Prayer Update - 12 July 2011

These are the needs we are praying for this week:

• Open Bible Stories - the project is progressing well and we are aiming for a target date by when we hope to have the English version finished: September 1. Distant Shores Media will be represented at the Transform World Global Summit & the 4/14 Conference in the first week of September. Please pray that God would raise up people to help us finish the stories, record them as audio, create videos and mobile applications in time for the conference. We are building on a good foundation and it will be a challenge to make that deadline, but one we can make if the Lord opens the door.
• Mobile phone developer - We are grateful for the mobile phone developer who is volunteering his time to create Java ME apps that will install Door43 content on the low-end mobile phones that make up nearly 2/3 of the phones in use around the world today. Please pray for wisdom and perseverance for him as he writes the code and creates innovative solutions to enable the global church to get access to the discipleship resources in the Door43 project.
• Partnerships with churches - We are asking the Lord to continue to open doors for DSM to get connected with more churches so that we can work together in the task of "making disciples of all nations." Specifically, please pray for more opportunities to share with more congregations as well as more opportunities to serve local churches that are on a global mission. We are excited about the tools and resources that are being developed by DSM and the Door43 team, and we want to make them effective and useful to churches and believers all over the world, starting right here.

Thank you for praying with us!
