My heart is full of thanksgiving! Let’s prepare gifts this season to make a way for the gospel and prepare to receive nations as our inheritance.
WMM's Bishop Talmadge and Mrs. Stephanie Gardner being honored at the 2025 Global Assembly.
I want to thank IPHC WMM for the care, love, and support they have shown me throughout ministry life on and off the field. In November, I attended the 7th Global Assembly in Turkey. While there, our missionary family honored the Gardner family for their service to us with wisdom and faithfulness. The speakers on the program brought gospel news, testimonies, and words of great encouragement. Some prominent statements are stuck in my mind to process, such as, “The force of God’s revelation will birth the yielding to submission.” I also heard the term “move-mental change”. This made me think; it is the result of sharing the gospel, giving truth the capacity to birth life with passionate supernatural energy, that burns in us a desire to submit to a deeper revelation of God’s vision for the fields we serve in. We concluded from Acts, Mark, and Matthew that every church should be a Great Commission church, and this is the time to arise.
When one’s heart bursts with tears of compassion, one is given the authority to ask for great things. This has taught me to expect supernatural enablement when putting my hand to the plow. For you, ask God for extraordinary enablement, then prepare yourself to see miracles. If you cannot see it (have faith for it) before you see it, you will not see it. I encourage you to commit to arise and bring hope to those around you. And be prepared to cause many ripples. Evangelism is a powerful tool, and through it, families, communities, cultures, and nations continue to be changed. God’s promise echoes in my mind as I enter the nations, “Great work will I do…”. You too can be a bell ringer and go!
Where do we go? God has set the course and always shares His love. We then partner, pray, and prepare the seed. We go joyfully, give abundantly, give hope and peace, and teach His promises. I long to see every believer activated to go and live this Kingdom dream.
I thank the Lord for His divine invitation to partner with Him. Psalms 2:8 says, “Ask of Me and I shall give you thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession”. This season, as WMM prepares to enter some of the nations without an IPHC representation, I ask you to pray specifically for favor with a person of peace on the Islands of Seychelles and Comoros. Pray also for Mayotte, the gateway to Comoros.
This past year, I worked with children’s workers in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Zanzibar, Kwa-Zulu-Natal (Zululand), Réunion, and Musina (among the Venda Tribe) to engage in new, translated Scripture songs, aiming to stop the work of the enemy in their nations and tribes. Child evangelism training is a tool for all believers. Those trained serve to equip and empower the Church to reach out and bring the harvest of children into His Kingdom. The goal is to also raise an army of young prayer warriors who, along with their parents, pray for the Unreached People Groups. Pray for more families in Southern Africa to develop into MISSIONAL FAMILIES who will attend their local churches, be passionate for the salvation of the lost, and be ready to fulfill the GREAT COMMISSION by playing their role in missions.
Let’s remain in partnership as we sow time in prayer, seed for His Glory, and gather families for His work in the nations. I thank you for sowing seed in this ministry work. I am grateful to be sent to serve the nations.
Thank you for your prayers for Gaby, my daughter. Her surgery went well, and she is building body strength. My knee injury is healing. I am now mostly pain-free, and the supporting muscles are getting stronger. Pray that no surgery will be required at evaluation in January.
Season's Greetings,
Althea Meyer
