Today I watched a video that I could not help but pass along. Maybe it will encourage you too! This morning I was praying “When will 2008 be over?”…oddly, the hardest year I’ve known so far. Then I watched this video (below). When Ate Vina started talking, my emotions just let loose. I burst out laughing and crying at the same time!! PRAISE GOD!!! He does amazing work!
Remember the Bible Study that God burdened Elizabeth & I to start in the Philippines? (Click here to read my Women in the Word blog.) On one of the last nights of Bible Study in January, we prayed for each lady individually. I pulled Ate Vina aside, prayed with her, and she burst into tears and started talking to me in Tagolog. I had no clue what she was saying, but I knew God had set something free in her life and was in the middle of changing her! She gave a testimony that night to the group, but it was broken English-Tagolog and challenging to follow…But I remember walking away from that night praising God for the work He was doing in those dear ladies’ lives. And you (my friends throughout the world) all continued to pray for these ladies with me. And now you are witnessing the fruit! How amazing.
This report leaves only one response: “I will extol You my God and King, and bless Your Name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You and praise Your Name forever and ever. Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable.” Ps. 145:1-3.
Thanks so much to Allison (my dear, former June ’07 WR teammate, who is now leading the Oct ’08 WR team) for putting together this video and (most importantly) for continuing to minister to these precious, dear ladies in the Cuatro community of Manila!! See how God is working through Allison’s Familiar Faces II blog. Oh how I love and miss these ladies.
