For friends in the Portland/Vancouver...

For friends in the Portland/Vancouver region, we look forward to Worship at the River this Sunday evening at 6 p.m. at the Sam Cox Community building in Troutdale, Oregon.  We normally gather on each second Sunday evening of the month, but just this month we are meeting on the third Sunday (September 20).  I look forward to sharing what the Lord accomplished over these two weeks in Mongolia, we will explore the Lord's design for the Feast of Tabernacles, celebrate communion, and worship!

Recently, someone recorded the words to a spontaneous song during our worship:

Something stirring, we
will wait on the Lord ~

For His direction, His
Holy leading.

This is the season of
new things, new rhythms, new blending, new combinations.

It will not sound like
anything before; it is a new resonance.

We desire to know You, to discern, to know Your heart.

Would it be enough to
play a chord

To worship in one
accord?


Let go of the stuff, grow in Christ, be a new creation.

God is releasing something new in us.


He is asking us do
something we have never done before.

New songs, new rhythms, new words, in each one of us ~

Visions given to little ones ~

Artistic expressions
display the Glory of the Lord ~

Songs of the Lord,
sung in each of us ~



Blessings,

Darrell

Pacificministries Final Mongolia Worship at the River this Sunday

Dear Friends,


For friends in the Portland/Vancouver region, we look forward to Worship at the River this Sunday evening at 6 p.m. at the Sam Cox Community building in Troutdale, Oregon.  We normally gather on each second Sunday evening of the month, but just this month we are meeting on the third Sunday (September 20).  I look forward to sharing what the Lord accomplished over these two weeks, and we will also explore the Lord's design for Feast of Tabernacle's and celebrate Him!

It's been nearly 48 hours since I returned from nearly 2 weeks in Mongolia and Korea.  I'm especially grateful for those who prayed for Paul and I.

Imagine you were literally living the book of Acts, some 20 years after the resurrection of Jesus.  

The church was young, vibrant, and wrestling with questions regarding the influence of Judaism, relationships, grace versus works, and Paul and other apostolic leader's were addressing these issues in the letters to the believers.  This describes the Mongolian church today.  Less than 20 years ago, the church multiplied rapidly with many signs and wonders.  Now, the leaders are not crying out for more teachers, but for spiritual fathers... covenant relationships, and friends.
























My friend Paul summarized the message we brought in a recent e-mail to one of these leaders:

-Isaiah 60  :"Arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord is rising upon you.  Nations will come to the brightness of your dawn...
-we believe us being here is part of this prophecy.   We have come as the nations because God is bringing us.
-we believe it is time for Mongolia to arise
 
-We had a song  "All of creation is longing...'  we feel the earth is longing for the sons of God to be revealed in Mongolia  (Romans 8:19)
-we believe the sons of God will bring a healing to the earth.
-we believe your arising is crutial to us in the west and God is going to use  Mongolia to help the earth come to some form of healing
-(Darrell here)  I spoke today in a church and had a vision of the square once pronouncing independence and freedom in 1990 will one day be filled with kingdom warrior/lovers in high 
praise.
-We believe God is raising up men and women of God with a kingly authority over the earth from Mongolia.  These are Khans who will have a deep relationship with God and carry a supernatural authority given by God.
-This is God's choosing.  God has picked Mongolia for this time.  Though she has been in almost hidden from the world and has gone through much difficulty now it the time God is showing His glory through you.  Luke 1:28  "Greeting you who are highly favored!  The Lord is with you.  Luke1:30  "Mongolia you have found favor with God".  and Mary's responds in the scirpture is how God wants Mongolia to respond  Luke 1:38  "I am the Lord's servant may it be to me as you have said".  This is God's choosing for Mongolia at this time.


Finally, you'll notice a picture of a tombstone in the Korean Cemetery where many of the Korean martyrs and early missionaries are buried.  In our visit to the border of North Korea
 before we returned , we visited this sacred ground, and as I stood before this tombstone of an early missionary whose life was summarized in 4 words: Seer, Builder, Peacemaker, and Friend.  

These values mirror mine.

Bless you, and will look forward to worship this Sunday evening.

Pacificministries Mongolian Update #2

 

Dear Friends,
Paul and I have been in Mongolia for two days now, and we have had an extraordinary series of divine encounters with emerging young leaders of the church. Together with seven others representing five nations, we have participated in the inauguration of a new Bible University established to training and release indigenous church leaders.
In the less than 20 years Christianity has flourished in this nation, many leaders agree that from 1993 through 2003 signs and wonders and evangelism exploded in this nation. Many churches were planted and young men and women in their 20s were given the responsibility of leading the movement. In many ways, the church in Mongolia represented the Book of Acts as many miraculous events took place. But today, as we met with these leaders now in their mid-30s, their heart’s cry is for spiritual fathers and mothers to mentor them... to come alongside them and simply love and encourage them. Our hearts were deeply moved as they described this passion for relationships as well as their need for maturity in their leadership and churches.
We believe that Mongolia has a prophetic destiny as a warrior nation, but whose battle is not with flesh and blood but is a spiritual war. The Mongolians are passionate about three things: horsemanship, wrestling, and archery. Over eight hundred years ago Genghis Khan conquered much of the known world and created a union larger than the Roman empire. We believe this isolated and obscure nation is being prepared for a God's kingdom expansion.
I've like to invite you to pray specifically for a four-year-old Mongolian boy who lost an eye through a tumor and now is facing the identical problem in his remaining eye. Yesterday, we surround this family and prayed for healing and strength as they face a 30 hour train ride to Beijing for three months of treatment. Churches in Hong Kong are supporting this family and will from finance the cost for the operation. As we prayed for this young boy, there was a sense Holy Spirit that we needed to alert and ask for intercessors from many nations to believe with us for a miraculous recovery.
This Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Paul and I will participate in a worship and prophetic conference where they expect several hundred pastors and leaders from this nation to participate. As we walk the streets the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, the we see the effects of decades of Russian Communist oppression with crumbling buildings, unfinished apartments, and alcoholism rampant. The economic situation is desperate for many, and it is said that many Mongolians face deep financial challenges. But this is a great time for the Mongolian church to Rise and Shine!
Thank you for your continued prayers for these upcoming meetings.



Darrell and Paul
