One of Reviving Nation's main calls from the Lord is to help empower the Church to fulfill its Kingdom mandate to finish the work of Christ in their nation. So, thank you for praying because while we were in Rio de Janeiro (mainly in City of God and Nelopolis) we were given the opportunity to minister at 11 different gatherings, which impacted many different leaders representing a vast number of churches in the region. We are so honored to be able to serve the people of God in this way - encouraging them in a life set apart to God and in His covenant love relationship with us.
One of our favorite times of ministry was when we were able to minister on the streets of City of God. It was an open air event in one of the most dangerous places in Brazil. The kind of testimonies that come from this type of preaching are some of the most precious things to my heart. People were bringing beer bottles and laying them on the altar, people were laying drugs on the altar, vowing to turn from their wicked ways. People received the Salvation of the Lord, knowing that it is going to cause “problems” because of the way it will now affect their gang affiliations, family members, etc. Who does these kind of acts apart from the Lord? But praise be to the Lord God Almighty! He is mighty to save! There were also many believers there with us, rising up to contend for a lasting breakthrough that will transform this community by the power of God.
PLEASE PRAY: I leave for my next mission in less than three weeks. I am partnering with Bishop Likavo, who is a national leader in Kenya. God has called many of the pastors to contend for the spiritual atmosphere of their nation. Over the next two years we will be going to all 47 counties in Kenya to build prayer altars and seek to help create an atmosphere that draws God's presence and opens the doors for TRANSFORMATIVE REVIVAL. We will be training and discipling the body of Christ and pastors in each region. This is truly seeking God for a nation's destiny. The enemy will not give this up easily, so we truly appreciate your prayers.
I will be away during Thanksgiving, and thankfully the Lord has provided for my youngest son, Luke, to join me during this time. I am also very thankful that I have such supportive friends, people who pray, and people who have sown financially into this ministry. I would not be able to do the fullness of what God has called me to do on my own, so thank you again for partnering with me.
With a thankful and grateful heart ,
Mark Daniel
