In particular, Jim has been burdened to pray, and to lead others in intercessory prayer, for pastors, their families and churches.The highlight of Acts413 Ministries is city wide prayer gatherings held throughout the United States. They serve as a catalyst to mobilize the body of Christ to intercede for our pastors and their families. Christians from every denomination, socioeconomic background, culture, and color to worship and pray through scripture in the name of Jesus Christ. While the prayers may cover many topics, there is always a special focus on interceding for pastors, their families, and churches.

She then became a full time missionary to those in need. Susie continues to lead OCI with the help of a board of directors and a multitude of volunteers.Susie joined First Baptist Church Dallas in 1982, within months of arriving in the United States from her home in the Philippines. She received invaluable Biblical knowledge under the teaching of the legendary Dr. W.A. Criswell, one of the godliest men she has known. She taught preschoolers for twenty (20) years at her church.Desiring to serve God and her community after the tragic death of her husband, God called Susie to give blankets to the homeless in downtown Dallas in November 1993. The homeless called her, “The Blanket Lady.” That modest beginning was the genesis of Operation Care International (OCI), which has grown to encompass multiple ministries and major events each year in Dallas, Texas as well as missions to the homeless and destitute children in nations around the world.Her guiding principle for the vision of OCI is in Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”37 min

  17. 113Episode 81: Don't Judge Jesus Because of Those He Came to Save and Heal with Austin French.It was at a church music camp at the age of 13 where Austin French’s life was changed forever. He went to camp to learn to play guitar, hoping to impress girls. Instead, Austin heard this message from one of the camp leaders: "Don’t judge Jesus on the broken people He came to save."

I wanted to write music for broken people.”He’s stayed true to that first conviction, writing songs filled with a joyful energy that calls all people, believers and unbelievers alike, to open their hearts to God’s amazing grace.In this episode with Austin French, you'll hear:-Austin's spiritual journey which led to his first major breakthrough...05:30-Journal entry at age 8: "I'll never be a Christian"...08:15-Feeling like damaged goods after being rejected by the local congregation...11:01-Relationship with Jesus leads to forgiveness toward those who have caused great harm...14:45-"You can't hate people you pray for"...18:07-How to honestly and transparently share the gospel with those who need it...20:13-Austin's relationship with abusive father restored through prayer and time...23:40-How Austin gets into a creative flow...25:22-And much more!Resources mentioned:Jesus Can by Austin French31 min

  21. 117Episode 77: How the Heavenly and Earthly Father Showed Geoff Kirby the Example to Leading a Righteous LifeToday's episode features a one-of-a-kind interview with Geoff Kirby. Geoff is in the publishing business these days, and is the rare person who is openly transparent about spiritual warfare he has personally fought. No, we're not talking about casting aside negative thoughts about losing a job or girlfriend, although that's important in its own right. We're talking about actual encounters with demons, exorcisms in the name of Jesus; that sort of thing.Pretty intense stuff, right? Not something we'd prefer to talk openly about on podcasts, but Geoff realized if his story can help others, it's an injustice not to share it. The juicy stuff is inside the podcast, but suffice it to say it's the love, patience and perseverance of both Geoff's heavenly and earthly father that proved to be the pivotal influence in living a life devoted to God and raising a godly family.In this episode, you'll learn:-The impact Geoff's father had on his upbringing and into adulthood...05:47-How an experience watching The Lion King helped Geoff process his emotions as a child...10:12-Retreating into an unhealthy place emotionally after a major move...14:13-A reciprocal cycle of darkness at a new school for the senior year...22:20-Becoming aware of the spiritual darkness all around us...24:50-Scriptural instruction on engaging in spiritual warfare...32:55-A divine challenge to choose life or death...36:54-The world wants your children dead: spiritually and eventually physically...41:15-The war never stops, even after (or especially after) a specific victory is achieved...47:23-Leaving a legacy by leading by example...53:34-And much more!About the guest:Geoff grew up in a Christian household, with a father working with Christ-based non-profit ministries year round; despite this they were never religious as a family. After a decade of struggle, culminating in a spiritual battle for his soul, Geoff found hope and strength in Jesus. What followed was a fifteen year battle between what is right and what is easy. Running a record label, artist management, co-producing independent metal bands, and transitioning to podcast production, Christian broadcasting, graphic design, website design, & digital publishing, as well as a failed marriage and fighting to keep his second, Geoff has been through the ringer. As he approaches 40, with 3 beautiful daughters, a God-fearing wife, and a cat, Geoff spends his time using his creative skills and talents helping Christian ministries approach and surpass the next level to reach their communities for the Kingdom of God, much like his father before him.
