Praise For Financial Donors

We are so thankful to everyone that has joined our support team. As of today we are at 40% of our monthly support goal, and 50% of our one time goal.

God is so good and faithful and he has chosen you specifically for this purpose and that is to further His kingdom in Namibia.

I spoke with the Pastor of the Church I will work with last week and they are very eager for our arrival and so are the youth. They have had missionaries there for the last few years through AIM (African Inland Mission), but come this December AIM will be relocating their missionaries to other areas in Africa. So we are praying that we will receive the rest of our monthly needs this year so that we can begin our ministry in Grootfontein.

Please continue to keep the Namibians and our family in your prayers.

Many Blessings,

Youth Workers Needed in the Mission Field

If you love the Lord, love young people, and love to share Christ, then you are needed in the mission field. The following quote is an intro to a request for help from an SIM Youth Ministry Coordinator. You can read the rest of the post here.

As I make contact with people seeking to connect with young people around the world in mission contexts I hear one request time after time. It is “Can you send us people to work with young people”. It is one request that keeps nagging away with me because I so want to be able to help them right now but the reality is that there are not too many people putting their hand up to go and minister and connect with young people.

For God's Sake

This is some great Scripture to meditate on.

Even our trials, and pains are for His sake!
Everything, Everything is for His Glory, no glory for us.
As He says in verse eleven, His glory He will not give
to another.

Isaiah 48:9-11

9 “For my name's sake I defer my anger,
for the sake of my praise I restrain it
for you, that I may not cut you off.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but not
as silver; I have tried you in the furnace
of affliction. 11 For my own sake, for my
own sake, I do it, for how should my name
be profaned? My glory I will not give to another.

An Irresistible God!

The following is a quote from a poet, Stephen Dunn, who is not a Christian. Notice how he describes beauty. This is how a regenerate person sees Christ. Christ is beautiful, and so wonderful that He is irresistible! You can read the rest of this article at Desiring God. Link Here

"I just think beauty is irresistible. It disarms us. Takes away our arguments. And then if you expand the notion of beauty—that there is beauty in the tawdry, beauty in ugliness—things get complicated. But I think that beauty, which is more related in my mind to the sublime, is what we cannot resist."

Made in the Image of God

A lot of times I just ponder on the fact that we are made in the image of God. But what does the image of God really look like? The sad part is that many people only know the image of God based on their own culture. I have been blessed in that I have been to many parts of the world and seen many cultures.

So here are a few pictures to give you some perspective of what the image of God looks like in Namibia.
