An invitation to pray

The family of YWAM Orlando I have joined here in Florida has been growing, from 14 full-time volunteers to now over 60 in the past 8 years. At any one time, 180 students, workers and their families may be eating meals at our location that was designed for one quarter that number. To house the flood of new missionary students, we have bought 15 houses in surrounding neighborhoods.
My role is to keep the flood coming, and rather than turning young missionaries away, we are committed to expand YWAM's physical capacity to keep pace with the demand. Michael and Darla Berg, YWAM Orlando Directors, have been at the point of this effort to find a location that can train, house, and feed such a movement here, in central Florida. Recently, some wonderful things have happened with some great potential. As you pray for me, would you include the prayer requests outlined in the following letter as well?

A letter sent by Michael Berg this week:


Greetings,
Darla and I wanted to let you know that the staff and students here at YWAM Orlando have started a 24 - 7 prayer time which began Friday April 18th and will continue at least until we see the release of the campus. We are praying about the upcoming meetings that we will have with the owners of the 199-acre property. We believe that God desires to train literally thousands of missionaries in the upcoming years from this campus.

We have been negotiating the purchase of this property for 2 years and the recently planned meeting was postponed by the owners. The reason for the postponement is to allow them to approach the county one more time to see if they can sell it as a residential development, which would produce far more money for them.

Please pray that:

1. God would move on the country commissioners to declare clearly that this property was committed for ministry purposes and that they must honor this commitment

2. God would give us wisdom as we continues to negotiate

3. God would provide all the money necessary to purchase and renovate this campus

Thanks for standing with us!
Michael & Darla Berg
