Praise and Prayer Requests

( November 27, 2008 )

Hello friends of Prayer,

We are so thankful that you have continued on this journey with Desert Hope Ministries by keeping your commitment to pray as God leads you. Over the last month, Janelle has been extremely busy with speaking engagements and has felt your covering in prayer.  Thank you for standing in the gap in prayer as she does what God has called her to do!
Give THANKS to the Lord our GOD and KING, for HIS love endures forever!

In October, Janelle travelled to North Carolina to speak at the Truth Ministries conference.  Although the attendance was low, those that were there were ready with open hearts to taken in everything.  It was interesting to see that 80% of those who attended were female.  This is a big difference from most conferences where Janelle speaks.  Kelly travelled with Janelle for this trip and they were able to spend time with friends after the conference relaxing and having a great time. Isn’t it wonderful how GOD puts plans together so perfectly.
Give THANKS to the HOLY ONE for HIS love endures forever!

While in NC, Janelle also did two video recordings on Homosexuality that will be part of a larger project they are putting together for people who want help or people who want to know how to help those who are struggling.  There are many places where help is not available and this project hopes to bridge that gap.   After pushing through tremendous spiritual warfare, they were able to complete the recordings. 
Give THANKS and PRAISE to GOD for the miracle of this project.

 In November Janelle spoke at the NARTH conference in Denver.  It was an AMAZING time.  For the first time since Janelle has been speaking at NARTH, men attended her workshops.  Thirty of them – PRAISE GOD!!!!  The workshops were wonderful and Janelle really felt the Lord’s anointing during all of her presentations. 

Janelle made two very important connections while at the NARTH conference.  First she was able to reunite with COURAGE (the Catholic version of Exodus) from Mexico City and 2nd she was able to meet the Priest in charge of COURAGE.  They have invited her to come back to Mexico City and speak next year.
Give THANKS to the ONE who makes a way in the wilderness – that all who seek HIM will find HIM as HIS love endures forever.

A couple weeks ago, Janelle and her team held another Mother’s Retreat for mom’s that have daughters involved in Homosexuality.  It was an AWESOME weekend and the moms were transformed and truly released to LOVE their daughters no matter what.
GIVE THANKS with a GREATFUL heart as HIS love endures forever!

CURRENT PRAYER REQUESTS:

Janelle sent out a letter regarding the financial situation of Desert Hope ministries and some donations have come in, but it would truly be a blessing to get out of DEBT.  Please pray that the Lord would confirm in the hearts of those considering a donation and bless them as they bless Desert Hope Ministries.

Please pray for Janelle as she seeks direction from the Lord on HOW to step forward with:

  •  “Restoring the Glory”
  • Marketing her lectures
  • Redesigning the corporate structure of Desert Hope Ministries and Janelle Hallman and Associates.
  • Pray also for Janelle as she begins the networking to promote her book.  All the feedback that Janelle has received from her book has been positive – PRAISE GOD!  Word about the book is spreading by word of mouth with NO advertising, so please pray that Janelle would make the necessary connections to build bridges and open doors for promoting this AWESOME BOOK.

I pray that your heart is encouraged by all that God is doing with your prayers. May the Lord Bless you and Keep you and make HIS face shine upon you and may you truly know that HIS love for YOU endures forever!
Blessings and Peace,
Deb Martin
