ROCK Resources & ROCKids

Thank you for your prayers and part in the continuing ministries of ROCK International – for the spread of a clearly understood gospel worldwide “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). While the coronavirus pandemic (a divinely ordered “time-out” for the world) has forced upon us the unique and uncomfortable practice of social distancing, with it also comes unique opportunities to connect and communicate God’s story and message to anxious, seeking souls via social media. Please join us in prayer:

1. that each of us will have the wisdom and readiness to seize the opportunities to spread the hope of the gospel in a contagious kind of way.
2. for God’s good news to spread like never before throughout the Muslim world and beyond. God is at work. One worker wrote recently of Muslims “who were very open to receiving prayer and responding to the gospel.”

3. for the Lord’s people to know His peace, protection, and provision, and for the growth of the church worldwide spiritually and numerically. Thanks for remembering ROCK-project connected workers in Niger, Senegal, and Tanzania during this hard time of social distancing in community/event-oriented societies.
4. that the Lord will guide the ROCK team as we seek to develop and implement a social media strategy that will help God’s people worldwide multiply their use of ROCK’s multi-language gospel resources to reach into communities and countries – to impact hearts and homes for time and eternity.

Thanks again for your faithful part in what God is doing. Take courage in these facts and promises from Him:
The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth… “For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a
thousand hills. I know all the birds of the hills, and all that moves in the field is mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world and its fullness are mine. … Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”
(Psalm 50:1,10-12,15 ESV)
