PRAYER

TRANSLATION OF THE SCRIPTURES IN THE PALAUNG LANGUAGE IS INCOMPLETE.

 

Dear Jesus, give wisdom to those who are working to complete the Scriptures so that Your Word may be placed in the hands and hearts of the Palaung. – Psalm 119:105


THE PALAUNG PEOPLE

The Palaung are a people group that live high in the mountains of China, Myanmar and Thailand. Less than 0.2% of the Palaung population are Christian. This means that fewer than 2,000 Palaung out of 1 million have ever experienced God’s forgiveness and have never known His truly amazing Grace. As children, they are taught to believe that spiritual beings and forces exist between the divine and the human, shaping what happens in their world. They live in continual fear of these powers. The majority of Palaung have never heard that the same God who created heaven and earth also created these spirits, and that He possesses all power needed for deliverance. They need to hear the message of Christ so that they can call upon the Living God. Our hearts desire and prayer to God for the Palaung is that they may be saved. Will you, all of Hoffmantown Church, stand in the gap and make a commitment with us…WILL YOU PRAY?

EAGER TO SEE

WHO WILL SEARCH FOR THEM?

28% of the world's population is without access to Gospel

“Woe, shepherds of who have been feeding themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?’ You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat sheep without feeding the flock. ‘Those who are sickly you have not strengthened, the diseased you have not healed, the broken you have not bound up, the scattered you have not brought back, nor have you sought for the lost...‘‘My flock wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill; My flock was scattered over all the surface of the earth, and there was no one to search or seek for them." Ezekiel 34


Ezekiel 34 1 The word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who only take care of themselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock?... 6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.

THE FATHER'S HAND by C. Brickley

Father you prayed and sent us out, our mission was clear and without a doubt.

But time and sin has found its way in, and rendered us useless again and again.


But today we come back and ask in prayer, to renew our hearts that we might care.


For the lost and dying that still haven’t heard, because we’ve failed to carry your Word.

“Follow me” you asked and fear not go, but what of the “rich man” who instead said “no”, Where is he now and the “stuff” he soon lost, what did he pay when he knew not the cost?

O’ Dear father how your grace washes in, when over and over we fall to sin. Renew our hearts with the gift to repent, that the lost would be found by those You have sent.

Give us clear sight that we might see, the faces of the lost that we’re to free.


From the hopeless chains and bondage of sin, this dungeon of darkness where once we’ve all been.


Use us please Lord, give us this day, to boldly proclaim what we’ve refused to say,That You are I AM, who loved at the cross, who died to give life to the hopeless and lost.

Find us Father, willing to go; that none should perish and all would know,find us Father broken and low, willing to serve and go where You go, find us faithful when in the past you have not, send us to give what we’ve already got.

 

Eternal life and love without fail, a limitless supply of Jesus to tell,

to every child, every woman and man, dying for the touch of the Father’s hand.

ONE VOICE by c. brickley

Pray and lift up a mighty voice, a voice of life and not of choice.

Lifted by many but heard as one, in the name of Jesus, the Father’s Son.


The Son of God, the spotless and blameless, who hung on a cross for the wretched and shameless.

 

Not our will but the Father’s be done, that we might join our voices from many to one. In the name of Jesus, the Father’s Son.


We hurry and we go, doing this and that, over here and there,

Striving in our might without the power of prayer.

So self-sufficient, so many and so strong,

so many voices but still the same song.


The song of the “unreached” that only will hear, when the voice of the many rise up in one prayer.

One prayer to the Father, in the name of the Son,

Not our will but His be done.


It matters not the cost nor the price to pay, when the voice of the many begin to pray. One voice, one voice, of the Martyr and Saint, So many brushes, one canvas to paint.

 

Awaken our hearts that we might see, the picture you’ve painted that soon will be.

 

Make ready, make ready, the way of the Lord,

And lift up our voices in one accord.


Awaken our hearts that we might be one, in the name of Jesus, the Father’s Son.Awaken our hearts and help us see, what you prayed to the Father that we would be…


One!


PRAYER

PERSECUTION AMONG NEW PALAUNG BELIEVERS IS HEAVY AND AT TIMES RESULTS IN DEATH. MANY HAVE ALLOWED FEAR TO CONTROL THEM.

 

Dear God Almighty, give courage to new believers. -1 Thessalonians 2:2
