Dear Friends and Supporters,
The great Apostle Paul once wrote to the Ephesian church that our God “is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work in us.” (Eph 3:20)
Jeannie and I have certainly learned the truth of this over our first three years in Central Europe. Our ministry with NAB missions and Community Health Evangelism has expanded far beyond Hungary and touched lives in many Central European and Balkan countries by his power that is at work in us.
Now, we are about to take a step that is stretching our imagination and our asking to its limits. Let us tell you about it so that you can ask and imagine with us!
At this moment, 9 countries of the Balkans and Central Europe do not have a wholistic community outreach and development program like Community Health Evangelism (CHE) for their impoverished and Roma people. Our vision is that by the year 2020 we will have CHE teams and projects operating in all 9 of these countries!
In May 2014, we joined forces with the Global CHE Network (GCN), World Challenge, Medical Ambassadors International (MAI), Fida International and the Global Hope Network International (GHNI) to embrace this vision God had given to Hal Jones, leader of GHNI. We are calling it “The Gathering Wave” because God is already beginning to gather people to do a new thing in Central Europe and the Balkans.
On April 14 to 16, 2015, we will launch “The Gathering Wave” in Durres, Albania. We have personally invited the heads of many international missions’ organizations as well as the leaders of churches, denominations and mission-to-the-poor-ministries of Central Europe and the Balkans to The Gathering Wave Conference. In Durres they will hear what God is doing through CHE and wholistic missions around the world. They will have an opportunity to visit thriving CHE communities in Albania to see for themselves. They will be challenged to take this new paradigm back home to glorify the Lord by reaching and transforming poor and Roma villages. They will learn about The Gathering Wave Network that will help resource them to do this new thing in Central Europe and the Balkans.
This is huge! It is far beyond us. Here is how you can pray:
- Pray for Central European and Balkan leaders to have great faith to attend The Gathering Wave in Durres, Albania. We are praying for 100 delegates.
- Pray for the organizing committee as we do the inviting, prepare the program and plan the follow-up. Pray for Ron as he is chairing the committee.
- Pray for the organizing of The Gathering Wave Network that will follow-up with the delegates to help them begin CHE programs.
- Pray that God will do abundantly more than we can ask or think concerning “The Gathering Wave” in Central Europe and the Balkans. Pray that a wave will grow and flood this region with the good news of Jesus and His Kingdom.
Yours for His Kingdom,
Ron and Jeannie Seck
