The Mission Field: Planting Season- Planting a Missionary!

We have been steady in "tilling the soil" in prayer for Long Island/NYC for four years now. Our commission is an inter-denominational mission base that worships God and prays for Long Island/NYC 24-7-365. This is not simply a good idea. It is God's idea. It is prayer that ushers in revival for the church and paves the way for the region to shift from the "world system" into the Kingdom.

In order to fulfill this goal, we know that we need Father to provide full and part-time missionaries who will give of their time, finances and energy. In the economy of God's kingdom, we reap what we sow.

On Tuesday Evening, Angela DeLuca is going to be at IHOP-LI , speaking about her call as an intercessory missionary. We were "lent" her services for this year and Father is calling her back to Kansas City to serve there. She has been given to us as a "seed for the sower" and we want to honor the gift Father has given us and bless her with support from Long Island. We have a wonderful opportunity to "sow" an intercessory missionary and pave the way for others to engage in this expression of mission here on Long Island. We believe that as we freely give, we clear the way for more missionaries here as well.

Please ask Father if He would like you to come and learn about what we are building here and in KC and if He would like to gift you in joining us in supporting her. She will need prayer support and financial support. She will also need TLC and communication as she leaves her family to engage in night and day prayer on behalf of NY and the Nations. What follows is her note.

"You are invited to partner with me in ministry!

I am moving back to Kansas City in July to re-join staff at IHOP-KC, and I am in need of financial and prayer partners. I would love to have you come and fellowship with me over some pizza, and share with me as I tell my story. I will be giving a presentation after dinner to walk you through how the Lord has called me into this ministry of worship and intercession, and to tell you more about the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, where I will be serving.

Here's the plan:

6:00 ~ Pizza & fellowship
6:30 ~ Ministry Presentation
7:00 ~ Invitation and prayer
7:30 ~ IHOP-LI worship and intercession

I have truly enjoyed building friendships with each one of you, and would love to share with you in this ministry. Please be praying and asking the Lord if this is something He would have you sow into. I am excited for what the Lord is doing through the prayer movement and would love the opportunity to excite your heart as well!

Hope to see you there!

Blessings,
Angela
