Friends and Family, 5/30/2014
Wow...These past weeks have been incredibly challenging and God has really been pushing me on and pressing me forward to become the man that He has created me to be. To never settle to what is comfortable is what it has mainly looked like. To give every area of my life and of my being to Him. To walk out in my authority as a leader, speaker, and in proclaiming who God is! And now every bit of my preparations have come down to this moment, this moment that God has designed for His team to go to Brazil.
We will leave on Saturday the 31 of May at 10:00 am, we will land in Brazil on the 1st of June. For the first 2 weeks we will be in Sao Paulo, then in Rio de Janero for 3 weeks and finally in a place called Vitoria where we will be for 4 weeks. In our time there we will be doing many different ministries with the World Cup, things such as evangelism, practically doing hands on things, preaching in churches, working with teens and children...there will be many other ministries that we will be a part of while we are there. So with that we will be in Brazil for about 9 weeks total! We are very expectant for God to move and to be making massive impacts on the people there while we are being His hands and feet and shining His love to everyone we come into contact with!
PLEASE PRAY!
1.) Pray for Me, Lauren, Dylan, Patrick, Rafael, and Peter to be as one unit run fully by God that our unity would be both undeniable and unbreakable.
2.) Unity in the country of Brazil, no uprisings or riots, just pray for a complete sheet of Gods blessing to be over the nations safety in this time of the World Cup.
3.) Health in the team.
4.) For strength and perseverance.
5.) And that we would be able to portray exactly who God is to everybody in which we come into contact with.
6.) A supernatural boldness to step out.
Thank You so much for your support in the prayer of our team, it is so crucial to the way that things will be. Prayer is a powerhouse!!! Titus 3:1-8 are the verses that were given to our team to be run by and based off of in Gods Word...
Be Ready for Every Good Work
3 Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.
Again thank YOU!
Sincerely, Michael Gregory Norris
