Is 30:18 “But the Lord still waits for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion.  For the Lord is a faithful God.  Blessed are those who wait for him to help them.”

 

Well we are set to go on February 20^th- March 4^th.  Yes, the China team that was supposed to be going in early November 2012, postponed the trip until February 2013.  Due to the change of top government officials in November in China, we made the choice to reschedule our trip and are now preparing once again to leave for Beijing.  Thankfully through God’s grace, this didn’t equate to greater monetary expenses, simply a mental shift in timing. 

 

 

 As someone who has never been on a mission before, I am in awe of how much I have learned and I haven’t even stepped on the plane!  I set out in obedience and hope to be a blessing to those in China and yet somehow, someway they have already blessed me.  In discovering how hungry our Chinese sisters are to hear God’s word brings tears to my eyes.  This delay has also given new meaning to God’s perfect timing.  We may never know why this “postponement” took place, but what we do know is that our departure is now just three weeks away and it is clear this time it is a go. 

 

 

We ask for your prayers for our team, as we once again focus on our mission.  Please pray that as we prepare to go, we can rest in His sovereignty.   There are new items on everyone’s plate that were not there before, and as faithful jugglers we must be present for Him to work in us.  We ask for Him to lead us!  We pray for wisdom in our time left to prepare, for our surrendering to Him to be available in what He calls us to do, and for our hearts and attitudes will bring glory to Him! We all have a great desire to be 100% present to this mission and serve in ways that will bring honor and joy to Him and bless our Chinese sisters.  We ask for prayer for the strength, unity and health of the team too.  We ask for prayer for opportunities to share with our sisters, for healing, restoration, and to be able to share His love with the people we come in contact with.
