I wanted to share with you a story that has touched my
heart.
A worker in China writes: “I am a single woman working in a Chinese city
alone, but God is with me in everything!
When I first arrived in my city, I moved into my apartment and called my
family to give them my new phone number.
My mother’s first statement was, “An ambulance has just picked up your
sister. She will be dead by the end of
the week.” (She had been suffering with
cancer for some time.) I didn’t know
what to do.
After investigating a way to get to the states,
God led me to call home again. I said,
“God, I can’t. I know my sister is
gone.” However, I called and found out
that my sister had just died. I talked
to my mom for a while and then sat on my couch alone. I asked God, “Why am I here? I should be with my family!”
Immediately there was a knock on my window. A young lady said, “I was told that I should
come and see you. May I come in?” Totally unaware of what I was going through
she plopped down on the couch and said, “I have been searching for God. Can you
tell me about the true God? She
accepted Jesus as her Savior that day.
I thanked God for reminding me why I live
overseas and that I am never alone.
Even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of grief, He is with
me. Those who think I am a team of one
can’t see the One who stands beside me.”
Psalm 23:1-4, “The lord is my shepherd; I have
everything that I need. He lets me rest
in green meadows; he leads me beside the peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing
honor to his name. Even when I walk
through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close
beside me.”
God has called each one of you for a
specific purpose. At this time in your
support raising some of you may be asking, “Will I get enough raised?” Please do not get discouraged, work at it
with all your might. Get your prayer
teams to pray. This is when you need
them around you the most. Don’t lose
sight of your goal.
Don’t miss the opportunity that God has placed in
front of you, like the women in China, she was obedient to God and look what God did for
her. Don’t get discouraged, if you are,
please let us know. We
want to encourage you and pray for you.
