Please God,

I ask you to send me to Southeast Asia.

I have no clue why, but those people are on my heart.

You are a good God, and with this I know that You will send me where I can fulfill Your plans for my life, whatever country or countries that may be.

But You are a God that I can talk with, and share my heart with, and that is what I am doing. At the same time I seek You for Your wisdom and guidance in my life. I love you Father.

Isaiah 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here I am. Send me!"

TAG, You're It

While I was in a seminar at Urbana09 I heard something that was really cool and I think everyone should try to get in a habit of doing.

The speaker asked if we wanted to be missionaries. He then asked what we were doing now to fulfill that desire and command. His suggestion was that we start going to work for the people in other countries around the world.
"Why don't you start by praying?"
was his question.
"Why don't you, before getting dressed in the morning, check your tag on the back of your shirt and start praying for the country and the person who made your shirt?"

It really is a neat way to get started on missionary work.
And also a way to remember to pray and to possibly help others around the world through that simple act.

I am still trying to make it a habit to check my tag. I forget often, but believe that it will come with time.

TODAY I PRAYED FOR:
The people of the Dominican Republic
& the specific person or people
who put their working hands on my shirt.

At One O'Clock

My sissy is going into surgery today.

This will help her in her pregnancy to not go into labor too early.
I ask for your prayers as she is a little nervous and scared.
She has faith and trust in our Father though;
probably the best thing one can have!
She goes in at 1:00
& it's only suppose to be about 15 minutes.
I appreciate your support! =)

My Prayer

"'He makes His ministers a flame of fire.' Am I ignitable? God deliver me from the dread asbestos of 'other things.' Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be a flame. But flame is transient, often short-lived. Canst thou bear this, my soul-short life? In me there dwells the Spirit of the Great Short-Lived, whose zeal for God's house consumed Him. 'Make me Thy Fuel, Flame of God.'"

-Jim Elliot


This is my prayer

Grace Like Rain

This is a blog two friends and I wrote while in Kenya...

Jambo and karibu (Hello and welcome) from Sarah 'Diesel' Denning, Stephanie 'Mama Reb' Rebis, and Jon 'The Bucket' Roberts. We speak on behalf of our ENTIRE team (whose nicknames we cannot all fit in here) as they all lie sleeping after a long day of spontaneous zebra, baboon, warthog, and gazelle encounters. As we are nearing the end of our first week here in Kijabe, we have already seen our mighty Father begin to work in the lives of our team and the village of Kijabe. Before we left for Kenya we were told that there was a great need for rain in Kijabe. There had been a drought for four months leaving food prices high and many people hungry. When we arrived, Pastor Simon, our host here, once again expressed the great need for rain. Our prayers and concerns were so numerous at first that we often forgot about the rain. Wednesday night our group came together with the intention of praying for rain, knowing that God would bless Kijabe when we were faithful in prayer. At the same time adjusting to Kijabe proved difficult for the team and we began to lose our focus and unity that we built at training camp. As we grew more faithful in our prayer we began to feel more aware of the lack of unity within our team. It was Friday night when we came together to discuss all that was building up inside. As the Holy Spirit moved within our group and began to reinforce the bonds of love that form our family, we heard a soft rattle on the tin roof. God proved Himself faithful once again by bringing our team closer together and blessing Kijabe with rain for the first time in four months. We all ran outside and began to praise God in the rain for His constant provision and everlasting love for His children. When we stopped to take it all in, we could hear the children at the nearby school also outside, rejoicing in the rain. It was a night we will not forget as God answered the prayers of our hearts and the cries of His people. God is sooo good...the rain has not stopped and we can hear it right now! Of course this means mosquitoes, but we are willing to deal with it. =)
Yesu Anakupenda, tutaonana!
(Jesus loves you, see ya later!)
