I want to thank so many of you for your concern and prayers as you have comforted me through this chemo journey I am on. If you would like to stay updated on this journey please visit the Kathy J. Coleman website at – www.kathyjcoleman.com/treatment.html. I keep weekly updates on this website and there is a Message Board on this site also. You are each a blessing in my life.
GREAT NEWS! During the month of February, Melinda and I will be working with Kirsten Cutsinger in producing a MDOP Coordinator Training Video. This is something that we know will be of great benefit for each MDOP Coordinator.
We want to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to Kirsten Cutsinger, Program Director for the local Inspiration Network. Her insight and direction in this project is truly a blessing from God. As soon as this video is completed, we will notify you so you can contact Melinda to mail you a copy to prepare you for MDOP 2008.
This rest of this MDOP Update will be dedicated to the wonderful stories we have received from MDOP Coordinators sharing about their recent Mom’s Day of Prayer. Melinda and I are so thankful for each of you! What a blessing you are to your communities and to the world.
- From Theresa – “Truly we had a wonderful day. Each of the ladies that I asked to pray at the beginning of each hour were wonderful in their presentation and prayer. We were blessed to have so many of our members present to assist where needed. I envision contacting each church in our association and each church of the various denominations throughout our community, identify the person who pursued MDOP, and coordinate with each to have an exciting experience on January 19th, 2008, next year’s MDOP date.”
- From June Ellen – “We had 59 ladies present that were strong prayer warriors.”
- From Jeri – “It was a great day! We had groups of women from different churches come together and pray for the children of their churches. God, as always, moved us from one area of need to another as different groups of women came in.”
- From Merry Beth – “MDOP – I can only say today was such a blessing …..I listened to the women…some just praying and weeping silently…others pouring out their hearts verbally. I was there from about 12 noon until 1:30 p.m. The room was dotted with women all over the auditorium. I felt as though I had entered into the unseen battlefield with Satan, yet Jehovah Nissi was leading the way in prayer. God caused me to pray as I prayed…for most of the first hour, I was simply silent, not led to pray aloud at all…then it came….it was a precious powerful day.”
- From Debbie – “I felt blessed today taking time from my busy life to reflect on God’s desire for my children and their mates. God has a plan for everyone and a praying parent goes a long way. Thank you for having a heart for the generations to come by founding the MDOP. I pray this is an ongoing event for our church.”
- From MaryAnn – “Saturday was so wonderful! I can’t even begin to tell you the work God did in our church. Our Prayer Bowl was a blessing to so many. The mom that helped at the Prayer Bowl table said that women visited with her about their concerns as they wrote their requests down. She took these requests home with her afterwards for her and her husband, the Assistant Pastor, to pray over. At the end of our last hour, a Pastor from another church closed us in prayer with everyone at the altar placing their hands on the Prayer Bowl praying with him. Kathy, I can’t tell you how blessed I was by that day. I told everyone at the end of the day that I know I have never prayed for that long without stopping. But I also know that it will not be my last time to do so. I could feel God. Our Prayer Leaders were so moving.”
- From Michelle – “Thanks goes to 60 plus ladies from 16 different churches who made our first MDOP a blessing to many today! God was glorified in all the prayers that were prayed. Everyone was such an encouragement to me. Another church has eagerly agreed to host MDOP in January 2008. One dear sweet lady came out in tears saying, “Thank you so much for having this at your church. I felt the presence of the Lord here today. I am so thankful for the hundreds of names that were brought before the throne today. A lady from the City Team Youth Ministries came to pray for the 200 children she ministers to and asked for bookmarks to give to each of them. We will be providing her with all these bookmarks.. What a blessed day!”
Are these stories not wonderful? I am so very blessed as I sit here and type each of these stories for you to read and ponder over. There are many more stories to come so I will share them with you in the next couple of weeks.
God bless you and thank you for your support of the Worldwide MDOP movement!
“Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for GOD’S voice in everything you do,
everywhere you go;
He’s the one who will keep you on track.”
(Proverbs 3:5-6, The Message),
Love in Christ - Kathy
