Dear Friends and Family:
What must have been going through Joshua’s mind when Moses announced that he would not lead the people of Israel into Canaan at the end of the book of Deuteronomy? While Joshua had seen all of God’s miracles in Israel’s exodus from Egypt and subsequent desert wanderings, fear and doubt must have certainly been present. Why? Moses’ final words to Joshua were aimed at strengthening his resolve: “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land . . . the Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave or forsake you” (Josh 31:7-8). These words are a great comfort for those involved in mission, whether in North America or around the world. The Lord and his Holy Spirit go before us! That’s a good reason to be strong and courageous.
Please pray for:
1. Safety and success as Zach will be going to Iowa and California to meet CRC leaders, mission workers, and donors.
2. Spiritual resilience for missionaries, church planters, campus ministers and community chaplains that partner with Resonate. Spiritual forces of the Enemy seem to align themselves against Gospel workers.
3. Peace and stability in many countries where Resonate works throughout Latin America and Africa. Haiti has especially seen instability in February.
4. Resonate has entered into a season of evaluation and reflection. Pray that we will listen to the Spirit’s voice.
Please give thanks for:
1. Safe travel to Lithuania and Germany in February. Take a look at our blog to see some powerful stories of what God is doing through Resonate missionaries in these countries.
2. In January, Zach led a retreat for Resonate’s Leadership Team. It is a blessing to have colleagues that are passionate about Jesus and his mission to the world.
3. Fun celebrating Sharon’s birthday with neighbors and friends in February.
Thanks for your prayers and support,
Zachary, Sharon, Hannah, Vivian, Isaiah and Esther Segaar-King
