2006-08-28: Candidate Lab.

"Dear Father, As Candidate Lab begins today, we are reminded of the vision of Emerald Hills as a learning center.  What a great day it will be when new missionary candidates come through the gates at the property on Old Routt Road and walk into a state-of-the-art learning center — a place where there is plenty of room to set up computers, desks at which to work, and a dining hall that can seat everyone.  Thank You for providing this place, and thank You for the plans you have for it.  Please continue to direct our steps in the fulfillment of this vision.  In the Name of Jesus, Amen."

2006-08-24: Tenth Partner for “29” Project.

Join us in giving thanks for a tenth partner who has committed to supplying a minimum of $24,000 toward our start-up prayer and facility needs at Emerald Hills.  Only 19 partners to go and then, if our figures are correct, we should be able to build that initial building that will serve as the Prayer Center/Atrium and hub for our long-term "harvest center".  In the next two years or so it would provide a much-needed and slightly more spacious home for our offices.

2006-08-23: Big Team Meeting at Emerald Hills.

Today the International Services staff is having birthday lunch, big team meeting, and prayer time at Emerald Hills.  Pray for God's blessings on this day of celebration of the lives of team members.  Pray that it will also be a time to celebrate the birthing process of Emerald Hills.  Labor has begun there, and the nine committed "29" partners are pushing the process forward so that Emerald Hills will emerge as a fully developed prayer, retreat, and learning center.  Pray for a good team meeting — a really BIG team meeting — with fifty staff persons now working out of the International Services office and meeting together today at Emerald Hills to get to know new people better and to look forward to the events that are coming up the remainder of this year.  Pray for an amazing prayer time as the IS staff walks the prayer trails at Emerald Hills and prays for over 300 Team Expansion missionaries around the world.  Pray that the staff will "Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face evermore!  Remember His marvelous works which He has done."  (I Chronicles 16:11,12)
