"...if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved...for 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.' How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? AND HOW WILL THEY HEAR UNLESS SOMEONE TELLS THEM? And how will they go UNLESS THEY ARE SENT." Romans 10:9,13-15a
Wow! This scripture has been on my heart for the last few weeks. How will the people in the desolate places of the world know about the great LOVE and GOODNESS of God unless people are sent to tell them, and show them by our actions? What an awesome priviledge and responsibility comes with being in relationship with Christ! It is actually for this reason that I first went to South Africa. I remember how terribly afraid I was, and the words of Joyce Meyer ringing in my ear... "DO IT AFRAID!" Of course, now I am eagerly awaiting the next time I get to be with my S.A. family :) This week is very exciting! Living Hope has a Partners Conference this Thursday in Brentwood, so I am able to go!!! The thought of hugging my distant friends is almost too much- I simply cannot wait to see them, and without 20+ hours of air travel! I am preparing my fundraising letters to go out this week. Please pray with me that God would place a spirit of generosity in people and that they will want to support me. I am praying this especially for those who don't believe as i do (I have many wonderful friends that respect my beliefs and care for me, but don't share in my faith). Pray that they would see past this and support me as I go to help people in great need on the other side of the world. Love to all, Jennifer LeAnn
