Hello everyone and Happy November! As we approach Thanksgiving we find that we have much to be thankful for and hope you do as well. Please join us as we continue to pray for the New Wilmington Mission Conference and we thank YOU for all your dedication.
* Attendance - Please pray that lives are touched and hearts are opened as we strive to meet our goal of 1050 this year.
* Publicity - This is the key to getting the desired attendance. We ask that you particularly pray that we are able to reach youth groups and youth who have never attended.
* Speakers and Leaders - Please pray for continued recruitment efforts and even at this early point that the Lord will be preparing the words they are to speak.
In addition to these prayers we have a few prayer requests from the NWMC family:
1. Margie Stock is in the hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. She was weak, with a heaviness on her heart, very low blood pressure and heart rate, and extremely high blood sugar. An update indicated that she did not have a heart attack, and her blood sugar has improved some. Please pray for the Lord's healing.
2. Rev. Fred Horst had a heart attack on August 25, and on November 10th he had another one. Please pray for his healing.
Thank you for all you do and may you have a wonderful holiday.
AMDG, Caitlin

Dear Don,
The first "Chosen Generation Missions Conference" was a great success!
We saw the Lord move in a great and mighty way. Even though the
overall attendance was much smaller than what we had envisioned when we
began planning the conference in 2007, we were thankful to the Lord for
the 70 people who registered for the conference. On the last day of
the conference, we had over 100 people who came to attend the music
concert which we had that afternoon as well as the evening session.
It was encouraging to see the enthusiasm among the young Malawian in
regards to missions. The Lord is indisputably at work in Malawi.
There is a great movement of the Spirit of the Lord in the hearts and
lives of His children and across the land. I praise the Lord for
allowing me the blessing of seeing that and being a part of it in a
small way. I trust that in a few years, the world will see wave after
wave of Malawian Christians going out for battle against the forces of
darkness all around the world. That is indeed my prayer and the prayer
of many who participated in the conference as organizers and delegates.
The Lord's plans are always best. I enjoyed sharing the pulpit with
two Godly men whom I have known for a number of years (Charles Morris,
President and Speaker for Haven Ministries, as well as Steven Lungu,
Evangelist and International Director for African Enterprise). Both of
these men are God-fearing men. They truly love the Lord and desire to
see the salvation of the lost. They indeed sounded the trumpet loudly
and clearly - pleading with men and women to be "reconciled to
God...for He made Him who knew no sin to become sin on our behalf in
order that we would become the righteousness of God in Him" 2
Corinthians 5:21. As you already know, the theme of the conference was
"Chosen to Proclaim" taken out of 1 Peter 2:9, "But you are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own
possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called
you out of darkness into His marvelous light." A passionate plea was
given out to all who were in attendance to embrace the call of God upon
all of our lives, namely, "to proclaim the excellencies of Him who
called us out of darkness into His marvelous light." The Lord says in
Malachi 1:11, "For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name
will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be
offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will e great
among the nations, says the Lord of hosts." Every delegate left the
conference with a strong sense of call to give themselves to the work
of making God's Name great among the nations for this is indeed the
call and essence of missions.
I praise the Lord to have been given the blessing and privilege of
organizing the first missions conference ever in Malawi (and maybe
Southern Africa). My desire and prayer is that there will be many more
which will follow in the years to come to the glory and praise of the
Lord of heaven and to the blessing and salvation of His people.
Thank you and NWMC for all the support that you have given us to make
this conference dream a reality. The Lord has used your prayer,
financial support and encouragement to launch a movement and a mighty
work whose ripple effects will literary impact the world for Christ.
In addition to this, I would also like to thank you for sending the
summer service team to us this year. It was a blessing to have them at
the conference. I personally thank the Lord for each one of them and I
trust that the Lord will use the time that they spent in Malawi to
enrich their own spiritual lives and guide them in the way that they
should walk in the days ahead as they seek to serve Him and to "grow in
the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ" who has redeemed us
from the curse of the law and died in order that we may live. Thank
you and may the Lord bless you. Please pass my regards to everyone at
the conference this year. I pray that all will see Christ exalted
above all, in all and through all the speakers this year!
We have already began to think about; pray for and plan next years'
conference. Lord willing, we will hold the conference from July 1 to
July 6, 2009. On behalf of Joy to the World Ministries and the team
which will be organizing next year's conference, I would like to extend
an invitation to all of the NWMC family to come and join us as we
continue pursuing God's call upon our lives to "proclaim the
excellencies" of His Name to the world that is lost in darkness.
Thank you again for everything! May the Lord richly bless you all.
Love in Christ,
Fletcher
