Welcome, dear friends! Here you will find an assortment of snippets and reflections ... and hopefully some encouraging quotes from people like John Piper and C.S. Lewis and ... most of all ... the Scriptures. :-) Leave a comment if you'd like - I would love to hear from you! Have a GREAT day.

Beautiful Sunny Skies, Weekends, and God's Work across the Globe

It is absolutely gorgeous outside as I write this! It is the weekend and I am looking forward to resting, spending extra time in the Word, times of fellowship with good friends, exercise and catching up on errands and stuff. :)

Our prayer meeting here at the ministry on Tuesday was so good ... we heard a story straight from the mission field in Asia that really stood out to me. Some time back, the people in one part of Northeast India suffered and lost so much in heavy floods. Yet ... the person sharing the story talked of how even as they had lost hope in their soil that was destroyed in the floods, they were finding lasting hope in Jesus! It was truly a great reminder to me of the same theme the Lord has been encouraging me with lately ... how even when we go through hard things in an earthly sense, we can rejoice that the Lord is using these things to bring about lasting good. I thank the Lord for the privilege to be part of a ministry that is getting to reach out to the physical and spiritual needs of precious people in the 10/40 Window where many still need to hear His name.

Click here to read an incredible answer to prayer in regards to the situation in Myanmar! The way the Lord is opening the door for GFA to reach out to these precious people is truly a huge answer to prayer ... We can rejoice in this, yet please continue to pray for Myanmar. The situation is quite serious (that is probably an understatement!) and the people have gone through so much. How good it is that we pray to a incredibly amazing God for whom nothing is impossible ... a God who cares for these precious people and desires to see them drawn to Himself even more than we do!

I am continually amazed at the awesome God that we serve ... and what a privilege it is to cry out to Him on behalf of a nation, knowing His heart of compassion and that there is nothing He can't do in their lives! I am grateful to know and serve this God ... aren't you?

[If you are reading this and don't know Jesus ... I would love to share with you more about Him. It would give me so much joy!]
