Friends and Family,
We have almost been back in Africa for 2 months now, the time has gone by incredibly fast. Ministry at the drop-in center has been hard but is going well. We are forming really close relationships with the kids and they are trusting us more and more with their life stories. I have personally become so attached to the children at the center which makes it even harder to hear about their circumstances at home, its definitely overwhelming. I know the only reason it has been overwhelming is because I am not trusting the Lord with these children. I am not trusting that he will provide for them and keep them safe. I keep trying to figure out what can I do for these kids, in the end it doesn’t matter what I do. Nothing I do or say will make a difference unless I put my full faith and trust in the Lord. The Lord has really been showing me that faith is grown in us through obedience. I must walk in faith through obedience. This is my prayer request for this week that I will surrender the center and these children to Him. That I will embrace the freedom of the fact that it’s not all on my shoulders, God is in control. He reigns over these children and their circumstances.
