Can I just brag how AWESOME OUR GOD is!?!
Luke 17:5-6 "The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would obey you."
Over the last two weeks I've been asking God to increase my faith. This week I asked for courage and prayed that He would bring another individual financial partner by the end of the week.
HOW DID GOD RESPOND? He brought in more than 1 supporter and upped the percentage to 62%!!!
BLESS AND MAGNIFY HIS HOLY NAME!!!
And a huge welcome to the new financial partners that have joined in the last 30 days (a friend, two former co-workers, a huge group gift, and many one-time gifts). Welcome to Team Nicaragua!
JUNE:
The month of June was full of emails, phone calls, and ZOOM calls with pastors, missions committees, current supporters, and potential supporters. These calls have been opportunities to give a little “COVID CARE”: seeing how people and churches have been doing during lockdown and how I pray for them. It has been special to connect in a more personal way and even “see” people at least virtually.
Praying especially for the churches and church leaders as they navigate the reopening process, that God would bless each church group with great unity, grace, wisdom, and humility as we walk through brand-new territory.
WEEKLY UPDATES ONLINE:
For the last few weeks and going forward, each Thursday evening I plan to post a “Nicaragua Note” on my Facebook Page. Join the group.
These posts will focus on different aspects of Nicaraguan culture, missions, and other interesting topics.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
- Referrals to new churches to try to contact
- God to continue to add more partners to the team
- Health and peace for our nation and for Nicaragua.
PRAISES:
- For all the new supporters
- That I and my family have been spared from the virus
- That churches are re-opening
