Crossing the Line...

Costa Rica here we come!!!! We are only two days from ‘crossing the line’ of preparations into the realm of watching the Holy Spirit of God work His wonders!! If you have traveled with Pure Joy on a trip before, you know that I am counting the seconds until all team members arrive at a central airport where the team will meet each other in person for the first time. It is such an incredible moment to watch those hearts all become wrapped up together in preparation for being a living sacrifice for the MOST HIGH GOD!

Someone else has been ‘crossing a line’ too - the enemy! The spiritual warfare this team has experienced in the last two weeks has been incredible! I encouraged the team over the weekend to get out their stomping boots! We don’t war against flesh and blood and this team doesn’t fight the battle with horses and chariots but by the power and strength of the LORD OUR GOD! Therefore, pray for us as we leave the country. We have a team member whose dear friend lost her mother this week, one team member whose husband was hospitalized this past week and is still hospitalized as of this writing, one team member who had a major family issue, one of our missionary lady’s precious 4 year old had an emergency appendectomy and may have to have another surgery before this week is over, and I got terribly ill last Thur. night and have just been back to the living since late Monday afternoon (today is Thur). So pray, pray and pray some more for this team as we love on those missionary women!

Also, thank you for your faithfulness to sponsor these women with your prayers and financial support. God has been faithful as ALWAYS to move on the hearts of His people! We have 44 women sponsored with 6 to go. Honestly, I am so thankful for your hearts! You make my heart smile!

If you haven’t signed up as a Friend of Pure Joy please go to the web site and sign up so you will receive updates while we are on the trip.

Love you all So Much!

P.S. Slow down this week and really become aware of those God allows to cross your path. If you do, you will probably see some ‘sad eyes’, ‘weary faces’ and ‘lonely hearts’ just to mention a few. “Give them a Drink,” JESUS.
