TL month is coming up! ATL is the acronym for ‘Ask The Lord’. It’s a month set aside to ask the Lord where He would have us to go and minister. We were given a list of 25 ministry contacts that we could pick to work with in Thailand. And along with those contacts, we were also given the option of choosing Vietnam. But Vietnam’s ministry site and contacts were unknown. My team and I chose Vietnam! The ministry locations and descriptions are still unknown but we are curtain that’s where we are supposed to go for ATL. I’ve been praying about going to Vietnam since October! And my t-mates have the confirmation in their spirit as well. So that’s where we’re headed!!! Vietnam, get ready, Lets Go!~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~
Actually, I’ve been praying for Vietnam for a couple of years now. Why? Because I have a special delivery to do there. Several years ago, a friend of mine donated a box of Bibles to me. At that time, I had a steady Bible Study meeting every Saturday morning with a large group of homeless men and women. Many of them had poor eye sight and had trouble reading small print. Large print Bibles were too expensive for me to buy in bulk of 15 or 20, so when my friend from church donated that box of Bibles, I was so thankful. Inside of that box was a Bible written in Vietnamese! I knew as soon as I saw that Bible, that God was going to give me the opportunity to give this Bible away also. He told me to keep it. So I did, but I didn’t know for how long or anything. I didn’t image it would be like this. I held on to that Bible, always looking for an opportunity to give it away. I moved residence several times since that day and always kept packing it up and taking it with me; telling myself that there will come a day. Well, the Lord’s promise is fixing to be fulfilled by His amazing faithfulness. I brought the Bible with me, just hoping that I might run across someone who only reads Vietnamese. Little did I know at that time when I packed it in my bag or even in all those years of carrying it around with me that I was going to be in Vietnam to hand it to the right person. I am so excited. I feel as though I am living the perfect will of God. That, since that time a few years ago, God planned for me to “stumble” upon this Vietnamese Bible, then obey and go on this mission, then obey and listen to His direction, and go to Vietnam, with Bible in hand, to give it to that person. I can say right now, I will probably cry when I meet that person. Because of the beauty of God’s orchestrating will to bring forth His gospel and Truth. I love the small details of the works of God. They fascinate me. I’ve probably even missed so much more details but has I meditate on His works, new revelations start to unfold. Like how the day that I give this Bible to this person will be the perfect timing in their life. That’s awesome. And in order to achieve this precision, I must maintain the relationship of listening and obeying in the Spirit with God. So exciting!!! I’ll keep you posted on the outcome of this life changing delivery later this month. So stay tuned in prayer for me and the person whom this is all for!
