“And the LORD answered me and said, ‘Write the vision, and make it plain…that he who reads it may run.’ Habakkuk 2:2
 
Presently:
We are reaching souls with the Gospel of the Kingdom of God!! Yes, souls!! And we have been blessed with a small team of prayer partners that are being taught every Shabbat evening (Fri 7 PM – 10:30 or 11 PM). We are meeting from house to house (just like the Word that He gave us). Last night we were at our apartment again. We will be at our neighbors next week, and back to Evarts, KY the following 2 weeks.
 
First Impact of 2008
January 5th –10th, ’08 we partnered with AIM (Adventures in Missions) and taught on Listening Prayer, Prayer walking, and sharing the Gospel of the Kingdom to a mission group consisting of 32 high school seniors and 6 adult leaders from Lee’s Summit Community Christian School (Missouri). A short day was 8 AM – 10 PM. We were able to cover several small communities and had 2 souls come to Messiah! (One was a student from the mission trip!)
 
Several were presented with the Gospel, and there is still much follow up. Two churches were directly impacted; New Hope Church of God was encouraged in their vision to begin a youth ministry on Thursday nights. And still yet another, Sunny Acres First Church of God, where I am teaching on Sun and Wed night, has asked me to teach and lead a prayer walking ministry that will reach out to their community. As this is put into place, I believe that I am to assign leaders and then move on to the next church.
 
As we continue to meet with the pastors and parishioners in HarlanCounty, we are asking Abba to open their hearts to the message He has given us. And that He will impact their hearts with the vision that He is willing to birth this year!
 
Revealing the Glory:
The Holy Spirit is moving throughout the Body of Christ; and His message is simple. “Oneness” in the body. This oneness is the fulfillment of a prayer that has for 2,000 years been in the waiting. It has lingered, He has waited; it will be fulfilled. (Hab 2:3)
 
As this oneness is birthed; then, the world will believe that the Father has sent His Son, Yeshua. And as we are one, the world will also know the Father’s love for them; even as He loves Yeshua! (John 17:20-23) It is to this body that He will reveal His glory!
 
The Boiler Room; plowing in the Spirit Realm:
Phase 1-Our prayer is for an increase in the Spiritual temperature so that from each church there will arise a core of prayer warriors. We will meet on a monthly basis, mobilizing team leaders in several cities that will gather to prayer weekly. They will specifically pray for “oneness” in the Body of Messiah in HarlanCounty.
Phase 2-is to establish a 24-Hour “Boiler Room” of prayer.
Phase 3 - is the multiplication of the “boiler room” in other cities.
 
The Outreach; Sowing and Reaping:
As the Body of Messiah comes together, then they will need evangelism training. We will combine “Listening Prayer”, “Prayer Walking” and “the Way of the Master” as our curriculum basics. This will equip ministry teams to saturate a specific area with prayer, evangelism, discipleship, and encouragement.
 
Greater Vision; a Deeper Impact:
Pray as we establish Ministry Equipping Conferences. This will enable us to launch out into the deep and impact HarlanCounty and beyond! Please be in prayer as we “Write the vision and make it plain…that he who reads it may run (with it). For the vision is still for an appointed time, but it speaks to the end, and does not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it; because it will surely come. It will not tarry.”(Habakkuk 2:2b-3 MKJV)
 
The Opening of New Doors:
We are also seeking an open door into the Hispanic community. They do not have a place of worship. Thankfully, Ana can be of great assistance with the language barrier. Pray for her as she steps out of her comfort zone and translates the message as it is taught. And pray for an open home where we can minister. Or, greater still, that we will find favor with the restaurant owner; allowing us to teach before or after work in the restaurant.
 
Watch and Pray:
And as you are “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching to this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. And pray for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the Gospel, for which I am an ambassador in bonds; so that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.” (Ephesians 6:18-20 MKJV)
 
Shalom Aleichem!                                                         Larry and Ana Walters

12/29/2011 Looking back at 2011 and forward to 2012...

Dear Ministry Family,
As 2011 comes to a close and 2012 opens we want to take time and intercede for you and your family personally. We will be in a season of intense prayer starting Sunday, January 1 – Saturday, January 21, 2012.
Please send in your prayer request and let us come into agreement with you concerning each request.
 
2011 was a powerful impact year for the Gospel of Christ! Here are a few highlights...
 
1.       We complete our final 2 months in India seeing hundreds of souls come to Christ.
2.       We established ministry connections and have continued to disciple new believers and leaders in India over the past year through weekly contacts, online teaching and calls via Skype.
3.       We ministered in Pakistan via Skype to a house church from India and are in weekly contact with ministries in Pakistan developing these relationships.
4.       We have received invitations from 15 nations and are developing relationships with each and seeking open doors to answer there cry of “come over and help us.”
5.       We ministered in Grenada seeing more than 250 souls come to Christ, established street outreaches and developing key relationships.
6.       We have finished our 1st booklet titled “By What Name Do You Know Him?” and are ready to print. We are 80% funded for this project.
7.       We have begun a study on Isaiah 58 that will be available in booklet form in 2012, Lord willing, that is already ministering into the lives of many of our prayer and ministry partners.
8.       We have obtained custody of 2 of our granddaughters, Rachel and Leah.
9.       We are currently in Mt Vernon, OH in the following capacity:
a.       Acting Rabbi at Mogen David Synagogue reaching out to a Jewish community 15 minutes from our doors.
b.      Weekly services Friday and Saturday Evenings
c.       Hilel and Paleo Hebrew instruction weekly
d.      Seeking avenues to become active in this community
                                                               i.      Praying and Preparing to establish a Lifeline Chapter for those dealing with life controlling issues such as drug and alcohol addiction.
                                                             ii.      Discipleship of community leadership with Kingdom Impact locally and globally.
10.   We have begun a dialog with Frontier Missions; an organization focused on reaching Muslims with the Gospel worldwide, and are taking initial steps to consider partnership with Frontiers.
11.   Preparing our return to India in 2012 for His Glory!
a.       Operation Life-Line for Oppressed People based in Secunderabad, with Pastor Manoharjohn Inja. This will be our base of operations in India. The location is strategically placed for transportation, discipleship and a national outreach.
This Metropolis is home to more than 4 million and is the twin city to Hyderabad a metropolis of more than 5 million. The cost of living in Secunderabad in a three bedroom apt /home office including all expenses will run approximately $500 monthly and we are seeking a ministry budget of $1000 for travel expenses and outreach needs.
In this home we will be able to host ministerial couples and individuals and send them into full time discipleship throughout India.
b.      Hosting a pastor’s conference in Vizianagaram for 678 pastors with Pastor Piridi Paul of Dayamaya Evangelical Ministries in September 2012. This will allow us to impact more than 2000 villages! We will equip the men of God who will take the Word of God to empower the people of God through the Spirit of God to reach their village, state and nation for the Glory of God.
c.       Establishing ministry partnership with a key leader in Kakinada Pastor Yelchuri Sudhakara Rao, a mighty man of God.
d.      Returning to Rajahmundry to follow up with our host family from the village of Koti, Evangelist VJ Rao, his wife Krupah and their sons Suresh and Bobby. This was also where Grace Ministries, Koti was established to meet the needs of the elderly.
e.      Follow up with Pastor Praveen in Kakinada and the villages where our 1st well was established ministering clean water to 15 villages (Barrimidi).
f.        Returning to Coimbatore, Tamilnadu to follow up with “our boys” at this orphanage, the Bible school students and Dr Christie Solomon and his sons Nehemiah Christie and Jabez Christie and their families.
With all that needs to be accomplished, I want to quote from our Messiah Jesus, “without Me you can do nothing.” It is humbling to be included in the plans of an All-Sufficient God Who does not need us to accomplish His plans in the world. He allows us to be used by Him for His glory and honor because of His great love for us and those He sends us to.
 
Do we treat God as “needy” and “we” are the “answer of His prayers?” We need Him. We are in constant need of His abiding presence every moment of our lives.
 
And it is to this end that we have placed our lives into His capable hands and are praying that He will, through His Spirit, empower us with His Word to take the Gospel to the unreached and unengaged people for His Glory.
 
We thank you for partnering with us this year and in the years to come. May we be poured out for His glory!
This is the final week to make an impact in 2011…Your giving is a vital part of this ministry and may God richly bless you all!
 
We thank our heavenly Father for you all making mention of you in our prayers often. And we pray that the intimacy of your relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ will grow and become more and more effectual as you acknowledge every good thing that is in you in Him.
Our joy is overflowing because of the love you have for us and the compassion you have for lost souls that are without the greatest message of all time…Jesus is the Christ, the son of the Living God; Who gave Himself as a ransom for many and Who is alive forevermore!
May our heavenly Father minister His grace and peace to you all through His Spirit and Word now and forever!
 
In Simple Obedience,
Larry and Ana Walters with Rachel and Leah

Pray for us as we begin the proceedings for custody of Rachel and Leah. And they will then be able to travel with us to India.

10/5/2011 Serving While We Wait...

"Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass." 1 Thes 5:24 NASB

First of all we want to thank you all for your prayers and faithful financial support! 

Since our return to the USA we have encountered many setbacks and delays. He is Faithful. We know that we must return to India, a burden has grown inside of me that will not diminish. He has called us.

Through many prayers and hours of brokenness we have cried out to the Lord for India. Our resolve is steadfast with our eyes focused upon Him.  He will bring it to pass.

We have been contacted by Frontiers. This is a mission organization that reaches out to Muslims. We have communicated our hearts desire for India and reaching both the Muslim population as well as the Hindu people.

Even though India is 89-90% Hindu, 8-9% Muslim and 1-2% Christian there are more Muslims in India than the population of the United States. We had a strong harvest from the Muslim population while in India. And we have a close friend Abdul. He is from Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, who was Muslim and he and his wife are now followers of Messiah Jesus!

Currently we are raising support to return to India in the fall of 2012. Prayerfully we will be connected to Frontiers and begin training in the next few months. We are not connected to a large sending congregation and we will be 100% supported by you our faithful partners.

8/25/2011 Prayer for Mercy for America...

Abba Father,

As we see what is approaching our nation, we remind You that You are a merciful God. You have no pleasure in the death of the wicked...You have been slow to anger and we have pressed against You time and time again.

Father forgive our nation for her stance against Jerusalem and Isreal. Forgive us for pressing Israel to divide the land You have given to her. Forgive us for trying to play "God" and broker peace in a land where there will be no peace until Your enemies have become Your footstool.

Many of us find it hard to understand that even in judgment God is there.

Here are two passages for us to consider as we pray for His mercy for our nation.

Nahum 1:2-3 (NASB) 2 A jealous and avenging God is the LORD;
The LORD is avenging and wrathful.
The LORD takes vengeance on His adversaries,
And He reserves wrath for His enemies.
3 The LORD is slow to anger and great in power,
And the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.
In whirlwind and storm is His way,
And clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

Jeremiah 23:19-20 (NLT)19 Look! The Lord’s anger bursts out like a storm,
      a whirlwind that swirls down on the heads of the wicked.
 20 The anger of the Lord will not diminish until it has finished all he has planned. In the days to come you will understand all this very clearly.

 

And here it is again from the New Testament:

Luke 21:25-28 (NKJV)25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

"Even so, come Lord Jesus, come."

Remember Love Wins,

Larry and Ana Walters
