Connecting with William

I got to have dinner with William today. He's a Longshoreman at the Long Beach Port. He has such a sense of joy it's amazing. It was refreshing just to be with him. He shared with me about the Longshoremen and some of the things that the Lord is doing there. They have Bible studies at the Memorial Hall - that's the place where all the Longshoremen meet every day for work. It'll be great to have a prayer vanguard here. I also got to share with him more about what we're doing in the city through Kingdom Causes. He's going to inquire about having intercessors go to the Memorial Hall to pray over the place and also some of the Longshoremen who are believers.

After meeting with him, I spoke to Chim on the phone. He's a chaplain for the International Seafarers Association. He and his wife do awesome ministry at the Port. They minister to people on the ships while they are docked at the Port. They also lead Bible studies and give tours to visiting people. Really awesome work. When the Lord opens the door for us to be able to have an on-site prayer vanguard there at the Port, I'd like to have Chim and his wife there along with the Longshoremen so that the intercessors can bless their ministry.
