🍞 Manna for Meditation 68

💞 Dear Royal Praying Priests, shalom!

💎 “So he said to me, ‘This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’ Then the word of the Lord came to me: ‘The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?’” (Zec 4:6-10)

It is with great pleasure that Burning Bush Prayer Network is celebrating our 5th anniversary on 23 February!

Five years ago, we started from responding to the gentle yet persistent voice of God, which challenged Rev. Jamie Tseng the founder to impact a life of prayer and mission to believers and to raise faithful intercessors for Israel. In the first week of intercession, nine prayer altars in Australia, Taiwan, Singapore and East Asia together formed a network and embarked on a glorious journey. By the power and leading of the Holy Spirit, our prayer capacity increases and prayer emphasis focuses, which resulting in a new prayer movement called "From Mountains of Heaven to Mount Zion” (H2Z). Today we concentrate our prayers on Central Asia and Israel, and we are preparing to pray for all other nations along the ancient Silk Road in the near future as the Lord leads.

Praise God that since 2015, many lost souls in Central Asia and Israel came to the knowledge of our Messiah, Yeshua through the great endeavours and extraordinary partnerships with our Indigenous Ministry Partners. We also praise God for many Evangelism Partners who support BBPN both prayerfully and financially. Most important of all, we praise God for working miraculously in your committed prayer life. Well done, good and faithful Praying Priests!

Our mission remains the same, which is to mobilise global missions empowered by a prayer movement. Our vision continues to connect global resources and teams for establishing a prayer and mission platform that transforms all nations. May each one of you be like Zerubbabel who starts well and finishes well. Not by might, not by power, but by the Spirit of God! Amen.
