I asked myself (and the staff) the following questions:

How is this verse reflected in our own personal and ministry goals this year?

What are the things do we plan to do that are greater than the past years?

Is this the best time for greater things? What about the current economy of the world and of GYMN?”

Then as a team we were reminded that last year was the tightest year in GYMN as far as its funding…but one of our most fruitful years as well as far as ministry accomplishments. God cannot be limited by our limitations!!

The next verse was the prayer of a man whose name means ‘pain’ and yet was considered honorable by God–Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10.

“Bless me, bless me indeed!” (intense, superlative)

“Enlarge my borders.” (more territories, more cattle, more influence, etc)

“May Your hand be upon me.” (God’s presence, victory, power, protection)

“Keep me from evil.” (Matt 6:13)

God challenges us to do greater things (in spite of and amidst of) and He also gives whatever we ask in His name … to do greater things.

Mid-last year I was convinced in my heart that we should start a hub in Nepal as we already have a local guy who has the same vision and is able to do the work. Nepal is also strategically located next to the 2 largest populated countries, China and India. Even without clear funding, I was excited. Before the year 2009 ended, I was close to giving up of my conviction. Last week, God provided the funds to start GYMN-Nepal!!!

Blessings, expansions, victory, greater things, these are possible because the great I AM cannot be limited. He is thinking big, He is thinking global!!

May God accomplish His greater things in and through GYMN this year. May He helps us with our unbelief and prepare us for greater things. To God be the highest glory!!
