A Day to Always Remember!


Dear Friends,
Our prayers were answered in a BIG WAY today. I could only weep when I received word of how the day had gone. May I share what two of the team members wrote:
  • Your prayers continue to be answered everyday. Thank you so much. Didi's World was so much fun that Frank (one of the children) said "Today is the best day of my life!" When we returned to the orphanage this evening the children had prepared songs and dance for us. I so wish that you could have heard them praise and worship the Lord. It was unbelievable. We were all in tears. Today has been amazing!
  • Today was probably one of the best and saddest days of my life. Didi's World was wonderful. When we returned to the house the children had songs and testimonies for us. It was the most heartfelt and God driven thing I have ever experienced. They kept saying how much we had helped them and blessed them, but it was the other way around. I have been truly blessed and life changed this week. It is amazing what God can do!
Things could have gone so differently today or any other day this week. So many obstacles could have happened. . . attitudes could have been wrong . . . fear could have overtaken. But God was in their midst. Thank you so much for petitioning our MIGHTY GOD. May all praise and glory go to HIM!!!!!!!

Prayer request for Sunday-Tuesday
The team will be going to a traditional African church service in the morning. I know they will be so blessed. Then they will head off for their two day safari before beginning their journey home. Thank you for lifting up the following prayers for them over the next two days.
  • I pray, O Lord, that the team would experience You in a brand new way as they enjoy Your magnificent creation.
  • I pray that You would command your angels around them to protect them as they travel.
  • I pray that you would bless them with favorable weather conditions and with spectacular viewing of Your awesome creation.
  • O Lord, may they truly fellowship with one another as You strengthen their bond as co-workers in Christ.
  • I pray that each member of the team would remember the depth of your abiding love for them as they finish up their trip
We couldn't thank you more for being part of this mission!

In Him and for Him,
Betty Jo
