Sanibonani!
Can you believe it...There is only ONE more Monday between us and South Africa! This week, pray about boldness for our team in sharing our testimonies :) “Every day tell how He saves us. Tell the nations of His glory; tell all peoples the miracles He does.” –Psalm 96:2-3. We will encounter people in the airport, on the plane, and many places before we even get to Mpumalanga. We should be aware of the impact we are making all along the way. People will wonder what this big group is doing, and where we are going.
Pray that we'll leave a positive impression on everyone we meet along the way. We can be a joyful, loving, smiling example of Christ to everyone. "Be wise in the way you act towards outsiders, make the most of every opportunity.” –Colossians 4:5. Too often, the "Christian" label has a negative connotation. We can be a good example of God's compassionate heart before we even get to South Africa.
"Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else."--2 Corinthians 9:13 NIV
“Let the whole world know what He has done for you.” –Psalm 105:1b
“But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” –1 Peter 3:15
Pray for boldness and courage for our team members in sharing their personal stories. Pray that each of us will open our hearts and mouths, and let God flow out. We don't have to be perfect, or know all the right words to say. Leave all that up to Him.
And over the next week and a half, the PA students have cumulative final exams!! Pray that they will use their study time effectively, and that they are able to recall all that they've learned this semester.
Until next time...Unkulunkulu akubusisei!
