Yesterday we rested and took a day trip down to the coast of
the country where we spent the afternoon on a big boat exploring beautiful
islands and caves. Father blessed us with gorgeous, sunny weather and safe travels
along slender unpaved roads between our city and the bay. We thank Him for a
restful day.
Today, we went to service at the HC from a few days ago.
What a joy it was to sing, pray and study with Brothers and Sisters from around
the world. We learned about how Father equips each of us for the work He sets
before us. He calls and He equips, we just need to obey His Voice. Even then,
He gives us grace for when we don't obey. It was a very humbling message. The
Shepherd of the group is leaving the country for a while to better perfect his
English and to study the Word with other Shepherds from around the world.
Please pray for him as he travels and begins a long period of study, following
Father's Call for his life. Please also pray from his family back home who have
experienced much persecution in the past. His mother and sister are believers
but his father has fallen away.
One of our nonbelieving friends joined us for group this
morning. She received the message willingly and is planning to meet with the
Shepherd's sister next week and attend another group meeting. Our team has
shared the Good News with her several times over the past few days and Father
allowed her heart to open a little more each time. Please pray for her to
continue asking questions and reading the Word given to her this morning.
Tonight we're taking an overnight train to a city up north
where we'll be interacting with some ethnic minority groups over the next few
days. Please pray for safe travels, understanding and miraculous ease of
communication. The Word is Living and Breathing and we're excited to go with It
wherever it leads.
