The Burden and Need

The 10/40 window is the rectangular area of North Africa, the Middle East and Asia between 10 degrees and 40 degrees north latitude. As you saw in the statistics above, there is dire need for missions in that part of the world. The 10/40 Window contains most of the worlds Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. Matthew 28:18-20 instructs us to reach the world with the Gospel and these countries are among the most in need of the Gospel and with the least support extended to them to ever hear the Gospel. The need in that part of the world is all encompassing and my heart has broken over some of these statistics and the need in these countries.   For this next season of my life I can say with certainty that the Lord wants me to go to these countries and see and understand what is happening to his church there, how Jesus is comforting His church and what God is building. My mission is to go to the countries in the 10/40 window and meet with their local churches and form relationships and offer support for their churches to further what God is doing and wanting to do in these countries amidst the persecution they go through.                                                                       

I am also pursuing God’s heart for Israel. This comes from a burden I received from the Lord regarding the Jewish nation and Jesus’ return. Jesus weeps over Jerusalem in Matthew 23:37 due to their rejection of God, however this does not indicate His cutting off of Jerusalem but instead Jesus says Jerusalem will not see Him again “Until” they accept Him and say “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” That means there will be a day when Jerusalem will welcome Jesus back. Paul tells us in Romans 11:11 that one of the reasons the Gospel has come to the Gentiles in the way it has was to bring jealousy from the Jewish people about their God. In the next verse Paul explains to the church in Rome that since the Jewish people's rejection of God brought salvation to the Gentiles in the way it has, how many more blessings would their acceptance bring? (Romans 11:12) However this is not something we can force like the Church has tried to do in the past, but is something that only God can do. Later on in that chapter, in Romans 11:26, Paul tells us very plainly that all of Israel will be saved, isn’t that an amazing promise! God is already moving magnificently among the Jewish people with more Jewish people who believe in Jesus in Israel than ever before and more young Jewish people hearing about the Gospel than ever before. Even though we have made progress in these countries there is still so much work to be done. 

My Response

Through much prayer, fasting and many divine appointments, a vision was born within myself and a close friend. That vision is forming into a ministry called Messiah Movement. Though we have multiple exciting objectives and goals, we are only on the starting line. Our first step is establishing relationships with Christians living in and building the church in Israel, both Messianic Jewish believers as well as Arab Christians. Through these relationships we can get a better understanding of what God is doing in Israel and how we can support the local leaders. The Lord has already given us sovereign connections to many leaders in Israel.

Partnering with local leaders and ministries in Israel includes: 

• Humanitarian aid

• Assisting refugees relocating to Israel from other countries

• Supporting struggling churches and ministries financially or with short-term volunteering

• Helping American Christians understand God’s heart for Israel and developing in them a burden for the nation through short term trips and media.

Through the support of many people who have bought into the vision to support the church in the nation of Israel I was given the opportunity to actually go to Israel for the first time for a month in May 2023 - June 2023. It was an amazing experience and the Lord opened many doors divinely and continued to pour a foundation for me in regards to what he wants to me to in that nation. I met many Christian leaders and was able to encourage them and ask how I could serve them, this included helping in soup kitchens, handing out food to those in need and encouraging local Christians and Christian leaders who need prayer and support. I cannot wait to see what God continues to do in the future with me in Israel.

Apart from Israel, the Lord is bringing me to other countries in the 10/40 window as well. I know of a ministry that has houses of prayer all over the Middle East and I am currently in the process of entering into a 10 month long program to connect with what the Lord is doing in the 10/40 window through them. I am also confident that the Lord will open up new doors into more countries to be able to connect these vital ministries who may need support in order to keep doing the Lords work to ministries who can give, like many of the churches in America. We will build the church in the 10/40 window, and the gates of hell will not prevail!

The Ways You Can Respond

• Pray For Me

Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:9-13 to pray for His will to be done and that’s what I desire during my time overseas. We are also told to pray unceasingly, so be in consistent prayer and intercession over me and my time within the 10/40 window as persecution is real and active in many of those countries. I have some prayer lists to allow you to pray targeted prayers and to keep them within your prayer life and they can be found in the prayer section of this site. 

• Pray For His Harvest

In Matthew 9:36-38 we are taught that although the harvest for the Gospel is plentiful, there are few laborers. Jesus then tells us to PRAY for the Lord of the Harvest to send forth laborers amongst HIS harvest. So make this a part of your prayer life, that in the same way that the Lord is sending me forth amongst his harvest where the greatest need is, pray that the Lord of the Harvest would send forth more laborers amongst his harvest and that the Gospel would take hold and be a stronghold amongst the nations.

• Supporting me Financially

When it comes to supporting the mission financially, we are taught in 2nd Corinthians to be cheerful givers, and to give from our heart whether that means giving sparingly or bountifully. That is why I ask you do not give out of obligation but out of a desire to support this mission. If you do decide to give, first, take it to prayer and ask the Lord how He wants you to give, and how much. Let the Lord speak to you on giving and do not give if you do not have a burden either for me or this mission. I would rather you not give at all because instead I would much rather you find a different mission that burdens you and for you to give there instead. If you do decide to support me in this mission, you will be partnering with me and the Lord as I pursue this mission. You will be supporting me as I live and travel to the nations and updates will be given through videos and pictures on my social media along with emails through which you can join the email list below. I know I will be provided for because those who proclaim the Gospel will be provided for by the Gospel. (1 Corinthians 9:14)

You can support me through the donation section below through a one-time gift. No matter how much you may give or do I want to emphasize the need of taking it to the Lord and making sure the Lord’s blessing is on it. Also, all funds that are given will be going to a missions account and will only be used towards expenses that are associated with missions. Thank you for your prayers and giving and if you have any more questions or want to get in contact with me, I have a form below to contact me. All donations and expenses will be made public with those who have decided to invest in the mission and so that they can see where 100% of their money is going.

• Go With Me

If this has also burdened you to an extent of giving yourself up to missions or at least exploring it, please contact me below so we can discuss that and I can get you in contact with organizations to help, we are all given the opportunity to be sent based on Matthew 28:18-20 and if you feel a desire to respond personally that is an amazing thing.
