Let Us Lift Up Our Brother Alec As He Travels to a Prayer Conference in India...the birthplace of the CPU!

Brothers and Sisters,
I have taken a few minutes this morning to read back over the dozens of posts that have been placed on this blog which began with a simple and sincere goal 7 years ago. I am embarrassed to admit how far I have drifted from the crystal-clear focus that the posts reveal here. I am seeking anyone who visits here to do what I have done and "examine yourself" and especially, examine your heart's desire as it relates to revival...personal and corporate.

As an introduction back into this Union, I'm posting a recent email I received from Alec in which he requests prayer for an upcoming trip. Please lift up our brother and consider becoming involved again here in the Canton Prayer Union.

Dear Steve,

          Greetings to you in the name of the Lord Jesus.
  I am sorry it is such a long time since I corresponded with you, but I hope you are well and rejoicing in the Lord in spite of the world and the churches getting worse. I still remember our time together at Canton, Ohio, and the prayer time before it.  Our God is still the same.

     You may remember that two years ago I went to India at the invitation of Joshua Daniel, a true man of God. I went to the national prayer convention in Chennai of their organization, which is called the Laymen's Evangelical Fellowship International. I had a wonderful experience, which I think I told you about.

     Joshua has again invited me to go to the convention this year, and Samuel, a preacher connected with our prayer network, has also invited me to visit him in Ahmednagar in Maharashtra, which is much further north, near Mumbai.

     Having been to the Chennai convention, the situation there is now slightly familiar, but the trip north is far more daunting both as regards it being completely unknown territory, and also the fact that Samson is expecting me to speak at different meetings, but I have no idea who the people are, nor what to speak about. I think we are also going out to some villages, which, again, will be a completely new experience.              So I would really appreciate it if you, and maybe others, such as Bill, could pray for me at this time.
  My trip starts on May 13th and goes through to June 4th. I am sorry I didn't inform you before this. Please forgive me.
          Hopefully, you will be able to back me up, so  I attach a detailed itinerary.
      I know your prayers are effective, so I covet them at this time. I will send you a report about the trip afterwards.

                 Yours for the glory of the Lord
                          Alec
