A CYF missions update
One of our missionary partners is going into a sensitive nation in southeast Asia. This is an exerpt from a recent letter:
Greetings Faith Friends,
It been a while since I’ve written, I’ve let time get away from me. Last prayer request was for my trip to Liberia and Ghana. I’ll sum it up on a paragraph but please visit www.tothenations.com for more testimonies and photos of the people.
The people of Liberia had a hope and expectancy that I’ve never seen in a people before. They were waiting upon our arrival, pulling on the gift of God in each one of us, and so gracious. Ministry was a variety. While we carried the Word of God to the churches to encourage and build up, we were also able to visit the schools, orphanages, and villages. All the ministry was amazing. As the Lord reached down and the hope that was inside of them was changed to things seen. Whether it was healing, the Lord healed, encouragement, the Lord encouraged or a Touch of Love, the Lord dispensed that too. It was wonderful.
I knew in my heart from last fall’s trips to SE Asia that I would be going back to minister to the region. I just did not know when or where. I kept it up in prayer and started making preparations for things to come.
In February I met a Pastor who was visiting from
location deleted. As we had fellowship he started speaking directly to my heart. I like to call it “Reading my mail.” He was speaking to me of things that the Lord had told me were to come. I was excited but did not say anything. He did ask if I would ever be interested in ministering there. I indicated that yes, at the right time, I’d go.Two weeks later I received an invitation to go and minister at a revival service. I put it up in prayer asking the Lord for three confirmation. I received all three within 12 hours. One was very specific and was answered in a big way.
Your prayers have sustained me through all I’m called to do. You all play a vital role… so I need your support again. I ask you to pray in agreement the following and please lift me up as the spirit reminds you of me.
- Protection as we travel.. no harm or incident
- All luggage to arrive at the end destination My backpack is packed and will be checked. I’m bringing items for the pastor over.
- Health of me… I’ve noticed an increase in “hits” but I push them back…
- For sanctified food and water…
- For the Assignments, for me to hear with my ears, receive in my heart, and embrace all that the Lord is directing me to do. I know that there is a message He wants to draw out.
- For the Holy Spirit to have absolutely free reign and for me not to lean on any part of my own understanding
- For my eyes to be open to see the people as the Lord sees them
- For me to be changed from glory to glory as I experience more of the Love of God.
- Whatever else is put on your hearts.
As I corresponded with the Pastor, I have come to realize that indeed the Lord is planning something really special. I even have been set up with attire (from previous trips) that will fit in just lovely! He truly prepares the way.
God bless all of you, and I’m praying for the Lord to move suddenly in all of your lives to take you to the next level.
