Thank you for praying for ministry opportunities! God has brought the rain in that area this week. Tuesday we had the chance to join a ministry called Mercy Link in their tribal bible study where five people committed to believer's baptism. We got to wade through muddy rice fields to get to this hut in the middle of nowhere to hold the bible study. It was moving to watch people from miles away drop what they were doing and coming quickly to the place where the word of God was being taught! Then on Thursday Meredith and I attended a local christian church's youth group meeting where we were asked to bring the bible study on the spot! There is something empowering about being put on the spot like that and I truly felt the Spirit speaking through me as I spoke from Philippians 4:4-8 teaching them about how even our thoughts should be Christlike. Also this week one of the full time caregivers asked if we would start a bible study there after the kids are asleep and I am excited to see where God will take that. We are finally to the point where we can walk down the street and people recognize us and call us by name and we are no longer the funny looking foreigners.
God has really intervened this week with my attitude, and numerous times he has made me aware of thoughts or intentions that didn't honor him so that I could refocus before any damage was done. I feel like my time here is running our and I pray that God will do great things in our last few weeks here. I pray that we will be intentional in our work here and I am praying the same thing for my friends and family back home. Next week we get a 3 day vacation and we are going to a beach resort to refocus our thoughts and minds as well as being able to rest in God for a little while. Keep on praying, thank you!
