Touched By Joy

"The kids have such joy in their faces." "How is John doing, the boy with depression?" "What do I do to become a missionary?"

These are a few of the things I have heard during the past three months. -- After seeing my DVD about Nigeria, numerous people have been touched by the joy in the eyes of the boys in Nigeria . These kids have every reason to be angry and bitter, yet they choose to be free and to trust in the Lord.-- Prayer warriors have been interceding for John, who I told you all about 5 months ago. John is OK. From what I have heard, he still battles depression, yet has not been suicidal. I have been so blessed to know that people really pray for the boys by name. Check out the the November prayer calendar! -- How thrilled I am when someone shows an interest in serving God’s people overseas!

One goal of being back in the States is to plant seeds of interest into people’s hearts.September was an incredible, abundant, God-filled month! He just LOVES those kids in Nigeria ! He wants hundreds of people to hear about them and I get to be the spokesperson! I spent three weeks in Chicago and was able to share with a Chinese youth group, the Moody Church congregation, ten Sunday schools, house groups, Moody Graduate School, individuals, kids in inner–city Chicago –- it was SO much fun! Currently I am involved University of Mary Hardin-Baylor's Missions Emphasis Week. I graduated from UMHB in 2000 and it is fun to be back on campus. I have had the opportunity to share in classes and seminars about how God called me to missions while I was at UMHB. http://umhb.edu
