Dear A.C.T.S. Action Prayer Warriors,
"Rejoice in the Lord alway." Philippians 4:4a (KJV)
We have journeyed to the northernmost point in our Outreach Tour 2013 from Canberra, A.C.T. to Townsville, QLD by the seaside and inland routes. Tomorrow we are departing Charters Towers, QLD as we head our car south on the Outback Evangelism Trail to Blackwater and Woorimbinda, QLD back to our home/office in Tweed Heads, N.S.W. We most appreciate your keeping on asking God for His continued grace, mercy and forgiveness on everyone within a 100 mile radius of our Tour.
Please rejoice with us that God:
- Brought a gifted and unified leadership team together to serve Indigenous Youth from Bowen to Mareeba, QLD under the direction of Pastors Ada Boland and Wesley Stubbings to the Townsville Indigenous Youth Leadership Conference last weekend.
- 120 were in attendance on the first night, and over 20 responded to God's saving grace...including a very shy 12 year old Michael Keith Brown who made a heartfelt first time response to God's saving grace.
- Fred received warm responses to his sharing of "Action Prayer: A Brand New Way" at Townsville Community Church and Charter Towers Church of Christ/Baptist.
- Will continue to bless the work of our Volunteer Evangelist, Dawn Clay Obst and her husband, Mel, during their weekly A.C.T.S. Action Prayer Meetings and outreach to three indigenous communities on a monthly basis reaching new children and adults for the Lord.
- Will provide encouragement and support for A.C.T.S. Volunteer Evangelist, Carl Musch and his daughter, Hope, who is very much involved in the ministry and brought 5 other people to the Indigenous Youth Conference.
- Will provide healing for A.C.T.S. Volunteer Evangelist, Dennis Jerrard, to his ear and teeth infections and Pastor John Tonga, recuperating from a stroke.
- Will provide finances and support for the A.C.T.S. Volunteer Evangelist, Lois Johnson, who will be traveling to the Murri Baptist Church, Dinmore, QLD to be a speaker, at the Indigenous Women's Conference 2013 with the leadership of Pastor Diane, Pat Morgan, and Conference Sponsor Pastor Ada Boland 049911 7346. Conference runs from Friday 26th July, 6:30 pm to Sunday 28th July with a 5:30 pm night rally.
Please pray that God will provide:
- Continued care for all new Christians, especially teachers and friends for the young.
- A.C.T.S. with the help and resources to enable an expanding group of Volunteer Evangelists to further their outreach.
- Pastor Ada Boland's need for an administrator to help to coordinate her ministries.
- Pastor Shea and Leonie Taylor with Christ like love each person they care for and comfort them by His presence during a period of loss.
- Comfort and strength to Pastor Carol Major as she conducts bi-weekly services while she is in deep sorrow over the tragic loss of her son.
- 100% response to each person that attends the "Jesus for Children" movie night coordinated by Pastor Carol Major on Friday, 12 July.
in His love and care,
Fred and Carol Schaeffer
