UPDATE from David at Resonate

The conference is awesome.... It is still going on... We have had wonderful worship times, wonderful speakers , and the breakout sessions are great with a lot of good teaching...

I am thankful for the lovely people around me here; they are all awesome. I really feel the sense of being in God's family where you can easily experience good time with someone you did not know.

I met with one guy... I was just sitting in the cfn cafeteria and he came to me and asked me, "Are you David?" I was like WOW where do you know me sir? He said he received the message on the blog saying DAVID IS IN DALLAS...

In a couple hours they will begin the live worship recording ... that is going to be awesome!

Dallas is great... all days have been sunny so far , except Wednesday - it SNOWED all day long!!!

I hope you are doing well in Casablanca, my greetings to the church.

I gotta go back to the conference now ...

Blessings....
David

Please PRAY for Christopher

2008-01-07T13:04:00.000-08:00

Christopher came to Morocco seeking entrance into Europe to escape the poverty in Africa. Soon after arriving in Morocco he paid a smuggler to take him by boat to the Canary Islands. The smuggler was greedy and overloaded the boat. The weather was rough and the boat capsized near the shore. Christopher said he went under the sea and lost his orientation. He had no idea which way was up. Under the sea he prayed and said “Jesus please save me”. The waves picked him out of the sea and violently threw him upon the rocks. His arm was broken is several places and he was unconscious. He was rescued and taken to Morocco. There were 17 people with Christopher in that little boat. All but Christopher perished in the sea that day. Christopher’s arm healed nicely and he came to CIPC and gave his life to the Lord. He has served on the CIPC worship team for more than a year now. Christopher came to realize his life was not in Europe; his life is in the Lord. Yesterday (January 6, 2008) Christopher began a long journey across the Sahara Desert to return to his home nation of Nigeria. Please pray for Christopher over the next few weeks as he makes this arduous journey.

Please PRAY for Anissa

2008-01-02T02:33:00.000-08:00

Anissa has Lyme Disease which she contracted by being bitten by a tick. Anissa is in the USA now and has been taking medications. Currently she is off medication and feeling OK. Next week (January 7, 2008) she will start medications again. As Anissa begins this next series of medications I wanted to ask everyone at CIPC to be in prayer for her. God has better things planned for her life. Pray for her complete healing and recovery. Pray that these drug do not produce potential side effects. And please pray for the Lord to comfort her and speak to her during this difficult time.

Please PRAY for Ozo & Cynthia

2007-12-30T14:18:00.000-08:00

Ozo and Cynthia have been in Morocco for a long time. They were married in Nigeria and came to Morocco hoping to transit into Europe to find a better life. In Morocco they realized this dream of Europe is not much of a dream at all. When Cynthia became pregnant they decided to return home to their nation and begin a life for their family there. They left Casablanca tonight (Dec 30, 2007) and will be traveling for many days. Please be praying for Ozo and Cynthia over the next few weeks. Cynthia is pregnant and this is a very difficult journey on land across the Sahara desert. THEY MADE IT! January 15, 2008 ! ! !
