Hello everyone,
We have just completed our busiest week since arriving at ILC. We had security training which was intense but very good. There are very practical things to learn but what a blessing to know that we are ultimately in God's hands. It is easy to recognize Jesus during times of refreshing in our lives but do we see Him in the storms? He is the same but our perspective may change unless we are looking in faith. My hearts desire is to trust Him in all circumstances because He is so trustworthy.
Our training continues this week with a trip to Washington DC in small teams to seek out a West African dining experience, ride the metro, and spend the day sharing our faith with multiple ethnic groups that we encounter in the DC area. We will also finish up our round of several immunizations, mainly yellow fever which is a problem in West Africa. We also recieved our malaria medication that we will have to take once a week because of the malaria infested mosiquitos in our region. They want us to start the medication before we leave ILC because some people have bad side effects like outrageous nightmares that border the psychotic. (Teresa may sleep with one eye open!)
Southern Baptists should be proud of what is going on at this training center and what God is doing throughout the world. He has blessed our churches cooperation in giving and the Lottie Moon offering every year. I would encourage you to go to www.imb.org and see all that is happening around the world concerning mission work.
Our prayer request this week would be for the Lord to give us opportunities this Thursday when we are in Washington DC to share the gospel boldly and clearly to people from other nations who we meet during the day. Please pray for the Lord to send us to those who are hungry for spiritual truth and are truly ready for good news! In return, we will pray the same prayer for you this week. This prayer is God's will so be ready! Thank you so much for your support.
Blessings,
Jon
