the other day i was looking at the front cover of the church web site and it struck me that God has fulfilled his promise many times over Mt 19:29 "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.
Not only do i have my own family at home now I have a church family praying and caring for me, I have friends looking out for me and on top of that I have a whole new family here.
what a faithful god we have who gives so bountiful and generously what else can we do but rejoice!
Something else to rejoice about, as i write this blog or soon after some new brothers and sisters are being Baptised, it will be the first time in the history of this people group that this has happened!
Please pray for these babes in Christ is they face persecution from family and friends as what they are doing and how they are living goes against their culture.
This week starting Monday I'm starting language study on my own last week was a bit of a refresher to remind us how to acquire the language and culture, now its time to do it.
Please pray that God will bring the right people into my path, people that will help me learn but also people i can share the love of Christ with.
Pray for my family at home as the plumbs are starting pray someone will be there to take my place.
Rejoice in a faithful God who answers prayer
Eph 3:14 ¶ For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height--
19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
