I can wake up, pray, read my Bible and feel so loved; within minutes of stepping out of bed I can forget. Our minds are constantly needing to be reminded of how loved we are. How easy it is for us to feel unloved or unwanted. Imagine how those that don't even know they are loved must feel. Imagine not knowing this love that surpasses all other loves. Imagine your lowest low and not having a Father in Heaven to love you through it. Imagine seeing hundreds of sons & daughters, husbands & wives, mums & dads, grandparents, and children that don't know they have His arms to run back to when they feel unloved. There is no one too broken or too lost to find redemption. How could we not be desperately seeking to tell them this great news?
"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39
Our team will be hosting several sports camps and community outreaches this week for locals. Pray that we will boldly proclaim the Gospel and share this great love with those that desperately need to hear it. Pray that their hearts are being prepared right now to hear about a love that will bring them out of all pain and suffering and bring them into a love that will last through eternity!
Each night since you've been away I've awoken in the night and again in the morning with your ministry, your host family, and all of those you will be in contact with in my prayers. I pray that truly God will prepare the soil so that when you dig in and get muddy, His Spirit is already there to water the seeds planted by each of you and the love you show. My thoughts are with you almost constantly and I feel a part of what's happening there even though I cannot be there physically. I love you my sweet girl and pray for the safety of your team and for Jesus' name to be known, loved, and spread far and wide! Love, Mommy.
