JANUARY 23, 2012 :: Chinese New Year festivities in Chiang Mai City, Warawot Market. Don't mess with the Chinese, they are everywhere! :)

One of my favorite quirky Asian desserts -- black grass jelly, makes me feel at home. Here in Thailand, they eat it with lots of shaved ice & sweet Carnation milk.

November 2011 - Los Angeles

It's Thanksgiving Week in the USA. Before heading to the Call2All, I am thankful for the warmth of family -- complete with a traditional dim sum & tea time with my Auntie Michelle, Lianne, Charlene; Auntie Tanya not pictured. Thank you for another great memory and quality time shared together. Love, JoAnne

Monumental Gathering in Egypt for Such a Time as This

Dear Friends, 

Check out this Youtube video of last Friday night's all-night prayer in the famous cave church in Cairo. Over 70,000! attended, and because Sat7 televised it live, it is believed that millions may have joined in via satellite. What impressed me was the unity across denominations (the Coptic Orthodox and other churches), the call to repentance for the Church, and the call to glorify Jesus. There was a special segment of blessing for their enemies, and prayer for their nation. 

You may not understand the Arabic, but you can get a feel for the Spirit of the event by watching selected portions of this clip. Everyone keeps saying God is up to something in Egypt and in the Middle East, and I believe that this will happen soon and we have to be ready to be a part of God's move in the Middle East. There will be a hard time for the Christians in the Middle East, and persecution, but God will show up in the middle of all that and he will be glorified in the Middle East. 

Joy of the Lord upon You, 
Sameh&JoAnne

The 20/20 Vision

There are over 160 people groups worldwide, of over a million people, who are completely unreached. Since most of these groups do not have the scriptures in their language, and large portions of their populations are illiterate, audio-visual tools are extremely powerful in communicating the gospel -- especially films made specifically in their heart-language and culture. 

Create International is now partnering with ministries, churches and Christian media professionals in Hollywood willing to commit to making 2 films per year for the next 10 years. At least 8 partners x 2 films x 10 years = 160 film for those 160 people groups!

In this way, by the year 2020, every single Least Evangelized Mega People (LEMP) group will have an indigenous audio-visual Gospel presentation in a way they can see, hear, understand and embrace as their own.
