October 2005

Dear Intercessors and Friends:

Our greatest love is extended to each one of you. We praise God for each and every prayer you raise up to heaven on our behalf. We pray that you reap deeply all you have sown into Christ's work in the nations.

We want to update you on last month's events, including Jodie's trip to San Diego setting up future India work. We are pleased when our Lord uses us in bridging people, ministries and nations together. We are privileged to see Him doing this at this moment.

Jodie first visited with Pastor Gary and Jane Goodell, Third Day Church Regional Directors: An invitation was extended to Pastor Gary and Jane to attend the upcoming ICL India Team send-off on January 29, 2006, and we are grateful that they have accepted.

Additionally, Jodie met with Meri Crouley of Meri Crouley Ministries about future trips to serve Set Free San Diego and Uganda, Africa.

Next, Jodie met with Dan and Sarah Shepler, also coming to the send-off in January, as well as flying a team out to Mumbai, India. More bridge building! Jodie also received training from the Fallbrook Healing Rooms as part of her own preparation for India.

Lastly, Jodie spent time with Pastor Grinner and Tammera, whom she is mentoring. They are with Set Free Ministries as Women's Recovery Home Directors. It was a time of planning and loving and nurturing.

Upon returning to Kansas City, Jodie was pleased to extend an offer to two more Christ Triumphant Church pastors and leaders to train future healing room directors for Mumbai. We praise the Lord for all the travel into the mighty nation of India on behalf of the Healing Rooms to our Lord's glory!

We DO have specific prayer requests for you:

Out of a team of five, the Lord is sending to India two "tent-makers", while three others are raising funds by faith. ICL is in the process of writing to foundations and donors requesting donations to be given to these missionaries called by God to India. Please note in the itinerary that our commitment is for one year to give to the establishment of the Healing Rooms.

Our prayer request are as follows:

      1. Please join us in interceding for the financial support and for the mighty blessing of the donors.
      2. Please pray in Jesus' Name that He would empower us with the anointing to heal the sick. We would like to see "signs following" (Matthew 16) as we pray for the sick for Jesus' glory. Kindly remember, this is also an evangelistic outreach to a country where only 2.6% of the population is Christian.
      3. Please pray for our protection. The enemy does not want us there! We have been warned more than once to seek prayer for protection.

Great love, with prayers done on your behalf,
The Inner City Light Team
