After finishing a planning meeting for our time here in China, our friend Philip took us to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Your prayers for the meetings here are greatly needed and appreciated!

24 days.

I leave the United States today for a 24 day jaunt through Asia. Alex and I will be holding 6 Leading Steward’s Courses over the next 3.5 weeks.

Singapore.

Malaysia.

Indonesia.

Three cities in China. Stay tuned for more updates on how we are raising up leaders to turn consumers into contributors in their nations.

Right now I’m in Colorado Springs, short flight to Denver, longer flight to Portland, much longer flight to Tokyo, medium flight to Singapore.

Here we go.

Every so often I meet people I want to highlight for prayer. Kypyl and Aymee are just such a couple. Attending the Leading Stewards Course in Bulgaria, I discovered that they owned a mortuary company.

Aymee cornered me at one point during the two-day course and asked me for counsel for their business. They are committed to being honest and trustworthy in their business dealings, however their competitors are gaining an edge because of their willingness to cheat.

This couple is a typical example of how hard it is for honest people to make it in business in much of the world. While I couldn’t give any specific advice, my heart went out to these people. Will you join me in praying for them? Pray that they keep their commitments to continue to operate their business honestly, and pray for incredible wisdom-for new strategies and creativity-to help them succeed.

..came in contact with Crown over ten years ago through Larry Burkett’s book, Your Finances in Changing Times. Some secondary publisher translated it into Bulgarian in the late 1990’s. With it began his journey toward financial freedom. When he discovered that Crown was officially coming to his nation, he made sure to attend the catalytic event as well as this Leading Stewards Course.

He is just one example of how God is preparing people ahead of time to champion the cause of stewardship. Join me in praying for Bisser as he works through the course over the next ten weeks. Pray that he is able to make an impact in his nation as he seeks to teach others.
