They Are So Precious!

 

What Are Our Questions?

What’s on our minds? What do we really

think about? Do we wonder about tomorrow?

Are we concerned about the basics of life?

Was there enough food yesterday and will there be

enough for today? Who will pay the rent so we don’t have

to move again. Can we move and get out of here? Who

cares about me?

 

What Value Will You Place On Us?

Don’t children everywhere have concerns? Do they daydream

and wonder about the next day? Who will reach out to them?

Who will love them with all their might?

 

Will you value us as gifts from God? Will you pray

for us, laugh with us and tickle us? Will you provide what

we need? How far does your reach extend. How big is your love?

Do you care for those who are here and over there too?

 

If you love me, pray for me, provide for me and show me God’s way.

Met a FaceBook Friend Face to Face Today

For a long time now I communicated with this dedicated school teacher

from Geneva NY. Her name is Sandy. I met her through Sue, a long time

friend from my Hometown Jamestown NY.

We shared prayer stories via email. When FaceBook began to take off we

would talk about our ministries in our respective cities. Sandy works hard in

her school with her precious little students. She has taught them how to pray for adults.

Sandy even uses prayer coupons placed in her bulletins and newspapers to find

more prayer needs.

I thank God for the people He places in my life. Sandy is an inspiration to me

as she serves the Lord by ministering to her children and teaching them the power

of prayer.  

Thank you Lord for Your Precious Gifts.

Team Ship, there' Nothing Like it!

The Next Five Post (Highlights of the Mission Team)

I will highlight a member of the Zambia Team and let you
all know why they are the best people in the world. I would
serve with them any where in the world anytime.

The first person is my dear wife, friend and life partner Adrian V. Smith.
She is a trooper in all of the sense of the word. She now walks with
a cane but that didn't deter her from the Zambia trip. In fact all she had
to do is wave the cane and she would get VIP treatment at every airport.

Seriously, she loves God and people around her. Her hugs are contagious.
Adrian had her share of fear and uncertainty about some things but she
pushed forward. Her sensitivity towards the hurting was evident. She
shed tears for those who were orphans and considered vulnerable. Adrian
reached out and touched those who were chronically ill because her heart
demanded it.

Every where we went Adrian spread the joy of the Lord. She laughed her way
across Zambia. I thank God that she is my wife and partner. It was a privilege
for me to serve along side of her.

Zambia is Wonderful

Just a little word to tell you of the wonder of Lusaka Zambia.
This place is like a magnet. Many people are drawn here to
do many things. We met two women on the plane from Jo'burgh
to Lusaka to help a pastor and church with their work with people
effected with HIV/AIDS. They together raised $12,000.00 for the
pastor to buy 23 arces of land to build an orphanage for children.

These two senior citizens were an inspiration to me as they showed
me a copy of an article written about them. They are busy on this
trip with details regarding their ministry.  They are Australian Baptist
who have a passion to bring the love of Christ to people who are hurting.
Marg and Dawn are drawn to Zambia like a magnet draws metal. They
are a wonder that I wish you could have the opportunity to meet.

Pray that God would use you today that you might be a wonder to
those around you. Make a difference in the lives of others as the
chance presents it's time.

Friday July 23, 2010 - Today we faced pain, eye ball to eye ball.
The lord allowed us to meet some really awesome children today.
The were taught in a large church building with a new roof. It was
a blessing as the older children sang three heart wrenching songs.
They showed us team building exercises that showed how they trusted
one another.

These are just snippets of God's work in Zambia. I have some video
to share at a later time. Please keep praying for us. Please ask God
for wisdom for us.
