Well, I made my way down to the Lone Star state this past week. Met with an awesome group of women to discuss the up-coming trips o Southeast Asia, Mexico, and Greece. We had a sweet time and I always love seeing new faces and getting to hear their stories. It is amazing to watch how God is at work in women’s lives preparing them in advance to get on board with the ministry before I ever get to share my heart with them. I love how He works in our lives. He Knows.
We are negotiating contracts with the hotels this week. So we will most likely open registration for the conferences in Southeast Asia and Guanajuato City, Guanajuato, Mexico, the week of March 28. So get the word out to your friends that are serving in those areas of the world. Remember first come, first serve. Also, the teams are filling up that will be traveling to these countries. We have gone to a waiting list on the Mexico trip for team members, as of last week. If God is moving on your heart to be on a team, please contact me even if we are on waiting list status, because it isn’t uncommon for people to be moved up from the waiting list with team members and/or our missionary women.
I have a very special prayer request. Jon Moore a precious friend and co-founder of Christfollower.com was diagnosed with stage two Lymphoma cancer last August. He went through treatment and was given a cancer free status. However, this past week they found three nodules on his thyroid, one of them is malignant. They will have to take out his thyroid gland. The prognosis for this surgery is good. I am asking that you add him to your prayer list and that his body will continue to heal by God’s grace and the men and women He has gifted in the medical field.
I want to close by sharing with you something Jon shared in the note he sent out to his prayer warriors. I love it because it shows you his heart and the quote by Corrie Ten is such a truth for all of us regarding the darkness we come up against on our journeys. And I quote.....
We were initially taken back by the news, but on reflection and prayer realized it was no surprise to the Lord, and we have every confidence He will walk with us (and carry us) through this as He has on numerous occasions in our life. The Lord has been so good and gracious through all of this, and He led me in my reading just two days after receiving the news to a quote by Corrie Ten Boom (author of "The Hiding Place"). Her statement, "When a train goes through a tunnel, and it gets dark, you don't throw away your ticket and jump off the train. You sit still and trust the engineer!"
My dear ones, I pray if you are in a dark place, sit still and trust the engineer!
Love you all,
His,
Vickie
