Putting It All In Perspective
Just a few days now until the Passion 2010 Live Link and our tribe is growing! As of this post, 5595 people have RSVP’d, and we think there are tons more of you linking in who haven’t let us know yet.
We’re excited to have more people joining the Link every minute, but realize every number represents somebody…somebody with massive potential to make Jesus famous in this generation.
With that in mind, we couldn’t be happier about this comment left on the last Live Link Blog post:

Working with the Bozo people here in Mali, but I’ll be listening on the 14th.
That, my friends, puts the Live Link, and Passion 2010, in total perspective.
Mali, in case you don’t know, is a land-locked West African nation considered one of the world’s poorest. Among several unreached people groups there are the Bozo, predominantly Muslim people who live along the Niger River and number (with all Bozo dialects) in the hundreds of thousands.
In the midst of the Bozo tonight is a light shinning, the face of Christ with skin in the person of someone named Hannah, one life extending His heart in the darkness.
Right on to that.
We are so looking forward to seeing every single face that’s going to be on the other side of this screen next Monday night. And we can’t wait to all be united as we pray for you, Hannah, and others like you around the globe!
Shine on,
Louie

Looking forward to the livelink too! Trusting and believing that it will be a great nite because we have a great God.

Wow, never in my life did I believe that nearly 6000 people would be praying for the Bozo, it is overwhelming to see how God uses our insignificant and trivial efforts and turns them into something massive to be used for his fame and glory. Thank you guys for your prayers and shine on wherever you are!

My heart is breaking for Hannah. May God keep her in the palm of his hand through this difficult time. I have been there and God is with you and His grace will see you through. Continue to lean on Him.

To Louie: Just my thoughts on perspective…we may feel discouraged when we don’t see results (i.e. no one RSVP-ing for the Live Link the first few days) but we have a different visual periphery than God (who created us!). Sometimes we remember and sometimes we forget, but we should never forget that at first we may not see the whole picture. A practical example is this: Moses met God on Mt. Sinai. Picture God on this mountain; he can see a vast amount more than we can when we’re on land! He always sees the whole picture while we may not yet see it.
To Hannah: God uses every situation, bad or good (bad and good being divided in our head by our human thought process), to strengthen, mold, and shape us. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family during this tough time.

Don’t know if you’ll ever read this…but, I just wanted you to know I heard about your mom tonight on the “live link” and want you to know…you and your family are in my prayers…as are the Bozo people in Mali…
I read the blog a few days back; about what you are doing with the Bozo people and thought it was really Awesome!
I know that our Awesome God and Father in heaven is so proud of what you have been doing for His fame and Glory in Mali!
Also…I know He is holding you and your family in His loving arms right this very moment…and I pray you feel His embrace…
May God give you and your family all that you need at this time…
Praying for you…
your sister in Christ…

Hi Hannah,
Dont know if you will be able to read this but a few of the university students of Melbourne, Australia heard about you on the live link will be praying for you and the bozo people too.
I’ll be going to church on Sunday and I’ll be getting the rest of the university ministry to keep you in our prayers. Keep up the good work you are doing in Mali, I’m really inspired by your passion to make Jesus famous in Mail. I’m really sorry to hear about your mum. May the Holy Spirit will be your comfort at this time of grief.
PS: I’ve added you on my post-it pad prayer wall… Praying for you always…
Your sister-in-Chris

Passion2010 team,
Thank you thank you so much for allowing us to link up with you last Monday night! It was amazing and here there were hugs, tears, and many many prayers for Hannah, for the Bozo people in Mali, for our local campuses, and for our city! We pray for revival to break out and sweep across our nation and throughout the world! Father set a fire in our hearts and show us ways every day to make your Name famous right where you’ve planted us! Amen!

Hey Louie and Passion Team!
Hannah told all of us here in Mali, about what you guys did with the prayer right before she left to head home. I tried very hard to stay up that night to record the live link so that everyone here and Hannah when she returns would be able to watch it, although that was a very long day and I didn’t quite make it (since it started at 1230a our time). Also, we tried watching the replay today, but the internet doesn’t work too well during the day time. As I told Hannah I would try to record the event, as she was getting on a plane, and was unsuccessful in doing so. I was wondering if there is anyway i can get a copy for those here and her when she returns to see this event. (She may have already seen it, but I am assuming it was a bit hectic and heartbreaking when she arrived home, so it case she hasn’t I would like for her to be able to watch it.) Sorry I am having to blog this, but I couldn’t find an email contact.
Thank You, Rachel
