Tears of the oppressed

Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun; I saw the tears of the oppressed and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors and they have no comforter. -Ecclesiastes 4:1

Please pray for my brother Matt, his wife Thanita, Nisha and Nic. Matt is filming in the jungles of Burma right now. It is a dangerous project but one that God is going to use to bring comfort and help to those weeping under the hands of injustice.

One of the awesome things that I look forward to being able to do now, is connecting with people that want relationship and join them in supporting mission work that we can link up with. I look forward to having Matt join us at Jacob's Well and him knowing he is loved, supported and covered in prayer by our church and blog community.

I truly believe film, internet and digital information is a tool in the hands of God right now to bring light into dark places and I long to be a part of that cutting edge advance against the gates of the enemy.

Jacob's Well will be involved in relieving the tears of the oppressed by engaging in the evolving media revolution that is empowering works of justice to become flash points of practical ministry in little parts of the world like ours. It is exciting to be able to join them!

So please pray for Matt and his family too, as he faces danger for love, love of God and love of people. It is what we are called to do, isn't it?
