A huge heartfelt thank you goes out to every one of you that are supporting us. Your prayers have astounded me! I am not surprised that the Lord has provided, He promised that He would Philippians 4:19. He also promises that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man (and woman) availeth much. James 5:16 and they have!!! We are on our way.
As of this morning, our trip is entirely paid!!! Praise God!!! And above that, we have spending money and will be able to give a gift to the Mission in excess of $1000 … ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT I COULD ASK OR THINK. What’s more I was able to outline a couple messages to share in Zambia and everything fit into the suitcases :)
Kevin Pestke, director of the Conference and Mission sent us a note recently asking that we pray for the weather during the coming week. Most of the 10,000 people coming will be sleeping outside under the stars and the weather forecast is unseasonable cold. Daytime highs are in the 80’s but overnite lows are forecasted to fall into the 40’s and 50’s.
John and Lorna are doing well. John asked in an email last Sunday if I could pick up a Zambian and a Christian flag to bring along with us. Now what do you think the odds are that a mom and pop flag store here in Springfield will have an African flag in stock. I laughed when I read the note, but told him I would try. There was no time to order them on line, so it would have to be a God thing for it to happen. Now have you determined what you think would be the odds of them having it in stock? Oh ya, the odd that John asked me was either 1:40 or he asked everyone, but the email was addressed to me personally. Ready for this … they had both in stock. Trust God at His Word personally and you will see Him working in everything.
Dick Jarvis will be at the Conference, but Eve will not be joining him until September. I don’t know the details, but were asked to keep them in prayer. Finally Dennis and Sue Anderson are there and I think Bobby Bonner as well, but Becky did remain back in the States.
To Him be the Glory, serving together with you.
Elaine and Jim
