We had a rather unusual prayer sung at our wedding. We selected it because we believed that God had called us to ministry and knew there was biblical proof that when God calls, God also accompanies. Moses was dead. Joshua was the new anointed leader. Three times in Chapter 1, God said to Joshua, \u201cBe strong and of good courage\u201d (Jos. 1:6, 7, 9). Why? Because Joshua had been called to lead the people to the promise land, and he had heard God\u2019s promise to, \u201cbe with you wherever you go\u201d (Jos. 1:9). How would God accompany Joshua? In empowerment and encouragement! It has been our experience, through seven separate ministry locations spanning fifty years, that when God leads, God accompanies and when God accompanies, He grants power and courage for the assignment. Changing the words from singular to plural, our wedding soloist sang, \u201cOur heart, our life, our all we bring, to Christ who loves us so; He is our Master, Lord and King, wherever He leads, we\u2019ll go.\u201d We were willing to go anywhere as long as God empowered and encouraged. Are you feeling God\u2019s power and courage this week? You may be exactly where God wants you to be.<\/p>\n
Join me in remembering the following global concerns:
\n\u2022 Give thanks that Bethany in Slovenia is doing much better and will be able to start classes on Monday. She definitely had viral meningitis. Some test results are still out so not sure exactly what else she has.
\n\u2022 The Jewish high holidays begin on September 4 (Rosh Hashanah – Jewish New Year). Pray for Mary that God will give her creative ideas of how to reach out to her Jewish neighbors.
\n\u2022 Pray for Kyle & Valeria that their visas for Brazil will be granted.
\n\u2022 Join with Tricia and Stephen in praying that the Good News will spread along all the truck routes of West Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
