God is moving here and it is absolutely rocking my world! There is nothing like our God! This week we were a part of a crusade and joined with a team from Portland, Oregon. We saw hundreds of people come to know Jesus and now we all as a team feel called to go back to the secondary schools and help them continue this new relationship with Jesus as we disciple them and teach them to disciple others! We want people here to know that it doesn't end with the decision of accepting Christ … that is just the beginning! Our God is a God who instills power in us and calls us friend and loves us personally, desiring a deep and intimate relationship with us! Oh snap, He is SO GOOD!
At one of the schools, we were talking to and praying over the students who had just accepted Christ. I just started talking to a group of 3 girls and explaining what the oh so fancy term "being saved" actually means and how it applies to them when one of the girls, Rita, pulled me aside and said, "Maam can i ask you something?" — Me: "Yes, go ahead!" — Her: "Does being saved mean I can wear trousers now?!" Wow. Hmmm.. So very confused I ask, "Pants??" She says Yes and I then begin to explain how its absolutely nothing about physical stuff and how Jesus died for her and He takes away her sins, washes her and cleans her, and has saved her and that He loves her very much. She starts bawling and leans into me and says, "oh the peace! oh the peace!" I tell her I know, I love that peace and also tell her that because Jesus has saved both of us we are sisters in Christ and will live together forever in heaven! We both start crying and jumping around for joy! It was an absolutely beautiful moment filled with so much genuine joy and I can not wait to dig deeper with her as we go to her school for discipleship in the next 3 weeks!
"You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right Hand." -Psalm 16:11
Seek His presence this week. The last thing Jesus says in Matthew is "I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS…" — In His presence alone is fullness of joy and joy forever. Keep praying for us. Jesus is so good.
