Greetings everyone!!
I continue to be overwhelmed and awed by our
G0d daily…I seem to live in a state of being behind in declaring His
Gl0ry to you all! At the end of the day I am overwhelmed with things to
ponder about G0d and His work, so I think I will write to you all in the
morning…then in the morning, I find myself in awe to the point of
wondering “How do you put all this into words?” I am going to attempt to
just get started…It may be more of a dumping than a declaring…only
time will tell…smile…enjoy the gl0ry of our G0d…smile
C@therine’s last day:We
started the day as normal and C@therine had gifts to share with some of
our friends. After going to pick up ice to deliver downtown, I did my
solo wound care assignment. For months C@therine has been caring for the
wound on S0’s ankle and I will be taking that over until it is healed
completely. Then we had planned to go to lunch with O and her daughters.
C@therine gave her gifts and had one thing left she wanted to do…pr@y
for O and S0. We gathered at S0’s business and he asked C@therine,
“Will you tell me one last story to remember after you are gone?” She
agreed. Then a peanut gallery began forming again as we waited for O and
S0 to complete some business. She told the story of Peter Walking on
Water. After the story, one of the men in the peanut gallery began
asking questions:
According to you, is J.s.s coming back again?
After
talking much about his questions, he told us how truly he was a M.slm,
but they have not shown him the true way. He knows J.s.s is in their
book but they have told him nothing about who G0d is, who J.s.s is. He
said, “I even went to the Chr!sti@n ch.rch and I have talked with many
Chr!sti@ns, but no one has convinced me.” He went on to say, “I have
never heard words like yours today and they are words of truth and
power. Today, I am convinced!” I explained to him that these words were
not our own, but that G0d Himself came near to him today because He
wants him to be convinced about who J.s.s is and what He has done for
him. We left him with a question and told him that we would meet again
to both share our answer to that question and to hear his answer to the
question.
a
Two days later he came to me and greeted and then
asked if we could talk the next day. We set up a time. As the enemy
would have it, one of the ice trucks for their business broke down and
he was unable to sit with us and talk. He did come to apologize and let
us know why he was unable to meet.
Please pr@y for Baso as he
ponders and thinks on the question as well as considers all the things
we talked about the day G0d poured out His Sp!r!t and came near to Baso.
Pr@y for J.s.s to reveal Himself to Baso in dreams and visions, to
pursue Him until Baso understands and receives the gift of s@lvation G0d
has prepared for him.
C@therine’s Safe Arrival:After
a few glitches and changes in C@therine’s ticket home, she arrived
safely back in N0rth C@r0lina. I received word from her and her family
that she is safely in her mother’s hand. Her journey was eventful, but
she was well taken care of by the airline. Please thank our Father at
least one more time for the work He did in and through C@therine during
her time here in M@li. The light of His Presence shone brightly through
her daily!!
C@therine…keep seeking Him, serving Him, and shining brightly for His gl0ry!!
