VOB News April 2015 “30-60-100”

000104

On February 7, we started “30 Days of Worship & Prayer” at P.o.W.  Last month we told you we felt impressed by the Lord to extend it to 60 days through Easter.  WELL, since then, Carol felt impressed to extend it to 100 days, taking us through to Pentecost! This has been a blessing, although not without its challenges. Please pray for continued stamina for Carol and all those worship leaders participating.

Also, we have a couple of engagements booked the next couple of weeks. Wayne is sharing about the Mexico ministry at a local church, Father’s House Church, ( April 26th) and Carol is teaching a, “Spontaneous Worship Workshop”,  on hearing the Lord prophetically for spontaneous worship times (May 2nd – See flyer below for more info).

Our Dia de los Niños (Day of the Children – celebrated in many Latin countries) was a great success. For several weeks leading up to it, we collected 2 truck loads of brand new toys from a local organization, which had left overs from Christmas. We also got a last minute donation of a truck load of 200+ Easter Baskets (see photo with Wayne & Carol -right) thanks to Bridge of Hope. Our Chiropractor friends, Hands for Life,  had their team of Drs join the festivities. Carol and team led worship in both Spanish and English. There was plenty of food to eat, and plenty to be distributed to homes.  And finally, the day ended with an evangelistic clown act. Our partner Vicente and his team at Impacto de Fe really worked hard to make sure the kids were celebrated and reached for Christ!

VOB News October 2014 “Be the VOICE of the Bride”

For several months now, the ‘worship’ side of Voice of the Bride has been growing.  This month, we sponsored a 12 hour day of worship, called “Twelve for the Tribes”, which just happened to fall on the high holy day of Yom Kippur.  Yom Kippur was the day when the Jewish high priest went into the holy of holies, to make the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the people, for the year.  Jesus, of course, is THE ultimate sacrifice.  So it was an honor & privilege to do these 12 hours of worship, on this day.   We had worship leaders from around San Diego county, participate.  Worship went up.  Prayers went up.  Dance & art were a part of the day long event.  People from all over the county came & worshiped.  It was pretty cool!

VOB collected non-perishable food items, throughout the 12 hour day, as the ‘compassion’ side of our ministry.   We do this regularly, during our monthly P.lace o.f W.orship, worship & intercession gatherings.  Food is collected, for distribution to those we work with in Tijuana.  This month, we collected several boxes, through the “Twelve for the tribes”  worship day.  We love this part!

 As part of our worship mandate, we are getting to participate in many worship events that are going on around our county.  There is quite an outpouring of worship, going on in San Diego, for which we are very thankful.  Laboring in this particular field for many years, it is a joy to see more worship coming forth.  A few months ago, we were honored to be a part of a worship & prayer event that our missionary friends, David & Hilary Overton, did in Cebu, Philippines.  We did this via Skype.  Carol led worship, here at our house, with some prayer partners coming to participate.  Via Skype, we worshiped & prayed with staff members at Glory Reborn.  Truly, this was an honor to do!

We also had the honor of hosting Kathleen Dillard, in September, as she came and shared with us about what the Lord is doing in India, and what the Lord wants to do here, in the U.S.A., through prayer and worship.  Many folks were touched & the worship and intercession that came forth for the nations was super powerful!  We often pray for Kathleen, and those she ministers to in No. India, during P.o.W.  So it was great to have her here, in person.

Thank you for your part in contributing to what VOB is doing.  Your prayers, giving & encouragement, mean a great deal…..May it all be for the glory of the Lamb of GOD!!

Love Wayne & Carol
