Celebrate!
OMF Celebrated their 150th birthday yesterday, and if you want to check out their facebook page they have a lot of information about the ministry and what God is doing and how He is moving in Asia. You'll find this video on there:
No Regrets, No Retreat
Prayer
And would pray with us about the persecuted Christians and unreached people around the world?
Joshua Project
Colossians 4:2,3 "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains."
Thanksgiving
And I am thankful for the testimony of a friend last night who has had a not easy life, and God has provided and is getting the glory. "What is this called here?" He gestures to the circle that we had formed to pray over the meals, "It's a family, we're a family."
We are God's family, through Jesus Christ, we are never alone anymore. Oh I wish I could tell you his whole story! Well, at least the part of it that I know...but just know that God is alive and He is a Big God.
I'm also thankful that my kids can pray and sing praises during the loudest thunderstorm we-have-ever-experienced (yes we were scared, no it wasn't all roses and lollipops, one of us lost our lunch, one of us could have slept through the entire thing, neither one of those was me, but we were looking to Jesus instead of our fear), and then praise the Lord for answering their prayers before drifting to sleep.
