Today is one of those days when the load is so heavy...
I need a financial miracle. Not for me but for the work in far south and Paraguay...I need 1200 to pay the engineer for the blueprint he is drawing up for the church in Navirai. I need to buy a 3 and half yards rolling gate for our property so we can start building the church there but must have the gate so people will not steal our materials and invade our property which is always a threat in 3rd world countries.
I need 600 for the Paraguay work urgently...and gas money for the missionary that is traveling down there for us...
And I need 1500 for the work here in the state of Alagoas…
That is besides the many, many other things…these are PRESSING needs…Will you folks bind together with me and pray for God to touch people’s hearts to send to missions. Thanks so much.
I deeply understand what Paul talked about when he mentioned the weight of all the churches is upon me…

sister alvear: we will pray right now. the bible says "where 2 or 3 are gathered together beleiving on one thing, it will happen. " we are beleiving right now in Jesus name.
we love you all. pray for us as well. the weight of the churches are upon us as well, but we are beleiving in Jesus name.

The burden for this is great and the need is great...BUT we serve a great God!!

It is He who saw all of this before the beginning, and it is He who is strengthening as you go.

My heart and sincere prayers are with you, Mother A...how I wish I could do more!!

I wish I had the money to give all this to you! We are trying hard now to save money to be able to go to Kenya this year. We need a financial miracle as well, after seeing the cost of the tickets.

Let's pray for each other!

It is wonderful to share with you great people the burden of the Lord...and together we all believe the Lord for all the many needs of the world...I love you folks...and am praying for you all also...
The needs may be great but our God is greater still...
It is amazing how we have people with burdens for countries all over this world on this forum.

Your words reminded me of Corrie ten Boom..."There is no pit so deep that He is not deeper still."

She could say that after losing family and home in the devastation of World War II. After being imprisoned and abused, destined to meet the same fate as her father and sister, God made divine arrangements just for her.

Through what was later determined to be a clerical ‘error’, Miss ten Boom was released from the deep pit of the concentration camp and certain execution.

It wasn’t error, luck, or coincidence…it was the hand of a loving God making provision and arrangements when there was no way to be found.

I believe He is doing this for you today...

Yes, He is Sister Barb...Much of this effort is going into a new district we are trying to form in southwest Brazil and Paraguay. In time it will become selfsupporting as many of our churches are but right now it is only being born...so they need our help very much. Paraguay is a very poor country and I deeply love the people and the birth of souls there is much more difficult than Brazil. Thank you all soooooooooooooooooo much for praying.
