Sarah Kaufman Prayer Project Complete!

I finished praying for Sarah Kaufman's salvation while I was making breakfast.  I have found that, if I wait until nighttime to pray, I will fall asleep.  However, if I pray in the morning or early afternoon, I will do it successfully.  Additionally, I am going on long walks now.  This allows me to pray as well as get some fresh air and exercise.  These walks allowed me to catch up on sessions which I missed. 

I will still pray for MMA fighters.  That being said, God is leading me to shift my focus elsewhere.  October will be the last month in which I pray for an MMA fighter for fifteen minutes a day.  After that, I will scale it back to five minutes a day.  Starting in November, my fifteen-minute prayer sessions will be for the royal family and political leadership of Great Britain.  I studied abroad there when I was in college and would love to see a revival of the gospel in that wonderful nation.  I have faith that, through earnest and steadfast prayer, such a revival will come to past. 

Sarah Kaufman Prayer Project Update #1

So far, I have prayed for Sarah Kaufman eleven times.  The Holy Spirit has led me to ask God to have Ronda Rousey give her the gospel.  I also asked God to give Sarah Kaufman the strength to forgive someone who has seriously hurt her in the past.  I cannot say for certain what this particular hurt is.  After all, even though I am one of her fans, I don't know her personally.  Suffice it to say that, if it is as serious as I am led to believe, then she will need all the emotional strength that she needs to forgive it. 

I am firmly convinced that Rousey will become saved and lead many others to Christ.  Will she be instrumental in Kaufman's salvation?  I have no clue.  All I know is that God will reveal His Will in due time.

September MMA Prayer Project: Sarah Kaufman!

So far this month, I've prayed twice for former Strikeforce Bantamweight Queen Sarah Kaufman (pictured on the right).  The only blemishes on her record are submission losses to Marloes Coenen and Ronda Rousey.  I love this project because Kaufman is the first WMMA competitor whom I really followed.  In particular, I enjoyed watching the footage of her powerbombing Roxanne Modaferri.  While I am disappointed that her showdown with Sara McMann got scrapped due to the latter's injury, I am looking forward to her UFC debut against Jessica Eye later this year.  Meanwhile, I will be praying that Jesus Christ makes His own debut in her life for this month's MMA Prayer Project!

Fallon Fox Prayer Project Results

I prayed a total of 26 times for Fallon Fox.  During the end of August, life went pretty nuts, so I missed the last five days.  As I prayed, Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche kept coming to mind.  I have a strong feeling that Rousey will lead Fox to Christ after her own salvation, but that's all it is, a feeling.  As far as why Carmouche kept coming up, who knows?  God will reveal it on His timing.

I'm disappointed that I didn't finish, and was tempted to do a make-up session earlier today.  That being said, I didn't want it to interfere with the start of my September prayer project, so I decided just to mark it as a failure and let it go.  Sometimes you just have to move on to what's next.
