God is so good! This past 5 months has flown by, it has been a
wonderful time of planting and caring for those who are just getting to know
the Word and coming into the realization of the True and Living God through
relationship with Jesus Christ.
My focus has changed as God has been molding me into who He wants
me to be. I no longer speak to people about religion at all; I only share the
Word and the miracles I have experienced in my own life. The truth is what
reaches the people... Everyone seems to have an innate desire to know God and
to have relationship with Him; however, that desire is hidden in most people by
their sin. If we focus on getting into relationship with God, identifying the
sin isn’t as necessary as identifying that we are ALL sinners and that ALL sin
is the same in God’s eyes. Once that is established, God seems to do the rest!
I share, ask poignant questions which get people started looking and I’m there
to point them in the right direction and answer questions.
Romans
5:1-2
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we
stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Ultimately, though the LORD is doing all the work while I pray for
them and the ability to guide them in the direction that the Holy Spirit would
send them and I wait upon the LORD to do all of the real work. God has given me
a large toolbox from which to do my work and He has provided the students and
the materials, He tells me which questions to ask to get people stimulated into
searching for the answers. It has been such a thrill for me to be asked where
in the Bible people can find the answers to their questions on any subject. I
don’t know all the answers, but I am happy to say. “Let me check and I’ll send
you what you need tonight.”
Hebrews 13:5-6 Conversation without
covetousness; and be content with such
things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is
my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
God has been so faithful to provide every answer and for every need
in His perfect timing! I have been very blessed. Please keep this mission in prayer;
it is so financially poor that I will not be able to return to the states this
year to recharge my spiritual batteries. I do not have the backing of any
church or large organization just a shepherd’s heart to feed the flock and find
the lost. God bless you my friends!
Remember if it is your desire to help this mission all donations
