native language. I would encourage you to forward this idea to any that fit this description. Much to my shame I only know English. But if some would be willing to translate we could reach into a larger community of Reformed Baptist. There will, I believe, be a larger community growing in the doctrines of grace throughout the world. I hope you will be a part of this and not think you cannot further the gospel of Christ where you are, and allow God to use you effectively around the world. I would like to have the name of the person that speaks the language, where they are from (Church, address, email, Phone number, web page, etc.)
Contact me with this information.
Thanks,

4. To conduct the necessary research for targeting strategic areas of the nation for church planting.
5. To promote among member churches the necessary vision for that "pioneer spirit" in order to break new ground in church planting.
6. To urge member Reformed Baptist churches to prayerfully consider sending men to plant new churches.
7. To have the Institute of Reformed Baptist Studies develop a special class within the curriculum on church planting, and urge the students to begin praying about the possibility of beginning a new work while still in
school.
