" By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard, coming down upon the edge of his robes." Psalm 133:1-2
It's a beautiful thing when you see these verses fulfilled through the people of God! The third Sunday of July, the Lord sent me to Grace Truth Church to present the ministry in Papua, Indonesia. Although I was nervous speaking to the church, it was a blessing to share this ministry and see people get excited about it! After the presentation, I had a small table set up with a slideshow of Papua displayed on my laptop, some letters, and memorabilia from Papua. People chatted with me while they looked at the table. It was a blessing to talk with the saints about Papua!
One of my first emotions I had when I thought about partnership development was fear. I was afraid to speak in front of numerous amounts of people. However, as the Lord sends me to various churches, I have been greatly encouraged! It's very cool to meet other believers who love the Lord and are zealous for His kingdom work in the the world! Although I meet strangers on these trips, due to Christ, I am able to have sweet fellowship with these "strangers," who are actually my brothers and sisters in Christ. We are unified in Christ and, thus, are able to dwell in unity. Praise God for this precious gift!
I look forward to visiting more churches and fellowshipping with God's people!

Telling others about the Lord's ministry in Papua, Indonesia
Praise the Lord! God has graciously helped me get ready to visit churches! All my letters, presentations, and mission boards are ready to go! Glory to God! I am officially ready to start telling others about the ministry in Papua! I am eager to spread the truth of what God is doing in Indonesia and the burden He has placed on my heart to other believers.
The first Sunday in May, the Lord opened an opportunity to visit Shady Grove Baptist Church in Georgia. Although I struggle with fear in talking to large groups of people, the Lord graciously gave me peace to trust in Him! In ephesians 3:20, we are taught that the Lord is able to do far more abundantly than we think or ask. The Lord fulfilled this verse at my first presentation. One of my desires was to fellowship with the believers from Shady Grove. God knew that desire and graciously provided fellowship with them at the church's potluck lunch. By God's grace, I was able to go to the lunch and fellowship with some of its members. It was such a blessing to chat with them! When I came back to the church to present, God answered more prayers. As I mentioned before, I struggle with anxiety. Well, after crying out to the Lord in prayer with a dear sister, God helped me speak clearly, confidently, and with much zeal during the presentation. I was so incredibly blessed to share the Lord's ministry in Indonesia. He is so Faithful!
With my first presentation under my belt, I am eager to visit other churches. It is such a blessing and joy telling God's people about the need and ministry in Indonesia. If anybody knows of a church who would like to hear about this ministry, please send me their contact information. All for His glory!
