You Are Really Something Special!

Just reflecting today on all the work going on around us and how wonderful it is to partner with you in it. And we want to share a poem with you that reminds us of you, our dear co-workers far away who keep us close at heart:

You are really something special
For you take the time to pray,
Your thoughts for us are many
Even from so far away.

So many times, we think of you
Words can’t express our thoughts,

You help us when we’re overwhelmed

And for us you have fought.

You’ve helped us make that extra mile

Been with us as we’ve climbed,

Up mountains and then down again,

Through dust, and mud and grime.

You are really something special

For you keep us close at heart,

You stand with us and cry with us

In all we do, you have a part.  

100 men praising God at a recent Men's Retreat

Paul pouring out his heart from the Word at the Men's Retreat!

God’s Word that these men heard is impacting their lives!

We got a letter two days ago from Jomar, one of the elders in Tumpagon. Here is an excerpt from his letter: “I am so thankful and so happy for the time we had together at the retreat. For me the things I learnt have been a huge help in showing me what areas in my life I am lacking spiritually and I am determined to put into practise the things that I learnt.....last Sunday, all of us who attended the retreat gave testimony of needs that God has shown each of us in our lives......thanks be to God at how many of us here are busy going about the Lord’s work. I sense there is a great spirit and great joy amongst the believers here as they serve Jesus.....”

We hope this news encourages you dear co-workers, your prayers are very effective and very needed every day and when we think about your praying, it makes us realize why God is doing the things He is doing here: He is answering your prayers!!!

“.......brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified.....”  2 Thess 3:1.
