Thurman Update #11 (Written Nov. 21st, 2005)

Greetings from the Thurman Family that has just increased its size by one. Thursday evening at 7:06 P.M. Keilah Willo Thurman was born. Her name means stronghold of Freedom. Willo, which means, freedom is also the name of my grandma who is an amazing woman of God whom our family can trace our faith in Christ back to her. The verse God gave us for Keilah is II Corinthians 3:17, 18

Antioch Network Updates:

January
I will be flying to Germany for two weeks for an important meeting with AN staff and council. It will also be a good time to re-connect with the emerging community that our family is involved with there in Germany.

March
My wife and I continue to pray about the possibility of going to Senegal with Mark Snelling the President of Antioch Network who has been working with the Wolof peoples. Click this link if you want to know more about the Wolof: (http://www.africaguide.com/culture/tribes/wolof.htm)
The work here is similar to the work we are involved with in both Germany and Cyprus.

June, July, & August
We are also continuing to make plans for our summer, participating in the work in Germany going on its fifth year, this will be our third year of involvement. And our second year of joining the Cyprus work which is in its third year.

Current Ministry
We continue to work closely with George and Hanna, Dan Kane, & Warren Stewart and their families who are part of the AN team that is working on the Internationalization of AN and the vision of Apostolic Centers.
We also have been involved in a work here in Phoenix networking with local churches to establish a cooperation of 24x7 prayer. (Click this link if you would like to know more about 24x7prayer, AN has been networking with this ministry: http://www.24-7prayer.com/)
With the hope of participating in the establishment of an urban 24x7 prayer center that would be similar to the apostolic center vision that we are involved with in both Germany and Cyprus.
