Wow, just as
Sarah wrote, where do I start? I guess I shall start by praising the Lord for
His amazing love and all the blessings and answered prayers which He wrought
during this mission...with more to come. :)
~*~
Praise the Lord
for this awesome group of brothers and sisters in Christ, hand-picked by our
Heavenly Father, indeed!
Praise the Lord
for all those who prayed and who are praying for us and for the Bolivians,
before, during and after this wonderful mission.
Praise the Lord
for laughter and joy in Him and great conversation, encouragement and
edification all throughout the mission, and to and from our destinations!
Praise the Lord
for time to mingle and for wisdom and open doors to share the Good News and
Christ's love with university students who are practicing English! The angels
in heaven were rejoicing as at least two students prayed to receive Christ that
day.
Praise the Lord
for red dirt roads...
...for the most
scenic laundry room ever...
...for beautiful
feet of those who preach the Gospel...
...and for
yucca!!! :D (pardon the randomness...it was delicious!)
And finally, for
the time being, praise the Lord for those precious children (these two
princesses, daughters of David and Ana) who, after seeing and experiencing the
love of Christ and hearing the Gospel shared through simple Salvation
Bracelets, took the vision and ran with it (and literally ran!), eagerly leading me and others to
those in the community who they knew needed Jesus, and eventually sharing
Christ through the bracelets on their own. Praise the Lord! My heart is overjoyed,
and my prayers are continually for them all. Glory to God forever and ever.
"But let all who take refuge in You be glad,
Let them ever sing for joy; And may You shelter them, That those who love
Your name may exult in You." Psalm 5:11
"We will sing for joy over your
victory, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners. May the LORD
fulfill all your petitions."
Psalm 20:5
Praise God, I have enjoyed hearing about this mission trip-Thanks Sean! Hope to see more pictures.
ReplyDeleteCaitlyn, I never heard about Mara and Chana excitedly and joyfully running to the villagers to tell them about Christ -- what an awesome picture! I love those children and their hearts of Christ!!!
