Global DAWN

Go...and Make

Sandy Moore — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 22:29:49 +0000

Jesus commands us to “…go and make disciples of all peoples…” (Matthew 28:19 NLT). So whether to our neighbors in Fairbanks, to the native Eskimos or Athabascan Indians in their Alaskan villages, the folks in your “neck of the woods,” or around the globe, the call is the same … “make disciples of all peoples.”

As a result of our ongoing commitment to “make disciples,” opportunities continue coming to us through Global DAWN Network.

Orality training in Hetauda, Nepal highlighted our Asia trip last November. Nepal is one of the world’s least evangelized nations. A primary reason 96% of the people groups in Nepal remain outside the reach of the Gospel is the remote nature of the mountainous Himalayan countryside making access of its population very difficult. We are in the beginning stages of a project to concentrate on vision, scale, and logistics to impact the entire country of Nepal. To go where others have not gone…to do what others have been unable to do. With the development of the Nepal Peoples Network, Global DAWN will be able to provide a focused energy of envisioning, encouragement, equipping, and mobilizing leaders in this nation of unrest and persecution. We will also begin to research aid projects in areas that are still untouched by many humanitarian aid agencies.

Pray with us as we finalize arrangements for Sandy to return to Nepal and perhaps India in November. Our national associates are pleading for further orality training. We would like to answer that call. Travel expenses to and around Asia represent the majority of our need for funds. Or you may also be interested in subsidizing one of our “cup of cold water” projects underway in India and Nepal. If so, contact us directly, and we’ll share more about a water/well development for farmers in Central India, supporting a youth conference in Nagpur, India, or bringing fresh water to villages in Nepal.

Thanks to you who give regularly to support our GDN calling. Any funds given for our mission opportunities are held in escrow and used entirely for our expenses. Tax-deductible gifts may be written and mailed to “The Encounter” at the address below with a note for “The Moores.” If interested in making a direct deposit, please contact us for account information.

Following His Call to …Go and Make…,

A Bucket of Water and a Towel

Sandy Moore — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 05:08:01 +0000

We sat in a sparsely furnished room at the YMCA tourist hostel in Delhi, India. A large bucket of water and two used-to-be-white bath towels were in the center of that room. Around the perimeter, sitting on beds and chairs brought in from neighboring rooms were six gentle-spirited Indian men of God. Their stories began to emerge. With translation and in broken English, we heard incredible reports of murder and execution, beatings and burning, accidents and injuries, discrimination and persecution.
But in the midst of these reports were the accounts of miracles…healing of body and heart… unbelievable pardon for past mistakes, restoration of broken bones, finding the ability to forgive, even though bitterness had harbored long and hard, opportunities to rebuild after destruction, the decision made to answer God’s call to ministry…each man in that room touched by the overwhelming power of the love of the Son. And then the Holy Spirit descended and that hotel room became ‘holy ground.’ Ken knelt on the floor in front of our new friends from Central India and with the bucket of water and the well-used towel washed their feet. Tears flowed and prayers were uttered. It was an anointed time.

The Time is Now

Sandy Moore — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 04:35:07 +0000

We’re on the road again … to INDIA and NEPAL where the harvest fields are ready and the time for bringing in the harvest is NOW! Our Global DAWN Network team has researched the harvest field in India and elsewhere in South Asia. We’ve learned a good deal about the people groups—the lost cultures of India’s caste-ridden societies and the religious bondage that overcomes the Nepalese people.

It’s now time for action as we work hand-in-hand with Indian and Nepali church planters and leaders to impact people groups with the Gospel.

PRAY for us as we prepare for a two week South Asia trip in November:

To INDIA

· Our onsite work with Global DAWN Network partners and national associates culminates in New Delhi with a gathering of the India Peoples Network (IPN), a three-day consultation of encouragement and support and to hear stories of how the Gospel is stretching far into the unreached cultures of that country.

· The India project will focus on the caste-defined cultures of north and central India which are less than 2% Christian.

· Specific local research of humanitarian needs will lead to possible development of well projects to provide desperately necessary clean water.

To NEPAL

· We will sponsor a four-day seminar in Hetauda on Story Telling with the Nepal Peoples Network (NPN).

· The Nepal project will be a time of training in oral communication, where Bible stories are used to plant churches in villages where the name of Jesus has never been heard.

· The love of Christ will be demonstrated in practical ways, laying the foundation to improve infrastructure, dig wells, and more.

The Lord of the harvest calls us to deliberate action – loving our neighbor as ourselves. As we bring focus to the strategic steps necessary to engage and impact people groups, we’re delighted to have two leaders from our Fairbanks’ church join us on this trip to assist in developing our “cup of cold water” projects.

Consider GIVING toward our ministry in INDIA and NEPAL:

· We’d like to challenge you to fund one or more of our indigenous ministry partners that they may attend the Story Telling Training in Nepal. The cost for each attendee is $50. Our prayer is that through your giving, 60 church planters from villages in the mountains of the Himalayas can come, learn how, and experience the value of telling Bible stories in their cultures.

Tax-deductible gifts can be written and mailed to “The Encounter” at the address below with a note for “The Moores.”

THANKS!

Be blessed!

We Won’t Be Coming Back This Way Again!

Sandy Moore — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 06:42:15 +0000

The officer at the Canadian border crossing in Sumas, Washington, questioned us with the usual…Where are you going? How long will you be in Canada? When will you return? Our answer to the latter was, “We won’t be coming back again.” That’s when reality struck. I expected it to come when the packers were packing, or when the movers were moving, or maybe when saying goodbye to our family…especially the little ones…but still reality was out there somewhere.

But now, after 1,400 miles have passed under our van’s tires, I’m beginning to feel it, and I don’t know what to think. The whispy clouds hanging low over the beautiful Canadian Rockies add their whispers to my melancholic thoughts of “what are we doing?”

Following God’s call would be the expected (and most likely correct) answer. But how can we be certain of that call? I guess it’s more a feeling inside that things will be o.k. The clouds will lift, the sun will shine, and God’s plan will be revealed for and in all His glory!

Say “No” to Mao

Sandy Moore — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:02:07 +0000

At the age of 18, our Associate in Kathmandu, Nepal (name withheld due to the political nature of this writing), was steeped in the Maoist political regime. His primary task was to observe the “church” and report his findings. For six months he spied on the Christians, but could not find anything wrong. What he found instead was the love of God demonstrated to him through the church and through reading the Bible. He left the Maoist politics behind and at great risk to himself and to his family, followed Christ into a life of ministry. His heart is for the youth of Nepal, and with that passion, leads youth camps and conferences around the nation. Please pray for his ministry for the youth—and there are many!—in the hundreds of unreached people groups of his country. Also pray for his lovely, wife, their first child, whose name is translated meaning “anointed one,” and their second daughter born just a few days ago.
