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, \u201cThe force of God\u2019s revelation will birth the yielding to submission.\u201d I also heard the term \u201cmove-mental change\u201d. 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>When one\u2019s 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\u2019s promise echoes in my mind as I enter the nations, \u201cGreat work will I do\u2026\u201d. You too can be a bell ringer and go!<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>I thank the Lord for His divine invitation to partner with Him. Psalms 2:8 says, \u201cAsk of Me and I shall give you thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession\u201d. 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.<\/p>\n<p>This past year, I worked with children\u2019s workers in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Zanzibar, Kwa-Zulu-Natal (Zululand), R\u00e9union, 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.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Season's Greetings,<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Althea Meyer<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My heart is full of thanksgiving!

Les deseo a ustedes y a sus familias una temporada bendecida de celebraciones. Que su unidad en la fe aumente y se fortalezca al expresar nuestro agradecimiento por la vida de Cristo, demostrando el amor de Dios por nosotros. Naci\u00f3 el salvador del mundo, y mientras se cuenta esta historia, recemos juntos para que, en esta temporada, muchos m\u00e1s lleguen a la salvaci\u00f3n. <\/p><p><\/p><p> En el Hospital Ortop\u00e9dico Infantil Cure en Blantyre-Malawi, los ni\u00f1os escucharon una lecci\u00f3n sobre el tema, &quot;Cristo naci\u00f3 para salvarme&quot; de Mateo 1: 18-24. Antes de dejar a los ni\u00f1os, cada uno recibi\u00f3 una Biblia para ni\u00f1os en su propio idioma, el chichewa. Oren mientras estos ni\u00f1os llevan las buenas noticias a su pueblo. Ore para que los lectores de la Biblia den un paso al frente y lean las historias de la Biblia a la aldea. Gracias por todos los que dan al programa, Biblias para \u00c1frica del Sur, cuenta WMM 11643P. Hiciste esto posible. El 25 de diciembre, los ni\u00f1os de la calle en Blantyre en Stekahouse recibir\u00e1n un desayuno con una lecci\u00f3n y tambi\u00e9n recibir\u00e1n Biblias. <\/p><p><\/p><p> Diciembre es un buen mes para unir a los j\u00f3venes. El reverendo Joe Delport, director regional para \u00c1frica del Sur, plane\u00f3 con el equipo de The Awakening hacer exactamente eso. De ocho naciones, los j\u00f3venes se reunieron en Zambia con los l\u00edderes nacionales de sus pa\u00edses. El objetivo era buscar a Dios, ser empoderado por Dios, para que sus planes nacieran con una estrategia de pasi\u00f3n que se abrazara para el trabajo de la Gran Comisi\u00f3n, y para que los j\u00f3venes se alzaran listos para la responsabilidad y el liderazgo. <\/p><p><\/p><p> Max Barroso trajo una palabra de 1 Reyes 18, ayudando a todos a entender que cada persona cristiana es la respuesta, ya que las naciones est\u00e1n en una sequ\u00eda espiritual. Dios quiere hacer algo a trav\u00e9s de sus vasos. Necesitamos restaurar el altar y entregarnos como una bebida, devolviendo todos nuestros corazones a \u00c9l. Un gran avance es la promesa. Al principio podemos ver solo una peque\u00f1a nube del tama\u00f1o de un pu\u00f1o, pero realmente, deber\u00edamos ver una inundaci\u00f3n como Elijah que se desatar\u00e1. \u00a1Dios est\u00e1 listo para construir a su pueblo como una virgen de Israel para dar a luz a lo que le dar\u00e1 gloria a Dios! Alegr\u00e9monos mientras Dios trabaja en su pueblo para la preparaci\u00f3n de esta temporada espiritual para inundar la tierra con su gloria. <\/p><p><\/p><p> Los l\u00edderes de cada naci\u00f3n para el IPHC son claves fundamentales que ayudan a las iglesias a desarrollar ministerios efectivos para los ni\u00f1os con programas para involucrar a los ni\u00f1os en actividades de divulgaci\u00f3n, misiones y oraciones por grupos de personas no alcanzadas. El reverendo Joe Delport est\u00e1 ayudando a llevar estos folletos a los l\u00edderes para que adopten los ministerios de desarrollo de estrategias y fruct\u00edferos para los ni\u00f1os. Tambi\u00e9n ser\u00e1n dirigidos al siguiente sitio web para obtener recursos: WWW.WAKNET.COM. Ore, ya que el enfoque de los l\u00edderes el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o estar\u00e1 en que cada naci\u00f3n desarrolle un plan de desarrollo del ministerio de ni\u00f1os. Con este plan, los l\u00edderes y trabajadores espec\u00edficos ser\u00e1n entrenados para alcanzar, ense\u00f1ar y movilizar a los ni\u00f1os para convertirse en una fuerza de trabajo y un poderoso ej\u00e9rcito de guerreros de oraci\u00f3n. <\/p><p><\/p><p> Pasar\u00e9 esta Navidad en Malawi, \u00c1frica Central, donde estoy radicado por ahora. Luego me preparar\u00e9 para mi vuelo de Malawi a Mauricio. Pasar\u00e9 tiempo en Mauricio durante parte de enero y febrero de 2020 para trabajar con estudiantes que fueron capacitados durante septiembre de 2019. Luego, en la ciudad capital, un grupo de iglesias reci\u00e9n establecido quiere estar equipado para llegar a los ni\u00f1os de la comunidad. Este ser\u00e1 el momento adecuado para comenzar a escribir la doctrina b\u00edblica de los ni\u00f1os, y ver c\u00f3mo los ni\u00f1os responden a la lectura y el uso del recurso para construir verdades b\u00edblicas fuertes y desarrollar un sistema de creencias que los proteja contra la falsa doctrina. <\/p><p> Que este a\u00f1o sea una gran temporada de cosecha. Que Dios nos use como un equipo de la Gran Comisi\u00f3n para alcanzar sus metas. Mantengo mi coraz\u00f3n centrado en Su voluntad (Mateo 18:14), porque no es la voluntad de nuestro padre celestial que ninguno de estos peque\u00f1os se pierda. <\/p><h2> Peticiones de oraci\u00f3n: <\/h2><p> \u2022 Agradezca a Dios por los j\u00f3venes del sur de \u00c1frica que asistieron a la conferencia The Awakening para surgir y guiar apasionadamente a sus grupos a desarrollar iglesias relevantes en sus comunidades, llegando a j\u00f3venes y ni\u00f1os mientras crecen como l\u00edderes estrat\u00e9gicos. <\/p><p> \u2022 Ore por el trabajo en Mauricio, y que Dios abra las mentes y los corazones para llegar a los ni\u00f1os de la comunidad en Port Lois, la capital. <\/p><p> \u2022 Ore para que los plantadores de iglesias se levanten y planten m\u00e1s iglesias en Mauricio. <\/p><p> \u2022 Ore por los l\u00edderes nacionales, quienes compartir\u00e1n informaci\u00f3n que har\u00e1 crecer l\u00edderes apasionados del ministerio en iglesias y crecer\u00e1n las iglesias con un enfoque en las misiones. <\/p><p> <em><strong>Bendiciones de la temporada,<\/strong><\/em> <\/p><p> <em><strong>Althea<\/strong><\/em> <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","author_name":"Althea Meyer","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/Meyer25-e1763757781135.png","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-1Pb","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7017","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7017"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7017\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
