FALLEN CHAINS 2 ~ PRICELESS

"Lord Jesus Christ we pray that You will grant to the people of this nation and all nations the will to do good, to flee from evil, and to practice all righteousness, making us respectful of life and sharers of Your blessings, caring for one another in mercy and truth.
Remove all evil from our hearts and wickedness from the laws of lands that allow human slavery and enable women and children to be trafficked. Give us the courage to be servants of Your holy will and performers of Your Love by what we do and not just what we say.”
Kindle in our hearts the will to care for the needy, to show kindness to the poor, to aid the homeless and help the helpless. As we have freely received your love and grace, help us to freely give to those in need. Amen.” from SHE IS PRICELESS

SHE IS PRICELESS has an excellent devotional available as a pdf...

For example, on Day 1... they share a story... then they have a STATISTIC to think on for the day:

"Every 2 minutes a child is being prepared for sexual exploitation"

SCRIPTURES to study: Psalm 43:1; Psalm 120:2; Psalm 144:11

PRAYER FOCUS: Pray that the Lord will close the eyes of the ones seeking vulnerable girls to traffic. Pray that the girl's eyes will be opened to the truth and that they would flee.

This is the part that I especially like to DRIVE THE POINT HOME PERSONALLY!!!

"Set an alarm to go off every two minutes. Say a prayer every time that alarm goes off for the little ones all around the world who are being prepared (set up for seduction) for exploitation.

Let the enormity of the situation and the frequencies of the alarms going off sink in. However, be careful to not get so overwhelmed that you shut your mind down.

INSTEAD ALLOW the INTENSITY to bring you to YOUR KNEES!"

Then they have an INVOLVE OTHERS & ACT!!!

This is so great but there are only 5 days given, but PRICELESS (the book) would be a good addition to your library or your church's library. It's time we open our eyes and really be JESUS & do something to STOP TRAFFICKING

How would you feel, if it were your sister, daughter, child?

IT COULD BE

or any

RUNAWAY

vulnerable!

God's children,

EVERY ONE

deserves more than this

for their life.

PRICELESS

each one.

Let's show them!

I also have a MISSION to PRAY so you can visit our team blog, THE LIGHTHOUSE of PRAYER over here

http://thelighthouseofprayer.blogspot.com/

Mission 4 Monday sadly ended last year as a meme, but I continue to share here and I know others also share various MISSIONS, especially the people above. Check them out!!! Encourage and perhaps join us.

Since my life is a MISSION, I share whenever I can. There are many of you, who do community involvement/church events, volunteer opportunities or know missionaries that you could share to motivate others. Motherhood and Homeschooling are MISSIONS and callings!!!

Each of these are MISSIONS and important to encourage others.

If you are doing something or share someone's MISSION on your blog, please leave your info in the comments anytime! Hopefully others will notice & come visit. THANKS!

Here's a current post she shared.

NO LONGER A MEME!

Blessings to ALL Readers & Participants!

It is with a heavy heart that I will no longer be hosting "memes"!

So Mission 4 Monday will still exist as my blog ONLY and I will NO longer be doing this as a "meme" for others to JOIN me and share!

I truly believe that each one that has participated shared GREAT MISSIONS!

MORE BELOW in my post "NO LONGER A MEME"

Thank you ALL for participating when you were able & sharing your mission & heart with us!

I still believe that each one of us "were made for a mission" and an opportunity crosses our path each week to serve others as a MISSION. Open your eyes & see the needs around us!

I still believe in the great value & worth of sharing MISSIONS!

I still believe that you do not have to be a missionary "sent out in the world" to be a missionary. Your home, your neighborhood, your community is filled with needs to be met with the passion & compassion of Jesus Christ. One day a week or month, take the time. It may be the first "short term" mission that God moves in you & touches others with His love.

I still believe "all" that Rick Warren shared in "The Purpose Driven Life" especially Purpose #5!
WE WERE MADE FOR A MISSION!

I still believe that I will continue to share MISSIONS put on my heart right here.

"God has given you a Life Message to share..."

and I know that HE gave me a LIFE MESSAGE and
I hope to share that through what I post here. I will continue to update on ministries as I have and those in my sidebar.

Tears of the Saints

I had "Tears of the Saints" from Acts1v8 on Vimeo.

'You are the light of the world' –– Jesus talking to His disciples.

Are we being the 'salt and light' that we are called to be?

I needed to remove the Vimeo because it says for PRIVATE USE! It's still worth seeing and all of the others available through Mission Mobilizer. It looks like "Tears of the Saints" is no longer available.

So I have replaced it with this song by Leeland & YouTube by lkittycat

IN THE PAST HOUR: 1625 children were forced to live on the streets 1667 children died from malnutrition or disease 115 children became prostitutes 257 children were orphaned because of HIV/Aids. It gets worse... 2 billion people in the world today have never ever heard of Jesus. 1% of missions financial support, goes to reaching those unreached people. 30,000 people starve to death every day.

CBATW

CHRISTIANS UNITE....FROM WHAT PART OF THE WORLD ARE YOU BLOGGING ?

I'll be praying with you & for you!

FOR MY 500th post on aMazing Graze, Mazes, Messes, Miracles I shared what I thought would BE a BRAIN STORM of an idea for a fantastic 500th BLOG POST to involve everyone, but found out at least TWO have accomplished or done this well or better:

Dapper Kid Around the World June 24th, 2009 ~ FABULOUS IDEA but a bit too complicated for simple me...

Debbie & Darcy @ Bloggers Around the World started in August, 2008 ended in Jan. 2009 (too much work to keep going around the world)

I have another version that I'd like to try and I've set it up here on MISSIONS:
