Chris Mercer In Romania 2006 Evangelistic Whispers Concert Tour
I minister here in a very traditional atmosphere... where women neither preach or lead.. but I have been invited in.....and given an open door
well maybe I should take up cross stitch again...lolol...but no I know this time God has sent me to break down those walls of tradition , gentle as a dove...for the sake of the youth and those who yearn for the Spirit and for more than they have and my voice, via the Holy Spirit, will be used to do this ....
This is also a faith mission...I receive no payment or expenses, we must fund flights, petrol , publicity and accomodation in part so do cover us in prayer that our resourses be met.I travel with Howard Measham from Seer Ministries UK and Ionel Dragan who heads up the Romanian team....
I am praying that it will be a value time of experience and joy both on the tour and amidst the presence of God. The Romanians involved are really running with this, so it is exciting.
Feel free to share the tour with your church , the more prayer the better..
blessings and much to love to you Chris
P.S. Folk in church who may wish to support the mission can do so by visiting the Whispers Foundation page by clicking the link on the left...for more details.
