Not only do I count myself blessed to have 5 new Christian friends, but we have all been humbly blessed to receive your offers of prayer and financial support. The support from family and friends has been so overwhelming that it has brought me to my knees. On my knees in thankful prayer to our Lord and Savior at the kitchen table with tears in my eyes. All of the letters, e-mails and words of support that we have received have been amazing!
Lord, you knew the plans you had for our group even before our group had met and we feel you surrounding us with multiple blessings. We are so thankful for the support of Brookfield Lutheran Church and its church body. (We especially love your enthusiastic support of our Spring Roll Sales!) We are being sent by God to serve and bless the people of Thailand yet we are the ones that are being blessed!
We are humbly asking that you continue to pray. Pray for our final preparations prior to departure, for safe travel, and pray for health for the team and for our families that we are leaving behind. Pray for the people of Thailand and the people that we will meet that we may share that YOU are the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE! Pray that the Holy Spirit would go before us and open the hearts of the people who are ready to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior!
I received a letter of support in the mail today from a sweet sister in Christ whom I love and adore. She is amazing in her ability to find the right words and lift people up. So, more tears in my eyes as I feel God's presence and amazing ability to speak through others to us. (And no, you're never too old to enjoy stickers on the back of an envelope!)
We trust you Lord and the plans you have for us in Thailand! We can't WAIT to shine for your son JESUS!
