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!
