Luke 15:7 - Joy in Heaven!

Our team has been constantly meeting new students and furthering our relationships with students and other young people that we have met.  We have had the opportunity to attend many events with the locals here and have participated in many conversations that gave us the opportunity to plant seeds.  We strive to plant these seeds every day and pray that God will provide the necessary growth from these seeds.  Sometimes God provides harvesting opportunities in amazing ways.

Part of our team had the opportunity to visit a woman in her own home this week who has been fighting lung cancer for a year.  This woman says that she wants to feel the Spirit of God because nothing else has worked up to this point, but she says that when she prays she feels nothing.  She feels like she is missing something, but she can remember two times in her life that she has felt the Spirit of God.  These two times have both occurred when other people have prayed for her and cried out to God on her behalf.  


Our team then began to share with her how she can come to have that same Spirit of God living inside of her constantly, through personal testimony and scripture.  After hearing these things, she cried out to God to save her from her sins.  By the grace of God, she confessed her sins and committed her life to Him and our team celebrated with her.  We prayed that if it is in God's will, that her cancer will be healed.  We will be in contact with this woman during the remainder of our time here and the time after we go home.

Please be in prayer for...


Her physical and spiritual health during this time.


Seeds to continue to be planted in the lives of the young people here.


The seeds that have been planted on fertile soil, for God to begin to work in their hearts.

The relationships that we have already formed, and will form, to glorify God in every way possible.


Thank you for your constant thoughts and prayers,
