The longer I stay here, the more the Lord continues to blow my mind! He is doing such a good work in every ministry I’m involved in.
Updates on a couple:
Frontline: Praise the Lord, I got to spend a couple days in the slums this past week. On Friday, I got to pray with a 16 year old boy named Guy to accept the Lord! You could tell the Lord was tugging at his heart before, because he was so open to it; he just wanted it. It was awesome! On Saturday I spent some long overdue, much needed quality time with the boys at the church and then went to the program in the slums. We played games and had so much fun! On Sunday, I taught the boys at their Sunday service and some of them wanted to get saved! Praise the Lord! Please pray that it would be a legitimate prayer and a change of heart. Pray for continued salvations.
Jordan House: After the Bible Study last week I asked them to share about the things the Lord is teaching them or what He’s doing in their lives. One of them said that since the Bible Study started she has learned how to meditate on the Word; another said that after we prayed over her for the pain in her mouth to go away, she hasn’t felt pain since; and another one shared that now she talks to her neighbors about the Lord and has her own Bible Study with them. Praise the Lord! God is doing amazing things! He is so faithful!
Personally, the Lord has been showing me a lot through the Psalms about His power and might; how great He is, and so deserving of our praise and worship. (Psalm 86:10) I finished my Philippians Bible study with Jordan House and am going through Ephesians. The Lord has been reminding me of the amazing work (beyond what we could ever imagine) He has for each and every one of us if we allow Him to work in and through us. It’s necessary that God works in us before He works through us.
The other night at church we were talking about how to know God’s will for our lives. He confirms His will through the Holy Spirit, His Word, the peace that He gives us, the desires He gives us, and godly counsel. Everything that was said was such a great reminder to me of the way the Lord continued to confirm that I was supposed to come to Africa, and now He’s doing such a great work! There’s no greater blessing, fulfillment, and joy than being in the will of God and being assured that you’re in the will of God. If we do things in our own strength, we will never know if it’s God and we will question if it’s God. But if we do things according to the Lord, we will have a peace that surpasses all understanding, and we will be blessed beyond anything we could’ve ever done in our own strength. GOD IS SO GOOD!
Prayer requests: *Strength to finish strong. As I get busier and busier, I get less and less sleep and I feel it taking a toll on my body. I want to continue to be strong, to stay focused and healthy, so that I can be effective as God’s servant, and really take advantage of and enjoy every moment, as the time is going by way too fast!
*Continued unity for the Frontline team. They’ve become like my family. They’re amazing people and I can’t believe the Lord chose to bless me with them! He is teaching me how important unity is. If we weren’t so unified it would affect our ministry drastically. But because everyone on the team is so close, it makes it so much more of a joy and blessing, and we’re able to pour into the boys more. Pray that the Lord continues to bring us closer together as we draw closer to Him.
“Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
