Hello everyone!
I need to keep this simple for now and yet there is so much to share about the amazing ways God is moving in and through us in Egypt. The goals of God’s heart are being met for the people of Sudan! We are seeing hope arise in the hearts and lives of a refugee group that has been down for far too long now. As I experience the overwhelming love God has for the people of Egypt and Sudan I can’t help but tremble in his very presence! I have met some incredible leaders and can say honestly that there is a generation arising that will change the course of their nations as they take their God by the hand and go forward! They are crying out for it and God has heard their cries! There have been over 28 people give their hearts to Christ! We have seen others who have had many questions about their future, their God and where he is in the midst of their suffering come to a whole new desire to pursue him more and to find the answers to their questions. I have new members to add to my personal family, sons and daughters..(a very special son and daughter Anwar and Jerusalem! they are from Sudan) It’s a privilege to have them become a part of my family. I can say that this outreach has been the most amazing I’ve experienced by far! My walk with the Lord has been impacted in a whole new way and while I came here to serve and be a blessing, once again I feel it happened quite the other way around. It’s been a privilege to be here and to serve. We leave next Friday for home. Our whole team is being impacted by this as none of us are ready for it to be over yet. I’m very proud of our staff and students who have served so awesome and allowed God to move through them in amazing ways! It has been awesome to serve with every last one of them and I honestly would do it all over again with this group! Paul and Ana Maria have been amazing leaders and I know God is preparing them for even more in the future. Myself, I have grown a lot in this time and have learned a lot about just how deep the responsibility is for those God brings into our lives to disciple and to mentor. I’ve learned that I’m more and more in Love with my Savior every step I take with him. I want to grow more and more and go deeper still! I can’t do anything a part from him and yet my value in him is unmentionable! WOW! This isn’t just for me but for all of you as well! Do you know just how much he loves you? God is so amazing! HE is LOVE! HE LOVES YOU! He isn’t some angry God just waiting to pour out his wrath…quite the opposite…he is a loving Father waiting for his children’s voice and embrace! HE longs for us to turn to him…he then can pour his love through us into those around us! (I must say that he is a just God just in all of his ways and he is justice for those who are receiving injustice and it does say in his word its a fearful thing to fall into the hands of God, I will not minimize who he is but I will not take the devils lies either on who he isn’t).
Blessings,
Twila
