Again, pray for relationships and clear communication with our sisters in the Lord.

Pray for the Lord’s grace in communicating to all our friends at home about the things He is doing in His church on the other side of the world.
Hey Bethany and Chel- I am heading to work so I don't have long to post right now.
ReplyDeleteBut as I was praying for you about having words to speak the story of Gideon kept coming to mind. I saw you speaking to 12-15 year old boys and having so much power and influence in their lives about being Gideons, even though he was the the very least of the least. God saw him and declared that he would do great things to set hit people free.
You guys rock!!!!!!!!!!
