Greetings,
Please allow me to thank you all for your beautiful emails I have received in response to
"The Lord Will Establish His Table in the Midst of You". I have received over one hundred
and fifty emails. These emails came from ministries within Africa, missions groups going to
Africa and from descendants of Africa in the United Sates that feel called to return. I have
been touched deeply. I have also made some new friendships that I deeply treasure.
I have created an emails list from all the responses. I hope to use this list to bring encouragement
and vision to the work of the Father in the land of Africa. I will try to only send out one email a week.
If you would like to be removed from this list please just send me an email. Thank you.
Just a little bit about myself. I live in the United States near Peoria, Illinois. I am married and have two
wonderful children. I am not in full time ministry at this time but have been in the past. I have worked
with many church movements but have spent the most of my time in the Vineyard movement. I currently
attend an Assembly of God church in Peoria Illinois.
For this first posting I would like to include a dream sent to me by Sheila Lynch. Sheila has ministered
in Haiti but has recently been having dreams about Africa. Here is her dream.
"In my dream this very pregnant Rhino is laying on the ground covered with mud in the hot, hot sun and trying to birth her baby but can not because she is so covered in mud. She is in extreme pain and can not get up. The pains are of no use to her and she knows that she is in trouble because the birth process is not happening. Shortly there comes a giraffe who with such force bends his neck and begins to swing his head hitting the Rhino on the back in order to break off the mud so that the birth process can continue. With his mission complete he walks away. And the Rhino gives birth".
I believe through Sheila's dream the Lord is saying He is sending those with vision to Africa to serve her.
They will help to clear away past coverings that have been placed upon her so that she can see her own
Identity in the Lord. Once she can clearly see her own Identity in the Lord she will give birth to many
children that will go out and bless all the Nations of the Earth.
Please seek the Lord to see what He would speak to you through this dream.
I also want to thank the Lord for the recent peace agreement reached in Liberia. Lord, we pray you will raise up your
Government in Liberia. That you will bring about leadership that is just and true and has a heart to serve the people
of this precious land. Again, thank you Father.
I also want to pray for Uganda. I believe the Lord has a road to Damascus experience for the L.R.A.
Lord reveal yourself to the L.R.A. Let them see the one they are persecuting. Let them see you in all
of your Light and in all of your Might. Turn them like you did your servant Paul. That you Father. We ask
that you do this soon Lord so that your work may go on in Uganda unhindered.
My Father God, We pray Your peace upon Africa. Lift her head Lord to see a new day.
We also pray Your safety Lord to all of those who are traveling to or from Africa to do your work.
We pray Lord that you will set up the appointments and bring the right people together to bring
about your purposes. We also pray a supernatural release of air line tickets for your servants.
Thanks you again for your outpouring of Love,
Arise Africa!
