It's hard to believe I have about five weeks left here in this strange, new place which has started to feel like home. As I wrap up my time here, please be praying for:
-Our continued strength and joy in leading Bible studies and joy in doing the Lord's work
-That people in each Bible study would be willing to lead when we leave, and that God would give us wisdom in how to encourage and support these soon-to-be leaders as we meet with them one-on-one
-that God's people here would continue to learn his Word and read it on their own. If God's people are those who hear His Word, believe it, and live by it, then this is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, battle to be won! We made them journals that list passages they can read, so pray that they will make use of them. A praise is that many of them read their Bibles on their own this week and shared something they learned! Again, if you will remember one prayer request from this post, let it be this one. It is God's Word that changes hearts, not man's. Obedience will come from a changed heart. So if they are to walk with God, they must hear from him. This must be the foundation for their lives.
-That they would be encouraged to share what they learn with each other, and to share the Gospel with others.
Thank you. :) I am looking forward to seeing everyone again and sharing more about what has taken place here and what God has taught me!
I saw in the night visions, and behold; with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14
And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son." Revelation 21:6-7
