So far, in DRC, our virus cases remain very low. However, we are observing best practices as indicated by the gov't: less than 15 people at a time gathering, reaching out with encouragement through WhatsApp, keeping 1m distances etc. The city has become very quiet. Fewer walking about, fewer businesses running etc.
All boats and planes have been 'grounded', and our borders are closed. There is no option of returning to Canada at this time. I am happy to have no doubt that I am where I am supposed to be for once. LOL This was not my plan, therefore it was His! This simple missionary prays to be used in whatever way will bring Him glory!
We are praying and planning for ways to serve the people He loved so much that He gave up His life to protect them (and us)!
We need His peace, His love, His strength to continue, and His DELIVERANCE. That is all summed up by saying we NEED HIM, more now than ever before!
I pray people will realize He is offering what we are looking for!
Wise men seek Him still.
lyrics by Matt Maher;
Without You, I fall apart
You're the One that guides my heart
When I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus
I need You, oh I need You
Every hour I need You,
my One Defense, my Righteousness,
Oh God, how I need you!
It has been a different time for the church, I think that God is reshaping his church from consumer congregation to a discipleship and committed believers. The global's pandemic COVID-19 has helped Bethsaida church to experience a new approach, working in small home groups.
ReplyDeletewow, we are going back from the primitive church, they were gathered in homes! "God is reshaping his church"
Yes, it's true! We are seeing accelerated growth in our home groups, and need to keep multiplying!
ReplyDeleteI pray that the faith that springs up in the midst of this global chaos, will grow deep and be lasting, to the glory of God!
