Three weeks from today – I leave for the Philippines.
My mind was overflowing with thoughts this morning – I truly want to walk with Jesus and “seek first God’s kingdom and God’s righteous lifestyle.”
AND, I want to help as many people walk with Jesus as I possibly can… helping them to experience the grace, goodness, power and provision of our God on a day-to-day, hour-to-hour basis.
I began this morning praying for wisdom – wisdom to understand the heart needs of my Filipino brothers and sisters – the answers to their needs are already in God’s word – I want the Lord’s guidance so I can give them what will “light their fire.”
I want to understand Filipino culture (I’m studying) so that I can best communicate the gospel when I have the opportunity to preach it.
AND, I also want to help American believers find freedom and energy in their walk with Christ…
My heart is full with the desire to help people know the present reality of our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I am so very grateful to have you as a faithful prayer partner. Simply knowing you are praying is very encouraging… your notes in response to our news & requests really lift us, too. Thank you.
For Jesus’ sake, Tom
