We have had an amazing week! Dr. Jerry Rankin spoke with us three days on Spiritual Warfare, life on the field, and while it was intense, it was a soul searching time full of excitement in reaching the lost for Christ! Another exciting time was when all of those going on the field placed our photo on the map and asked for prayer for the country where we are going. God has brought more laborers and we want to have a servant's heart full of love!
Dr. Elbert Smith has such insight into the scriptures, and he is really making us stop and see what God is saying to us in His Word. Tonight he and his wife are hosting about 87 journeymen in their home ... these are the young adults/students going on the field. We have been amazed at their talents and gifts, and it does our heart good to see so many young people dedicated to bringing glory to God and making Him known around the world.
We would like for those of you in the churches which have committed to lifting us up in prayer over the next three years to know that we would love to have a team from your church to come to Moldova and prayer walk, hand out Bibles, hold VBS, or whatever God is laying on your heart. We would love to talk to you about this if God is leading a group to be His hands and feet!
They are feeding us well, and while it is all very healthy food, we are trying to watch the portions. We do not usually have three large meals every day, but at a buffet style meal it is easy to eat more than you need to. Please pray for one of the men that helps so faithfully in the kitchen; he was helping us after dinner as we put our dishes away, and a plate crashed on the floor with a piece flying up into his eye. They took him to the ER to be cared for, but we haven't heard how he is doing at this point. He has been so willing to serve us and we need to serve him now by lifting him up in prayer. Thank you for doing this!
The learning center is a beautiful place of tranquility where you can reflect on what God has called you to do, and it is only possible through your gifts to Lottie Moon and the Cooperative Program. There is always something happening on this campus, and we give praise to the Lord for providing all of the staff and the training available here!
We ask for you to keep us in your prayers as we continue in our training! Please email us if you have something that we can pray about with you.
Smile, God loves you!
