My life has been a whirl since Wednesday. You may remember me writing about my friend and mentor, Roscoe Brewer. Roscoe spoke in our services the last Sunday of June. He is founder of Epic International, dedicated to reaching a handful of strategic, unreached people groups. He has asked us to consider leading a coalition of churches from both the United States and Latin America to reach a significant and very needy group of people who have no homeland and live in a number of different countries. I am not at liberty to give many more details at this time, but I will say that this is something that is laying heavy on my heart. Pastors Tim and Jay met with us and we are all convinced this this is a “God thing.”

Today, Cheryl and I drove to Olathe Bible Church where Roscoe is in a meeting of another coalition of churches that are dedicated to reaching a different group of people. Olathe Bible has led this effort for several years and it was good to hear some great testimonies of what God is doing among this particular group of people. It was also sobering to hear of the very serious persecution that is taking place in an area where many of these particular people live. Many believers there have been beaten, raped and killed. Others have lost everything. We were all reminded that martyrdom is still a very present reality today, just as it was in the early centuries of the church.

Though I can’t provide you with many details in a digital, cyber format for security reasons, please pray with me that God would give us wisdom about this very important project that would come to pass in the first quarter of next year. Pray that God would put together just the right mix of churches to make this possible.
