Surprised by His Faithfulness
I must confess that I am still often surprised by God’s faithfulness even though it’s who He is at the core. Since you have begun praying with us last month for John, in Kenya, and Angel, in DR Congo, we have seen many touched in such profound ways:
Giselle, from the Congo, was deserted by her husband and had no way to support her children. She allowed herself to be used by men just so that they would feed her children. She describes her life as marked by “suffering” for the past 13 years and the question on her heart as been, “Can God forgive me for this?"
As Angel (pictured left) reached out to Giselle through this past month’s training, Giselle discovered a forgiving God along with practical help in farming and small business that has given her the ability to care for the needs of her own family. She has also found the ability… to smile!
John, training leaders in Kenya, reports, “Immediately after the training, we opened a new house church in one of the areas with some of those who came to the training.” He also said: “We count this training a successful one because we expected 50 leaders but we had more than 100 who attended. Glory be to God who helped us do that. It was not in our own strength but it was God’s strength. Your prayers have been so important!”
You wouldn’t believe some of the stories we hear, but I was especially shocked by the pain that shaped the life of Belline, the administrator of the school/orphanage we sponsor. She told me:.jpg "100_5284 (Small)")
I wish you could have walked with us on the newly-purchased land in Bikeke, the village in Kenya, where over 100 children will soon be schooled and cared for. .JPG "IMG_1576 (Small)")
