Hello Everyone!!!!
I am still in the States waiting for God to make my next step clear.
The team that I thought was gathering to N.Africa has changed somewhat…so it does not look like I will be heading there with Iris Ministries before January. I am still hoping that a church planting team will be gathered with Iris in Africa, however I am also seeking other options and waiting for God to reveal what door is the one He has prepared for me to walk through. I trust that He has prepared works for me, that my times are in His hands, and that He will make my path straight and perfect all things that concern me. He is faithful!!!!!
So what am I doing in the meantime…
Arabic classes – I have been given the opportunity to attend Arabic 101 for free at Bridgewater State college, which is the language needed if I go to N.Africa. It has been a great opportunity not only to learn the language, but to learn about the Islamic faith from my professor who is a devout and sincere Muslim. I am also getting to know the students in the class…It’s really been a joy in every way.
Sharing/Speaking - I have had the opportunity to share at more places than usual, including a ‘missionettes’ group and a student activist group for Sudan at a high school. On Nov 5th and 8th , I will be sharing at Cardinal Spellman High School (where I used to be a teacher) with all the juniors and seniors. Please pray for God to really encourage these kids to follow after Him with all their heart, and to see there is no greater life than one in Him!
Encouragement…
“ My dear one, you are not in the grip of fear but in the hands of Love itself. Fear of man, fear of the unknown, fear of making mistakes, fear of looking foolish, of trying new things, fear of not being loved, or being good enough. Fear makes you tense, dark, unable to see things the way I see them. Let me touch your heart with My perfect, all-embracing love and so drive out all your fears…For every fear that has gripped you, My love will overwhelm your heart as you learn to stand before me as a much-loved child….I am looking forward to love, every day with you.”
