Schools of Tyrannus

I love our fierce Middle Eastern fellow workers.  Most of us would respond to opposition by hunkering down; however, they are responding like Paul did in Acts 19:9-10.  “But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. This took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.”  Rather than hunkering down, they are starting two “Schools of Tyrannus” to equip and launch Middle Eastern missionaries into some of the hardest nations in the region.  The first school begins in January.  Please pray with us, “Lord of Armies, we call down Your blessing on these schools, and pray that all who live around our fellow workers there will hear the word of the Lord.”

P.S. God is amazing us once again!  At this point we’ve received about $44K of our $50K budget gap, and gifts are still coming both in the mail and online at www.fromthelyonsden.com.
