WGM Prayer Requests

We get a few special prayer requests sometimes from World Gospel Mission and we got one a couple days ago asking us to pray for this family of missionaries that are serving in Bolivia. This is the email we received from them today. Please continue to pray for this family. They have an amazing faith in our Lord.

"Our beautiful blond Baby Marian Barbara is nestled in the arms of Jesus this morning. She went to be with Him while Mommy was still in labor last night. Both sets of grandparents, the pastors, and Marian’s family got to hold her. She looked so pretty in the little dress and bonnet her Mommy had made for her. She was 3 lbs. 4 oz. and 14 inches long. Ron said they’ve seen the hand of the Lord through the entire process!

Let’s thank the Lord for answering our prayers. Yesterday, when the doctor began the procedure to manipulate the baby out of the breech position, he stopped, called for a sonogram, and found Baby Marian already in perfect position. A direct answer to our prayers! He protected Ruth through labor which was induced yesterday at 3 PM and ended at 9:38 PM. He brought honor to His name through Thad and Ruth’s faithfulness and dedication to live out what they believe. He continues to bring honor to Himself as we rejoice at the testimony of the sense of His presence throughout these past months. He is God and His ways our perfect even though we do not always understand them."

Continue to pray for all the family as they continue to walk through these difficult days.

Hello everyone. Just a couple of prayer requests that we had: Wanda will be going for a CAT scan on Friday to rule out a tumor that the Doctors feel my be behind her eyes. This may be the reason for her frequent eye infections and decreased vision. We all gathered with her Easter (my family and David) and had prayer with her. We are looking to hear a good report. Wanda is very claustrophobic and has never liked these tests. The nurse also called me today and said she is running a low grade temperature and we need to keep an eye on her that she does not develop pneumonia. My dad will also be going in for a procedure mid April where he will need to be put to sleep again and reevaluated. We are praying he is healed as well. We know God can make every situation a positive one and we will be excited to share the healing power of Christ when these doctors come back with the good reports wondering who preformed these miracle healings!
Come to me, and rest in my loving Presence. You know that this day will bring difficulties, and you are trying to think your way through those trials. As you anticipate what is ahead of you, you forget that I am with you, now and always. Rehearsing your troubles results in experiencing them many times, where as you are meant to go through them only when they actually occur. Do not multiply your suffering in theis way! Instead, come to Me, and relax in My Peace. I will strengthen you and prepare you for this day transforming your feaar into confident trust.
Matthew 11:28-30 Joshua 1: 5-9

This is a time in your life when you must learn to let go: of loved ones, of possessions, of control. In order to let go of something that is precious to you, you need to rest in My Presence, where you are complete. Take time to bask in the Light of My Love. As you relax more and more, your grasping hand gradually opens up, releasing your prized possession into My care.
You can feel secure, even in the midst of cataclysmic change, through awareness of My continual Presence. The One who never leaves you is the same One who never changes: I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. As you release more and more things into My care, remember that I never let go of your hand. Herein lies your security, which no one and no circumstance can take from you.
Hebrews 13:8

I am a God of both intricate detail and overflowing abundance. When you entrust the details of your life to Me, you are surprised by how thoroughly I answer your petitions. I take pleasure in hearing your prayers, so feel free to bring Me all your requests. The more you pray, the more answers you can receive. Best of all, your faith is strengthened as you see how precisely I respond to your specific prayers.
Because I am infinite in all My ways, you need not fear that I will run out of resources Abundance is at the very heart of who I am. Come to Me in joyful expectation of receiving all you need and sometimes much more! I delight in showering blessings on My beloved children. Come to Me with open hands and heart, ready to receive all I have for you.
Psalm 132:15 John 6:12-13

Uganda, Here We Come!

We are so excited and proud to announce that World Gospel Mission has approved us for missionary work in Uganda. Josh and I will be serving as youth leaders at the African Gospel Church and I will also be helping with community nursing. We thank you so much for your support and prayers. We will be starting our education and Bible training at this time and will travel back to Indiana in July (to WGM's headquarters) for further training and this will be the start of our fund raising.
After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. Go He told them, The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Luke 10:1-2
