Last week I shared with you that the Tanzania team was going
to have a work day on Saturday and we did. It is always so much fun to watch the ladies as they get to know each
other in person for the first time. Four
of our team members were not able to join us so we will have that fun again
when we all come together at the Atlanta airport before leaving the country
together.
Lots of little details were talked about and worked out for
the trip. We are right on course of
where we need to be as a team before leaving the country. I’m totally excited about that. Also, I loved getting to watch the ladies get
to know each other. I am going to have
my hands full as a team leader! However,
as I told them, their sweet submissive attitudes make me look like I know what
I’m doing. Ha,ha,ha,ha! I am including some pictures of our time together.
Also, I am happy to share with you that we have had more
missionary women sponsored since last week and we now only have 14 missionary
women left to be sponsored. Thank you
soooooo much for just listening to the LORD and for being a part of Pure Joy
International. We really do believe God
makes a difference in and through us and you for these ladies and their
families overseas. Please remember to pray for me this week as I finish working
on the messages I believe God would have me share in Dominican Republic next
week. If He isn’t giving me the words to
speak to them I have nothing of value to offer them. So pray hard!
There is a lot going on around us with the Ebola
situation. Many people are asking us
questions about leaving the country and heading to Africa even though it is in
a different location than West Africa. We don’t take things lightly that are happening. But, that is also one reason we require our
team members to know that they know as much as humanly possible that God has made
it clear for them to be on the trip and that their husbands give full agreement
to their going. We truly believe we are
safer out of the country in God’s will than in the country out of Gods
will. And we don’t pretend to understand
all His ways and purpose. So, just
continue to pray that we are sensitive to His leading all the time.
Hope everyone has a spirit-filled week. Next week I have asked one of our team members
to share her experience with us about being a part of Pure Joy and the Tanzania
trip. I’ll catch up with you when I get
back from Dominican Republic.
Love you all.
His,
Vickie
