SEAC Prayer Journal

Family Mosaic, Creative Arts Worship, a mosaic of our communion time together. Today concludes SEALS 2012. The morning began with cultural breakout groups to reflect and debrief the weekends experiences, lessons, and blessings.  Afterwards we moved into powerful morning of worship.  The mosaic cross of the broken pottery from the night before stood up as a symbol of our communion together as a family, and one tribe, under the Kingdom of Christ. Worship Team! James Choung came back speaking on how to fuel our drams.  He gave many helpful points that would equip us on how to re-approach our dreams and ministries with a new perspective.  -We are to be God watchers, similar to birdwatchers who from a far can recognize the voice of a speck in the sky, as well as admire the  bird in its beauty up close.  If we are like birdwatchers, we can recognize what God is doing in front of our eyes.   -Do know, do we live, do we have an expectation ...

Today was such a colorful day of fellowship.  It was a delightful day of celebrating who we are as Southeast Asian Americans through creative arts worship, and intimate worship.  We praise the almighty God for how he created us, and for the gifts that he has bestowed on us. We started the day with morning worship; empowered to be active globally whether in our churches or in the darkest closed places.  The speaker challenged us to think about our position in global missions: Are you a sender? Be a sender, Are you a Goer, than GO!  He ushered us into an intimate time of prayer and release. After lunch we gathered to have some crazy fun creative fellowship.  We split into groups of 3 and made masks with plaster and water. We continued our day with workshops and a group photo showing off our cultural ethnic group attire. During evening sessions, the National Director of Asian American Ministries, InterVarsity empower us to be a people that follow through with...

It's Day 2 if SEALS 2012 It was our first full day filled with  workshops, regional breakouts, and worship, and exhibits. Another highlight of the day was breaking into meeting other leaders of similar ministries and similar ethnicity.  It is so good to hear the hustle and bustle of discussion,  intriguing conversations, and delightful faces. One highlight that I experienced mid day was during the regional breakout session.  (we broke out to West, East, Midwest, South regions of the U.S) to discuss 2 questions: 1) What are the issues that you are facing today in your immigrant churches and how is it affecting your ministry? 2)What do you hope for, what do you want to see happen next, and how can SEAC help? It was good to hear the pangs of the struggles of ministry in an immigrant, but it is so encouraging to listen, see how God moves in waves, and how he is healing, redeveloping, and reconstructing Southeast Asian perspectives on leadership, honor, and r...

Ephesians 6:18-20 And pray in the Spirit in all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert, and always keep on praying for all the saints. Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I may fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. PRAY THAT I MAY DECLARE IT FEARLESSLY, AS I SHOULD. We are just a 3 days away from SEALS 2012.  As everyone begins to pack and finalize preparations; lets also whisper prayers to Him who is able. Most of us usually whisper to God the Father, but let us not neglect God the Spirit. As we pack and travel; whisper to the Spirit that dwells in us. Awaken the Spirit within and dare to ask for boldness: -Boldness for all the saints coming to SEALS 2012. -Boldness to share a testimony to strangers, think about your drive or airplane ride. -Boldness to make our hearts available for healing and release. -Boldness to be humbled by th...
