B N Missions

Well last night as I was reading my bible. I was tired and flipped it open and it fell to Corinthians. I was like yeah Let's read 2 Corinthians So I start at 1:8-11.

⁸ We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters,^[b] about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. ⁹ In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. ¹⁰ And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us. ¹¹ And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety.

While I would not say we are mortal danger... you never know what could happen anywhere in the world. whether in the US or elsewhere. But I know God protects! But it was sooooo appropriate, God does have a sense of humor. hehe. Well He makes me laugh at least. But thank you for your prayers. I have to see a man about a jet lane today. I have another stop before I am back in the US. Romania to help another missionary friend for a few days. The stop didn't cost anymore on my plane ticket so I took the opportunity to help her out.

Asia ... we did have our challenges here. and rubs with the cultural differences. It is as always a reminder to rely on God. Traffic here is insane since no one thinks the rules applies to them. Which create pure chaos. So our daily walks were always interesting. I won't share every detail or challenge with ya... but Know that just as Paul wrote- thank you for praying for us. God has used those prayers!

God is alive mighty and well. since 1995 there were non existent Christians or extreme few. Now there are about 80,0000 in this land. Buddhist and shamanism are the strongmen here. But God is reclaiming His people as they see, He is the prince of peace. Peace is something that is wanted and truly sought after in this land. A land of warriors, nomads, and average people trying to get by everyday. I have had the privileged to hear stories of how people felt so dark and hopeless and were drunk and violent, or living on the streets or working on the streets... and more. ... and how they each shared that they wanted peace. And they saw that when they became a christian they had peace, their life was not dark and they have come out of prostitution or stopped drinking and fighting and the joy on their faces now and their lives changed.
Anyways... I'll stop rambling. It has been great to see The true saving grace that Only Jesus can bring.
