Just Over Two Weeks Left

Family Time is special! This weekend, Miriam and Mike came to visit. We had a great time together - eating in Historic Charlottesville and then visiting Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home. It was such a beautiful day and the time together was great. Sunday was special too as we were able to celebrate their birthdays - Mike's was the 6th and Miriam's the 16th. They were able to worship with us in our MAC/SAM house church. (All us going to the Middle America & Carribean Region and South American Region worship together in a house church Tuesdays through Friday and on Sundays.)

These past two weeks have been overwhelming as the Spirit has moved upon us. Tom Elliff and Dr. Rankin have spoken on doctrines and spiritual warfare. Again we are reminded we must not try to go out in our own might but only empowered by the Holy Spirit and covered with the prayers of dear prayer warriors like you who hold us daily before the throne. God's hedge of protection is that which crowds us to Christ. Sometimes it is a hedge of physical protection; sometimes it is a hedge of spiritual protection, but it is ALWAYS security in Himself. Our definitions of words are being changed to His definitions and our understanding is being changed to conformity to His image alone. We are confident that the hedge keeps Satan from taking our life before God's time. God's Will will be accomplished to bring GLORY to His name. Whatever it takes, Lord.

Our time here is quickly coming to the end. This time has been God sent in our lives -- a time of drawing away to Himself alone, a time of being washed with his presence, a time of preparation for what lives ahead, a fresh wind blowing upon us.

As you pray for us, remember the thousands in Middle America who walk in darkness unaware of the love of God and His provision of His saving grace.
