It is always amazing to me how fresh eyes are the Lord's way of encouraging and strengthening the body of Christ. Sometimes it happens in personal times with the Lord. Other times it is through dreams and visions. But most of the time it is through other brothers and sisters who come along side you and speak over you what they see. In those moments the heart becomes lighter the bond of the love of Christ is stronger and we see again the truth that was cloudy. That is what I feel our trip to the village was all about. We saw for them and they saw for us.
Each day we were in a different home for our meals. Sitting around sharing our story then checking in with them. One of the many high points was sitting with Jim, Norah and their family as they had family worship time before lunch. It was precious. Their children participated in such child like faith as they prayed and worshipped. God is doing a mighty thing in their family as Jim has chosen to take a pay cut and be with his kids in the morning and train them in the Word. He then goes to work in the afternoon. Pray for their faithfulness to be rewarded.
Pray for the Cullimore's as well. They hosted us the first couple of days. They were such servants. They are on a juice fast but she still cooked for us and made juice for me when I was sick. They are also without A/C. They have a few window units but the main system completely froze over and it will cost a chunk to get it fixed. Pray for grace as the temperature has gotten up over 100 degrees!!
There are so many other stories to tell. God has been good. I want you all to be encouraged to take a look at your day and ask the Lord who you can pray for, encourage or share His peace with. Opportunities abound.
